AF or something else? After ERPC...

Its one week today post ERPC. I have had no bleeding at all. Last night I started spotting so put on a pad and this morning its quite a medium-heavy brown flow with clots (ew). Its not turned red yet, but is this likely to be AF or something else (like hormone withdrawal)? I would have thought this is very very soon for AF and perhaps its that my pregnancy hormones have dropped alot (maybe back to 0?) and its caused a bleed (like post-pill would). ???? Any ideas?

Also, at what point/do I call my dr??

Thanks!

Hey Plastic fantastic link.. it answered all questions, THANKS.

BANANA , so sorry for you loss, its sucks and so does not knowing what is supposed to happen next.
I had just spotting, brown, gunk, on-off for 2 weeks. Nothing heavy or worrying. Then on day 31 I had a period, which was heavy, clots and nothing like I've ever had before!
So I say wait a while a week or two, dont worry if nothing more happens now, but I did a preg test (before AF) which was neg so kind of gave me an idea that the bleed really was AF. At least I think thats whats been going on. The site link from Plastic really helped me.

I'm sure you will find answers on various MN threads if you are still unsure. Chin up! HUGS

Thanks for the link. I have no bad symptoms really other than basically a 'black' period which is very very weird as I have never experienced anything like it. Will leave it I think-seeing the consultant Fri so will mention then if I need to. Thanks!
