how long does red/dark blood last?
does it get lighter or just stop?

Mine was 2 weeks, then I had my period last week for 9 bloody days!!!

Mine didn't get lighter it just stopped and turned into CM.

My midwife said it would take 6-8 weeks in some cases.

It differs from person to person I bled for 5 weeks, it would get light then heavy again, remember the more active you become the more you will bleed and it will be red, eventually it will turn pink then brown and fade away. It can take up to 8 weeks to completely finish.

6 weeks for me and then it slowly got lighter and eventually disappeared around 8 weeks

I think it was around 6 weeks for me too. It got gradually lighter until it stopped. Felt like forever though!
