Abnormal Bleeding?

A month and a half ago I had to have a DC&E after our baby's heartbeat stopped. I was ten weeks along. My OBGYN wrote a prescription for some blood work to be done before we try again to get pregnant. She wants to check my hormones and make sure I'm ovulating because my cycles over the past year were so long (35-55 days). I had to wait until day 21 of my cycle and go to have the blood work done and Monday would have been day 21, but yesterday (day 17), I started bleeding lightly. I had no PM symptoms, a few cramps that alerted me that I might be bleeding and now today, nothing. It was light, lasted one day and that was it. I called the the doctors office, the nurse said that I would have to start all over again with yesterday being day 1 of my cycle. I only bled for one day, so would that even count as a period? Why else would I bleed for one day? Has anyone else gone through something like this? At my check-up after the DC&E, my doc said everything was healed and looked good. Any advice or suggestions?

Hi there,


Unless it was bright red blood, I wouldn't count it as your period.
