Answer
Dear Becky,
The bleeding you are describing sounds completely normal.  Bleeding usually stops within a week of a procedure.  After that it can stop and go.  It can either be continued bleeding, or spotting as you describe.  There is defintiely nothing to be worried about. Your period will come back to be normal in the next month or two.
