Abortion/Heavy Bleeding

Expert: - 4/27/2009


Question
i Had an abortion on 20Mar, my follow-up check says that things are fine. I continued to have on and off spotting and bleeding. Until 25Apr i started to bleed heavier, which i suspect to be my period. But weirdly, i don bleed much during th night. However, today 27Mar im having very heavy bleeding. Im soaking my pads through. In the morning at 7am i had a fresh pad on. By 10:15 it was soaked thoroughly. I changed but by 1:30pm it was soaked thoroughly again. Im also passing big clots, but i cant determine th size caus they just went in the toilet bowl. What is happening to me? Is this just heavy period or is something wrong inside me? Im very scared!

Answer
You really need to get checked to see if there is a problem. I don't think this should be happening this long after your abortion. Can you go to your regular doctor or not the one who did the abortion?
If you need help with post abortion healing, let me know as I provide free counseling. Write me back at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens, I'm concerned.
