What Causes Heavier And Longer Periods After Miscarriage?

Hi, I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks last April, and had 2 D&C procedures done because the 1st one still left some tissues inside. The whole pregnancy I was bleeding and after the 2nd D&C I ve bleed for about more than 4 weeks. I was still bleeding when my period comes back. And after the bleeding stops, I have heavier and longer periods and it came every 2 weeks. All blood test comes back normal, I don t even have anemia. But I really feel something is not right with my body, just can t pin point on what it is. What should I do? Is this just my feeling or I actually need to have a complete check up?

Hi
Irregular cycle is common after miscarriage but no for such a long time ,may because you have undergone d&c twice there would have hormonal imbalance so ,I think it will be rectified in the next cycle ,check for thyroid problems and you may need a scan , as you are not anemic need not worry ,wait for the next cycle
