Anyone had this happen?

I had a D & C done on Friday, 4/25 for a miscarriage. I should have been 13 weeks but baby died at 10w5d. Anyway, I bled lightly until early Sunday then it stopped. I continued to have cramping, some severe enough to wake me in the night, but was taken care of by darviset. I called doc and he said as long as I wasn't bleeding heavily we would just watch it. Well, the cramping has let up, I still have some light cramping here and there but I started bleeding all of a sudden on Saturday, 5/3. It was enough to soak the crotch of my panties and through to my shorts. It scared me so I called doc and he said, could be some placental debris left but he was pretty positive he got it all and if the bleeding got heavy to go to ER and he would do an U/S to check and see and maybe another D & C. Well the bleeding pretty much stopped after that and just had a few traces of the brown stuff(ya know, sorry kinda gross). Well yesterday afternoon, I had more bleeding, enough to fill 2 pads in about 3 hours and now this morning it is gone again. Anyone know what is happening and had this happen before? I see my doc on Friday.

Thanks for any input,

When I had my D&C it was actually like that. I did that for about 2 weeks though. I had horrible cramping sometimes. I know I had cramps off and on until AF came 6 wks later. I am sorry that you are going through this. It sucks I know!
