When did your bleeding stop after D&C? How did you know you had to have a repeat D&C?

experience: D&C

Hi there… i went in for my 13 week appointment (supposed to be 12 weeks, but at my 8 week appointment, baby measured 9 weeks) they found no heartbeat and baby measured 9 weeks 3 days. MMC…

I had a D&C 12 days ago. No bleeding day of procedure and 2 days after I started bleeding super heavy. About a week ago I started having clots about the size of my thumb, and they would all come gushing out at once several times a day. 2 days ago I had a clot about the size of my palm come out and I was terrified that it was that large. Afterwards, I sat on the toilet for about 1/2 hr passing smaller clots about the size of my thumb up to quarter size…

Yesterday there was no blood all the way up to today about late afternoon I felt a small gush of blood again… no clots.

I’m still cramping, almost like it’s my period but I know it’s just uterus trying to get back to normal size…

So my question is… did you have a similar experience and need a repeat D&C? Or did your bleeding/clotting eventually stop without repeat D&C?

I’m just so ready to be done with the pain of seeing the blood and knowing I miscarried our baby… I’m ready to finally heal and move past this chapter.
