AnswerDear Ashlee,
This is one of the reasons that I am no advocate of the abortion pill. A curettage takes 6 minutes and the bleeding is minimal.
But that knowledge does not help you much.
I advise you to see a OBGYN doc who can do an ultrasound exam to see what's in your uterus. I think there is some bigish bloodclot that cannot come out.
This causes the long bleeding. A curettage is the solution for this problem.
The pain you have is also explained herewith.
The long bleeding might could cause coagulation disorders, so extra care is needed.
Do not wait; you will not die from this, but you have to take action.
Bests,
Dr Shan
