"they said that because she is bleeding still the u/s will sound up blood clot which they can't differentiate from placenta, then they would be obliged to do a D&C. What are your comments and opinions?" I don't know that this is true about not being able to differentiate bewteen blood clots & placental tissue, but it raises questions: even if true, why would there be a sizable blood clot present at 12 days pp? And, blood clot or placental fragments either one, wouldn't a D&C be appropriate if she is still having significant bright red bleeding w/small clots @ 12 days pp? Or, OTOH, maybe improving the latch significantly will quickly assist uterine involution and bring about an end to the bright red bleeding - get the uterus clamping down & quickly expelling any clot/RPOC. I would think that if that's the case you'd see results very quickly....Hmm, let us know.
