    Should I ring the doc?

    * Had lap and D&C 2 weeks ago

    So I am definitely bleeding like a period and having some cramping, was up last night with cramping too. Sorry if TMI but there is a fair amount of blood. Thing is I only stopped bleeding after the procedure on Tuesday afternoon last week and started bleeding again yesterday.
    Someone mentioned somewhere earlier that 10 days of bleeding is normal after a D&C but any fresh blood after that is not normal.
    This is the date that I was due for a period from my last one prior to op.
    Should I ring the gynae just to check? Is cramping and heavy bleeding normal in the first af after a d&c - I was kinda hoping not to have this type of pain anymore with the endo removed.

    For starters i havent had a Lap but i have had a D&C -
    Maybe each person is different but when i had my D&C the Gyno told me that i would have a loss for just under a week (actually was a bit longer for me) then have a few days break then spot again. Then get AF shortly after. But i actually went on to have a full blown AF. With more cramping than normal.
    Then it went away and i went back to my normal cycle the next month - actually it was 2 days longer than normal.
    Last two cycles were how they should be - I am now 3 months after D&C
    Does that make sense ? What a ramble - sorry
    I didnt check with my Dr.
    Good luck !
