Heavy periods and blood clots after d&c

Hey ladies. I had a d&c due to miscarriage on December 31st. I had my first period at the end of January. It was heavy and lasted longer with larger and more frequent blood clots. I didn't think too much of the blood clots due to everything my body had been through. I didn't have a period in February and spotted for about a week before I got my period this month. Currently, I am bleeding heavy again and have blood clots that are larger than a quarter. I have a drs appointment later this week but didn't know if anyone has experienced this same thing and was able to eventually have a healthy pregnancy? Or what may be happening with my body? Thanks in advance!

I had a d&c when I was 18 due to a miscarriage. I wished I had gone back to the doctors I never did and think that was due to my age.
I had months of bleeding after then for years after had awfully heavy periods. Sorry I can't help. I was diagnosed with pcos when I eventually saw a doctor and refered . After my daughter was born it went more back to normal weirdly. Sorry I can't help just pleased your seeing a gp good luck.

I had one five years ago - I had it at the end of March and my child was born at the end of the following March, so I had 2-3 months between the ERPC and getting pregnant. The periods were like nothing I've experienced (heavy, painful, black in colour!) and my hormones were all over the place, I was anxious and panicky. It didn't last and I did get pregnant again. At the time it felt like every passing week was an age and like my window for having a baby was closing, but looking back the time was nothing at all and that age gap i had worried so much about doesn't matter at all (3.5 years instead of the 3 I thought they'd have!).

Give your body time and try not to worry too much about how long things take. I'm sorry you're going through this.
