First period after D&C, worried

I had a D&C on the 10th of September following a 14 week miscarriage. My period came back on 4th October and I usually have a 5 day period. However, today is day 8 of period and it’s still as heavy as day one but without cramps. Did anyone else experience a prolonged heavier period after their D&C?

Hi OP, I'm so sorry for your loss. I recently had my first period after my D&C on 8th Sept and while the first few days were heavier than normal it soon settled back and was only 6 days long which is a normal length for me. They do say it can be heavier/lighter than normal, but yours sounds a lot.

I would suggest contacting your EPU, even if it's just for reassurance x

Likely fine, but speak to doc to be safe.

Hope you are okay ❤️❤️❤️
