Judy, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Having gone through it recently I thought I would answer your questions. I didn't bleed at all after my D&C until 5 days after the procedure when I passed a rather large clot one time only (I did have a lot of cramping for about 3 days following the D&C). I had my D&C on 10/17 had my first period almost exactly 28 days following and then conceived again the second month (waited 1 month before trying). I am now almost 15w and everything looks good so far. I have heard a lot of people say that it is easier to conceive right after a D&C. I was very suprised it happened the first month we tried, but I guess that is not all the uncommon. Hoping the same happens for you!
