Post-Abortion Bleeding & Cramping: What to Expect
QuestionOn monday the 21st took the first pill for my medical abortion. Took 5 pills on Wednesday and 5 more on Thursday. I am just curious as to how long I will be bleeding. My lower pelvic area also feels like its strained.(Feels almost like after you had a hard workout at the gym)Is this normal
AnswerDear Emily,
The protocol you followed in the abortion pill is not one I am familiar with. Typically cramping/discomfort should not last for more than 24 hours after misoprostol, the second medication. I don't feel I have enough information to answer this question.
