Answer
Hi J,

I am sorry not to able to make an "overseas diagnose".
If the bloodloss is little, perhaps you should have patience.
The uterus is a self cleaning organ and sometimes it takes more time
then in other cases.
If you really worry a lot and the bloodloss continues, you Dr could prescribe you some
drugs or hormones. A little spotting or bloodloss won't harm you seriously.
Its up to you.
bests,
Dr Shan
