How long did your bleeding last after a D&C?

thesmiths88 · Sep 13th, 2009, 15:08 PM

Hiya, wonder if anyone would mind telling me how long they bled for after a D&C? Just wondering how much longer on average its going to take me to stop bleeding.

Thanks guys.

Hello
I didn't bleed much. right after almost at all and then maybe 3-4 days but nothing major. After a week all the physical symptoms were gone. My understanding is that every woman is different and if you bleed for more than 2 week you should see a doctor or if it's really heavy. Take care. I know it's a very difficult time and my heart goes to you. Things do get better.

They say you can bleed up to 10 days like a period, and have spotting for up to 4 weeks or more. Generally, your next period will come 4 - 8 weeks after the d&c was done. My dr told me any bleeding between 4 - 8 weeks was considered normal and to be ignored (unless it was an actual period, which you should be able to tell most times).

hi i had a D and C 2 weeks ago on wed night. i didnt have a lot of bleeding but i did get put on antibotics as i had stomach pains still after a week it was only a slight infection. bleeding was a small amount usually only there when i went to the loo. has stopped altogether now so was about 10 days.i have heard that you are meant to have no show of bleed for about 3 weeks then you should get your af. which in a way i am looking forward to getting so i know everthing is back to normal and we can start trying again. x

When I had mine I bled that night and spotted for 2 days, minimal amounts though. That was it! that was 4 weeks ago and now im desperate for AF to come back...! I did loads of googling to see what was normal and what wasnt regards bleeding after a D&C, it ranges from non to a few weeks, everyone is different.

I bled for a few days, then it stopped then started up again, and was so heavy that I ended up in the emergency room as it wouldnt' stop. The pathetic part was they put me in the "baby" area, and the DR actually asked me how far along I was... HELLOOOOOOoooo... I have lost complete faith in the health system here

My bleeding lasted just over a week and it has finally stopped

I was a bit worried last week as I passed a big mass but I think it was the last part of the pregnancy xxx
