period after d&c

Ra
I got my first period after my d&c (4 weeks post d&c). It was extremely painful and heavy as expected. It tapered off after 5 days. Now two days later, it's back to heavy and lots of blood clots. Did anyone else have a period this long? I've been bleeding for a total of 9 days (of those 5 very very heavy soaking pad every 2 hrs). I know don't worry unless I soak a pad an hour, but I am starting to worry 😞
