Post-Abortion Bleeding & Cramping at 9 Weeks: What to Expect

Question
Hi, I had an abortion on Feb. 11 of this year and am still spotting/bleeding.  At times it is new blood, bright red and flows like a period and then later that day it will be brown. It usually is enough to fill a light pad but am worried that I still have tissue that was never passed.  I also still get cramping almost daily.  Please let me know if this is normal.  Thank you!

Answer
Retained Products of conception is a possibility and hence get a USG done. This will show any retained tissue within the uterus. If it is present you will need a surgical evacuation by D&C. For more info on D&C visit http://www.pregnancyandchildcare.info/pregnancy_articles/DC.html
