sandy... I also had a "natural" mc and what you are explaining is the same as what I went through... the bleeding took over a week to stop and the cramping required pain killers for about a week. The day after the second twin I went to the A & E who confirmed the MC was complete and perscribed strong pain killers. It then took about 30 days to AF and then cycles have been normal since then. I have not had a D & C so I dont know how to compare the two.
