Is it supposed to be light? I mean I can use 1 regular tampon all day and it not be even remotely full. Is that normal? I had the D&C 5 1/2 weeks ago so maybe it from wear they scraped all my lining out? What do you guys think>

I think I just started my first AF after m/c and for the first two days it was very light but now on day 3 it is heavier. Has your doctor checked your HCG levels to make sure that it is at 0. Is so I'm guessing that this is AF. I think your first AF after the mc can be different that what a normal AF is. I know this one has been different for me.

Ya I had a blood draw like 3 weeks ago and it was negative and back to 0 so I guess this is my period. I mostly have light periods that last around 5 days so maybe this is normal for me? I just think it's weird because I usually don't have them this light but maybe it's because of not having a lot of my usual lining.

Sometimes after a D&C your AF can be extremely heavy and painful or the opposite and light. If you think something may be off though I highly suggest calling your doctor

My first af after my d&c was very light. The next af was heavy and lots of cramps. I agree with Katie if you think something is wrong call your doctor.

My first AF after D&C was very light, but then again I got it like 2wks after the procedure. The next AF was heavy and crampy. And yes, the D&C takes out your complete lining, so this does sound normal.

Ok cool. I was getting a little worried because I kept hearing stories of people who had horrible bleeding and cramping after their D&C and I thought something was wrong. Thanks ladies for helping me out!
