Laura, your post sounds like it could have been written by myself
(another Laura).  I had a miscarriage (missed abortion) also.  The D&C
was at 14 weeks, the fetus had died at 9-10.  My first period after the
D&C was on time, but SO incredibly heavy I almost went to the Emergency
room.  I was literally gushing blood.  The second one was also very very
heavy, but not as frightening as the first.  My luteals shrank from 12
to 10 days.  My doctor said that my hormones could be out of balance,
and it would take time to get back.  In the meantime (without his
knowledge), I am taking Vitex and eating lots of seaweed to help with
iron and balancing out my hormones.  I have heard from other women who
experienced the exact same thing after a miscarriage, heavy periods and
shortened luteals.  Don't give up hope! Obviously this is not a medical
opinion since I am not a doctor, but just a post to let you know you are
not alone.

Laura
