Kind of depends on how much you're bleeding. If you are going through more than a pad an hour , that is concerning and you should call your doctor or go to the ER. I bled heavily for about 5 days after my D&C but it was not more than what a heavy period would be and never soaked through a pad. If you are concerned please call your doctor, that is why they are there.

Same comment as @ctk181, my discharge papers said if it was necessary to use more than one pad an hour call the doc. I had pain as well and took the drugs they have me day one, but Tylenol day 2. Good luck!
Thank you. Bled through the first pad in an hour. Giving it one more hour and if it doesn't let up I'm headed in... I just didn't think this would happen 4 days later?!
I had heavy bleeding for days after my d&c. The third day after is when my bleeding was heaviest, when I gushed and bled all over my bed. The doctor on-call prescribed me a med to help my uterus contract faster, and that made my bleeding stop. It's scary to see so much blood coming out. Keep us posted.
I'm having some contractions now too. Gonna call the doc in the morning and see what he wants me to do. Thinking I'm being a little paranoid and that it's normal... Just didn't happen this way my first D&C. Thanks for sharing your experience, makes me feel sane.
