Re: 5 weeks post d&c spotting

How unusual is it to see a lot of old/brown blood this late after a D&C?
What could cause this? It seems unusual that it only happens in the
early part of the day.
As for all the info I left out: I'm 25. D&C in Aug,99 was for blighted
ovum @ 5 weeks (1st pregnancy). D&C in Oct,99 was for non-viable
pregnancy @ 6 weeks. These have been my only two pregnancies and I'm in
good health. I was told the pathology reports came back showing nothing
unusual.
Thanks in advance,
Kris
