Questioni had this abortion last february 15, 2010 at 3 months AOG (age of gestation). i think it was successful. 2 weeks after, i had sex, slipped my mind using any protections. my partner only used withdrawal. now, 4 weeks later, i had this brown scant vaginal discharge this morning. im not sure if this is just the start of my menstruation because it was said that brown discharges for about 6 weeks from the day of abortion is part of the abortion process itself. im also worried if that brown discharge is an implantation bleeding. thanks.
AnswerHello, para,
If I'm following your timetable correctly, you wouldn't be getting implantation bleeding today. It would have happened earlier. See if you get heavier flow. If you do, it's not implantation bleeding. And like you said, it could be left from your abortion.
If you don't want to face the decision about abortion again, you should stop having sex. It's not good for you. Abortion is dangerous. You waited a long time for the previous abortion, and this makes it more dangerous. You may think you weren't injured, but there are at least two things you still face. First, your abortion can cause birth defects in your future children. You may have to have a doctor fasten your cervix shut to prevent very early birth or even miscarriage. Second, you are now much more at risk for breast cancer. It can strike while you are still young (in your 30's), and 1/4 of the women who get this type of breast cancer die from it.
Pregnancy isn't the only danger from sex outside of marriage. If your partner has ever had sex with anyone else, even if he hasn't told you about it, you could get a nasty, even a deadly disease. It's not worth it. Don't depend on "protection". It doesn't work. Withdrawal doesn't work, either. Your partner owes it to you not to take advantage of you. And there are other ways you can experience pleasure. A moderate workout will do the same thing for you. Also, if your partner enters your body anyplace else, that can also cause disease. You really deserve better.
There are other ways to express affection, other than sex. It can be a time to explore this.
If you are pregnant, please don't have another abortion. The more abortions you have, the more damage your body will suffer. Abortion can even kill you. If you are having any problems that make abortion seem attractive, I may be able to help you find the necessary resources. They are available.
Please stay safe, and keep in touch.
