Question
I was about 5 weeks pregnant and I had the Medical Abortion
on the 19th and The bleeding seems to be very light and then
it gets heavy. After I took the second pill I had a very
heavy bleeding and i had the abortion bc of the little
pieces that came out. I felt everything was out and I would
stop bleeding within few days because I wasn't long
pregnant. How long will it last?
When can I start going back to my normal cycle?
Is there a time limit to pass before having sex again?
Thank you
Hi Nadine,
How are you doing since you posted your question? I would be concerned if you are still bleeding. Please check with your doctor, perhaps your regular doctor not the person who performed the abortion. Did they tell you when to come back for a post abortion checkup? They also should have advised you on when you can have sex again.
However, if you don't want to have a baby, I would advise you not to keep having sex. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk in more detail.
Bleeding can be dangerous so please don't take chances with your health and life. We have been receiving many reports of excessive and extended bleeding after abortion.
Please let me know how you are doing.
