Should I be concerned?

I just had a chemical this last cycle, AF showed up on May 16th. Should I be concerned that this AF has been very very light especially after a M/c? With my first chemical I bleed a lottttt and I am usually a heavy bleeder from day one till the end of AF but this just seems weird to me. I started out light, was medium, back to light, had a day where I thought AF was done then it started back in a couple hours still light, yesterday I thought I was done again but I had some good spotting later on in the day not enough to call it a light flow though. I dont know if I should be concerned or not since AF is usually heavy and is suppossed to be heavy after m/c. Please help!
Hmmm... that sounds a little weird. I know this is probably TMI, but did you have some tissue that came out with it? With my chemical it wasn't a very heavy period at all, but I did see some little fleshy parts (like sometimes you see when you are having a heavier period).
I wouldn't be concerned unless you start running a fever or are still having cramps, getting dizzy or nauseous. If you have any of these other symptoms you might want to call your Dr. If you don't still have cramps and don't feel sick at all then I wouldn't worry about it.
If you are concerned still, I would just call your Dr. real quick.
When was the last time you took a pregnancy test? If the bleeding doesn't stop, I'd go to the dr to make sure everything is really gone and your hcg returns to 0.
The bleeding stopped this morning and hasnt came back so thats a good sign! I did have some tissue just not as much as I had with my first one. Just went to take a test think its a BFN which is relief for me because Im concerned that if it is a BFP that it would be an etopic. I havent been sick or anything and I lost all my pg symptoms last weekend.
Sometimes after a m/c your next period is not normal. For some it can be really heavy, others really light. Since your cycle is off from the PG, the first couple can be unusual..but not necesarily! I would still have a doctor do a quick check to make sure everything is clean so that you can be on your way for your BFP this cycle! Hope everything is great and you're on your way to a happy & healthy BFP soon!!!
