Is it normal to bleed 12 days after d&c?

2026-09-03 02:22:17
I had an abortion (d&c) at 5 weeks on the 12 days ago. I had very light spotting the week and then started bleeding lightly on the 9th day. It was like a medium to heavy period on the 10th and 11th day and with cramping. The bleeding still continues on the 12th day. Is it normal?

Spotting is expected after D&c for 7-8 days . If it’s still happening beyond that , then you need to meet your gynecologist for complete evaluation and examination.

Bleeding can occur for some days after a D&C, but the pattern and amount of bleeding need to be assessed individually. It’s not possible to advise you accurately without examining you and reviewing your reports/ultrasound. Please come for a consultation so we can assess you properly and guide you accordingly.
