QuestionI had bleeding on the day of my abortion, no bleeding for 4 days after, but it's 5 days now and I'm suddenly getting new blood. I started the pill for the first time two days ago - is this normal, or should I be going to see a doctor?
AnswerHi, Sarah,
First of all, it makes no sense to talk about what's normal after an abortion, because abortion isn't normal. A lot depends on what kind of abortion you had, and how heavy the bleeding is. Are you doing anything to stimulate your uterus, such as having sex? Are you cramping at all? Usually the pill helps control bleeding, but after an abortion, especially a pill abortion, it's hard to say what effect it might have on a particular woman. If you are concerned, please do see a doctor. Go to someone else, not the person who gave you the abortion. If your bleeding is heavy, this can be dangerous, so if that is the case, please see a doctor immediately.
Let me know what you find out, and please take care of yourself!
