Now i want to know is there any problem with me...or what should i do now or is it normal..please help me...m in lot of tension.
Dear Kajal,
The ble3ding you are describing is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Usually bleeding is not regular or like a period for the first 2 months after taking the abortion pill. The bleeding can stop and start, or it can continue for weeks. Don't worry, your periods will go back to normal eventually.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
