Hello XXXXXXX
thanks for your query.
I would be helped a lot if you provide the details of the D and C that you mentioned - when was it done, for what indication and what were the biopsy results ?
Right now, you should immediately seek the attention of a gynecologist.
There could be many reasons for your abnormal and prolonged bleeding.
A failed pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy could be the reason.
Cervical or endometrial polyp or fibroid or endometrial hyperplasia ( thickening of the lining of the uterus ) is one cause.
Polycystic ovaries, thyroid or adrenal hormone dysfunction, raised prolactin levels - all are potential causes.
Ingestion of hormonal medication or birth control could cause this.
Stress, anxiety, emotional upheavals, hectic travelling, weight changes, surgery, fever, illness - all are contributory.
Please see a gynecologist for thorough evaluation, workup and appropriate treatment.
Take care, and feel free to discuss further.

i have just come off the depo injection about 2 and a half weeks ago and my d and c was about 8 years ago i have had a child 4 years ago natural birth with no complications could this just be coming of injection tho i have been on it b4 and never had a problem just a normal period about 4to 5 days ?
Oh yes, if you had mentioned it earlier, I could have told you this straightaway.
After coming off the Depot, it is absolutely normal to have the kind of bleeding you are having.
it is a hormonal method of birth control, so it would definitely take a few weeks for your body to adjust to its withdrawal.
Just to be on the safer side, please see your healthcare provider and mention this complaint.
