bleeding after D&C......AF

[teachnz]

I had a pre-term birth (baby died two hours later) at 22 weeks, doctors called it pre-term birth because of how far along we were, but it still is kind of like late miscarriage by some definitions.  i had a D&C hours after the birth because i couldn't deliver the placenta naturally.  I bled lightly for about two weeks straight after that.....then nothing....i had some clear egg white vaginal mucus and we did the baby dance two or three times....then after about a 8-10 days I noticed some bleeding again, however this time it is only when i wipe and has not even been enough to have to wear a panty liner except for a couple hours at night once......
anyone have a similiar experience.....how long does bleeding last after D&C? Does it flow continuously, and or stop and go like i am having.....this is not enough blood or continual enough for me to think it is AF already.....anyone have an idea?

sorry for your loss. i had an emergency d&c early on, but the bleeding only lasted about a week or two. everyone is different, i think, but consider calling your doc, just in case it is an infection. it will help to ease some anxiety too. hope this helps. best wishes in the future :)

I am so sorry for your loss. I also had a m/c but Obviously yours is very different because you were further along. I was 6 weeks.  Anyway, I had a D&C & had absolutely no bleeding after.  It took 3 1/2 weeks before I got my period again.
I did have spotting a day or two but was told that it would not count as my period. I need to wait 2 full cycles before trying again IUI/IVF.

Best Wishes to you!!

Sorry I can't really help: I had 1 D&C but I don't recall any bleeding with it, I believe my periods came back as normal periods about a month later.
