I bled for quite a while too. I think it was for around 6w. The first couple of weeks were the worst, and it was EXTREMELY heavy in the first week. It remained bright red for quite a long time too, and within the first week it was very clotty, but not any really large clots (i.e. they were smaller than the size of a lemon which apparently is the size at which they begin to get a bit concerned). I remember in the first couple of weeks I'd have these gushes....and it wasn't too good! The first week was the worst though. I rang the hospital to talk to them about it and was reassured that what was going on was totally normal for what I had been through, and I also spoke to the CHN about it, who came to visit me at home.
