Thanks for your response. However, I was never treated with anything. I
had US and antibiotic. Within about 12 hours, I passed clots (with a
lot of severe pain) then bleed normally and felt better. Does this
still sound consistant with the syndrome that you are referring to?
Also, because I was not treated with another D&C to remove the blood, am
I at a greater risk for complications - and what are the potential
complications? Thank you very much for your time.
