Really scared
AnswerHello, bella,
It isn't normal to have intensive cramping in the middle of a pregnancy. But the pill abortion causes intensive cramping. Essentially, if it works as people hope, it will cause a woman to go into labor. That's what the cramping is: labor. Bleeding after a pill abortion, for several weeks, is common. Bleeding for five months is not so common. I would say you definitely have a cause for concern. Bleeding continuously like that will eventually weaken a woman, and also depress her immune system so that she can get infectious diseases much more easily. If you have problems with feeling faint, you have definitely lost too much blood. Drink plenty of fluids, and eat dark green vegetables, either raw or lightly cooked.
If the bleeding is like that of a normal menstrual period, I recommend you get some cayenne (a supplement) or eat foods with red hot peppers in them. Either way, you need to go to the doctor. It is possible you have some retained tissue, and the bleeding won't stop until it is removed. There could be other causes. If you had the pill abortion after about 6 weeks from your last menstrual period, this is a distinct possibility.
You need to find a decent doctor. Don't go back to the people involved in your pill abortion. If you need help finding someone, let me know. But you need to go to a doctor who knows abortion is bad medicine, and has experience dealing with complications from abortion. Good luck! Please take care, and let me know what happens. I will pray for you.
