Hi ladies, I had my D&C on 8/20 and I am still bleeding! Not heavy but enough that I need to wear a pad. When does it stop? My doc said it would probably only be 3-5 days but I'm way beyond that. Is this normal? I'm so emotionally drained, every time I use the bathroom its a reminder of my loss and it sucks! Anyone else exprrience bleeding this long after D&C?

If you return to activity too quickly it can cause the bleeding to last longer than usual. A lot of people don't even start bleeding until 2-5 days after the surgery and then it usually lasts about a week after that.
So it all depends on your situation. But if you're ever worried just call your doctors office. They are there to answer questions.
Good luck. I'm sorry you're still having to go through this.

I didn't have any bleeding until a few days after, spotted for a couple days, then had full on bleeding, like a period for a week. Overdoing it can definitely increase bleeding as well.
I was told if it is bright red, soaking through more than a pad an hour, have a fever or pain that cannot be controlled by pain meds to call or go to the ER
Thanks to you both! If it doesn't slow down or stop by Monday I'm gonna call my doc. But so far it's not very heavy and no pain/cramps so I don't think I need an ER or anything. FX it stops soon. Thanks for the advice.
