Vaginal bleeding weeks after D&C. is it normal?

Resolved Question:

Still bleeding after D&E on 9/12. Follow up on 9/26 was fine. Started what I thought was my period on 10/4 and it lasted through 10/11. Started bleeding again on 10/25 and still bleeding like period to just spotting. No fever, chills, foul smelling discharge and negative pregnancy test. Wondering if this is normal.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
For a few weeks after a D and E, it is normal to have abnormal bleeding and spotting.
What is most important is that you should have had a follow up ultrasound scan to confirm that the uterus is empty and the procedure was complete.
If that is done, do not worry.
Give yourself upto 2 - 3 months for your cycles to regulate , and meanwhile have protected sex.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
Regards.
