Hello, isha,
What was the reason you had a D&C to begin with? Does the person who did the D&C also do abortions? This may not seem important, but it could have a bearing on what you are experiencing.
Intercourse often causes bleeding to increase, both because it stimulates hormones, and because of the physical movement, especially when there has been an injury. That's what I'm wondering about. The other possibility is that you had a medical abnormality, and it hasn't been resolved.
If you went to a person who does abortions, please find another doctor (one who doesn't believe in abortion) and get yourself checked out. The reason I am saying this is because people who do abortions tend to be careless. Most doctors know abortion is unethical. A lot of people who do abortions really hate what they are doing. Some of them think a woman who seeks an abortion deserves to be hurt.
I won't be able to tell you much more until you answer my questions. So please let me know. Take care.

Expertise
I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of eleven. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues. I am not a doctor, but I have done extensive medical research, so I may be able to help with information. I am female. When you write, if you are or were pregnant, please tell me how far along you were or are, and if you have had an abortion, please tell me what kind. Thank you.
Experience
I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.
Education/Credentials
I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.
