Bleeding after a miscarriage

Hi
I recently experienced a miscarriage on Oct.5, 2007,I immediately had a d&c.  I've been bleeding since.  I've been to several Dr's and no one can determine the cause.  I was also diagnosed with fibroid tumors.  I'm anemic and will need a blood&fluid transfusion soon.  Last week was told that the fibroid are not the source of my bleeding.  My bleeding is clotted, heavy and has a foul odor.  A friend of mine say she experienced the same symptoms following her giving birth.  Since the miscarriage, I've been unable to handle any situations without getting emotional and feeling bitter.  My boyfriend and I broke up and he's abandoned me and have not been really supportive.  I'm really stressed out and a lil depressed.  Do you think that stress and a traumatic experience such as a miscarriage can cause bleeding.  after the d&c, I expected some bleeding but this has been non stop.  Ive been put on the tapered birth control method, hormone therapy nothing works!  My flow is heavy, constant and painful,

I am not a doctor, but it sounds like the d&c didn't get all of the products of conception out and you might have developed an infection. How far along were you when you miscarried? I would ask the dr to get an ultrasound to see if there is stuff in there still. If they've already done that I'm afraid I have no idea. I hope you get answers soon! I dont think that stress and a traumatic experience would cause that kind of physical reaction :/ Give us an update!
