I suppose my questions are now - what could still be bleeding? And, because we're under a time crunch, is it a bad idea to even attempt to conceive with something still bleeding? I asked my ob but he said it "probably" wouldn't be harmful. He's very relaxed about everything so I'm not sure if it is ok to attempt conception now. We only have two cycles (this one and the next) to make an attempt. >At Tue, 31 Jul 2007, fitzowen wrote:
