Short Period After D&C- Need Some Help Please

I had a d&c 5 weeks ago and the bleeding stopped after 2 weeks. I got my period 2 days ago , after 5 weeks from my d&c.

The period is weird...the color is lighter than ever, very little bleeding and it stopped after 2 days...

I was wondering if anyone had the same problem as me...is this period? Is it ovulation? What kind of strange period is this?

Is it normal to have 2 days period after d&c?

My regular periods were always as a clock and last for 4-5 days...with darker color...

Any information would be more than greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What can I do next?

I did not have a d&c. However, I did have a tubal pregnancy in April. I got my period about 5 weeks later. My first normal length of cycle and amount of bleeding was in July-August. In May, June & the length between June & July were all very abnormal. One was really heavy, one was really light and the length between each period was 5-6 1/2 weeks! I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm sure you'll period will go back to normal within a few months.

Your body had been through a difficult experience. It will take a month or two before it gets back to normal. (That why Drs recommend waiting 3 or 4 cycles before trying to get preg again.) I'm betting in about four weeks you will have a much more normal period. Be patient with your body. (If you were having EXCESS or frequent bleeding, I would be more worried - too little bleeding is likely your body readjusting and reacting to the D&C.)

Didn't have the d & c, but did miscarry at about 7 weeks. Took me 2-3 times to return to normal. The first one was definitely different and much shorter and kind of threw me for a loop too, the 2nd was a lot sooner than it should have been, but went a little longer, then by the 3rd, I was back to normal. Give it some time.
