When I left the hospital after my D&C, my doctor told me to worry if I bled enough bright red blood to soak a pad in 15 minutes.

Hope that helps?

I never had a D&C, but my Dr. told me the same thing. Any time you go throu a pad that quickly, you need to be seen.

I hope things get better!

Sometimes they give you a medcation that makes you cramp and bleed...the bleeding is a good thing medically speaking (as long as it's not terribly heavy) b/c it helps prevent infection in the long run.

I bled heavily like that for about 10 days - became very aneamic. It was not nice, but the time off work gave me time to try and deal with my feelings. Thinking of you x

Thanks everyone....i still don't have any answers, my dr. sent me for an internal and external ultrasound and some blood tests. Today the bleeding has tapered off, so hopefully its almost done now and that yesterday was just a fluke and nothing serious.

After an induced labor followed by a fetal demise I bled moderately heavy; I kept calling the doctor's office describing the bleeding. The nurse assured me it was a "normal" process after the procedured and the bleeding could last up to 8wks. After 8wks of bleeding I made an appointment with the doctor and learned I had a serious infection. I support whenever in doubt request to be examined by the doctor. My thoughts are with you.

I didnt have a D&C so I am sorry I don't have any advice on what to do or expect, but your doctor will know best and if the bleeding gets very heavy then that would be a concern. As long as it's tapering off you should be fine. I hope things get better.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
