1st period after D&C

Jess • I`m 28, Mama to Elyse Cecelia 8/8/16🎀 RIP angel baby 8/27/15😇
I'm currently 2 weeks post D&C and my HCG levels were 35 on 9/8. My OB said I should have my period within the next week. To those who have had a D&C before, how did you know it was your period and not more old blood from the procedure? Was it a regular flow of blood or was it more like spotting? Just wondering what to expect.

You will definitely know the difference. It's much heavier than your usual period and it comes pretty much right back on schedule a month later. The first week or so I barely bled at all. Then about a week later the bleeding started almost like a light period.. but I could pretty much tell it wasn't my period and was just the last remnants of the procedure. A few weeks later, right on schedule on day 29 post D&C, I got my period. With a vengeance. It came on like no other. So, you will definitely know when it's your period. Just give it a couple of weeks. Good luck to you and I'm very sorry for your loss.
