Hi Anon,
Thank you for reaching out to EmpowHER with your question! After having a D&C it is very common to experience spotting, light bleeding and cramping. It is very possible that the red and brown spotting is a side effect of your D&C.
If your pregnancy test read negative, that it a good sign that you are probably not pregnant. When you have sex do you use protection or is it unprotected? Whenever you have unprotected sex, your risk of pregnancy is higher.
Since your period is due in 10 days, I would wait those 10 days and keep an eye out for your upcoming period. Record what that menstrual cycle is like, how long it lasts, if spotting occurs, what coloring is like, etc. If you are still concerned after your next period, I would suggest scheduling a follow-up appointment with the doctor who performed the D&C. They will be able to let you know if the spotting is a side effect and how long it will last.
Please keep me updated and let me know if you have any other questions! I hope this helped.
Best,
