>>Thank you for responding so quickly. I haven't called my doctor because he said to wait 2 weeks and it's been 11 days since my visit. The bleeding has really slowed down. For the past few days it has been very dark brown and light, and I've only had to wear one panty liner. But, my breasts have been really sore like when I was pregnant. Do you still think I should call the dr. right away or wait and see what happens? Thanks, Jennifer
