Hello, Coco,

Heavy bleeding worries me. It needs to be checked out. You could have been injured by the abortion, beyond what would normally be expected (all abortions injure a woman, but some actually cause perforation of the uterus or other internal organs, or cause severe damage to the cervix). The fact you are having pain also is a warning. Also, abortion disrupts a woman's hormones. In either case, this is obviously not acceptable. To try and control the bleeding, try taking some cayenne (as a supplement) or eating food with red hot peppers on a regular basis until the bleeding stops. Go see a doctor, and get him to check you out. Don't go back to the people who did your abortions. They can't be trusted.

You have indicated you are depressed. Is it because of the bleeding, or because you had an abortion? Let me know. Please take care of yourself, and let me know what the doctor says, and how things go.
