Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER and and thank you for coming to us with your concern.

It is safe to say that you are not pregnant because you have had intermittent spotting followed by two days of heavy flow.

Post D & C, did your gynecologist give you specific instructions, such as how long to wait before having intercourse? Have you had a post procedure follow up appointment?

Why was the D & C done?

A dilation and curettage procedure, also called a D&C, is a surgical procedure in which the cervix (lower, narrow part of the uterus) is dilated (expanded) so that the uterine lining (endometrium) can be scraped with a curette (spoon-shaped instrument) to remove abnormal tissues.

A D&C may be used as a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure for abnormal bleeding. A D&C may be performed to determine the cause of abnormal or excessive uterine bleeding, to detect cancer, or as part of infertility (inability to become pregnant) investigation.

Anonymous, please speak with your gynecologist, who knows your medical history and why you are having spotting following intercourse.

Regards,
Maryann
