welcome to Health care magic.
Generally post D&C dilation and curettage - one can expect bleed up to 5-7 days as spotting which is normal.
If you think you still having bleed with discomfort.
A check ultrasound scan for RPOC ( retained products of conception ) is recommended.
This will confirmatory about the complete abortion and presence of any uterine and ovarian pathologies.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
