Helen - I am so sorry you have to go through this... It is not fun.

I had a similar experience to you last month... i had spotting for about a week, did a hpt and got a bfp, then AF showed up. I bled really really heavily for 1-2 days then nothing. I was needing to change my pad every 1-2 hours or so, and had severe cramping, but it really only lasted 1 day full on, then tampered off to nothing. I did not have a d&c either.

Thinking of you during this sad time.
