AnswerHello, hanan,
Having an abortion isn't normal. You should be prepared for unexpected heavy bleeding any time during the next few weeks. The clot may have been your baby. But most likely, you will continue to have intermittent bleeding for awhile. The most important thing is to make sure that you don't bleed too much. If you do, seek medical help. Drink plenty of fluids when you do bleed heavily, especially if you start to feel weak.
Be sure and eat plenty of food with red hot peppers in it for the next few weeks. I think some of your cuisine is naturally spiced with red hot peppers anyway. It should help with the bleeding.
Please don't ever take those pills again. They can kill you. You deserve better than abortion. Please take care of yourself. Keep in touch and let me know how you do. I will be here for you.
