Post-Abortion Period Irregularities: What to Expect & When to Worry
QuestionI had an aspiration procedure on 2/25 and started my birth control the day after. As of yesterday, I am on the non hormonal week therefore should be getting my period. I've had sex twice unprotected. Should I be worried or is this normal? Should I be expecting my period sometime this week? I had been spotting everyday since the abortion and it comes and goes. When should I start being concerned?
Please help.
AnswerIt takes 4-6 weeks for the period to come. You may have bleeding at 6 weeks. Ignore that and continue taking the pill as directed. If you have been bleeding longer than 2 weeks, call the doctor. They may have you come in for an ultrasound. We have our patients come in if bleeding goes past 2 weeks.
