advice on post-termination bleeding

[mummacassdy]

Hi
can anyone share their stories about bleeding after termination? I terminated 5 weeks ago tomorrow due to diagnosis of Trisomy 21. It was a heart-wrenching choice to make but doctors didn't hold out much hope. Don't get me wrong I was extremely uspet by it all but I am looking to conceive again asap but I don't know what is going on with my cycle.
I already have 3 children aged 9, 11 and 13. I am 38 and have always had regular cycles - 29 days. The termination was an induced labour basically with internal tablets followed by oral ones. I Had to deliver my baby at almost 18 weeks. The doctor felt that all of the placenta was delivered.
I bled for about 2 weeks in decreasing amounts then it petered down to the point of needing a pad but only just and continued watering down from blood to pink and then brown discharge. Just when I thought it was over, at 4.2 weeks past the delivery date, I began having an achy back and period type feelings and bleeding bright red blood and requiring a 'super' pad rather than the 'light' ones I had been needing. It has been 4 days now of this heavier bleeding. Can anyone please offer any kind of explanation as to what is happening to me? Just for the record, there has been no large clots or anything.
thanks so much
