My first one was odd. Lots of clear slime/mucus with a bit of blood in it, rather than just blood as it would normally be. Whether it should be like that I don't know though....

That was the only one I've had so far.

Had ERPC mid Oct, and didn't have a period - assuming that's what it was - until 6 weeks afterwards. It lasted for 11 days and ended about a week ago.

I haven't seen the GP. Mine's as useful as a chocolate teapot.

I've got a follow up with the consultant who did my ERPC in 6 weeks time so I'll mention it then. Hopefully I'll have had another period by then too (I'm not allowed to get pg at the moment) so I'll see how that goes.

Have you had a lot of pain with it? Mine was excruciating before it came and during the first few days. Much worse than normal period pain.
