Question
Hi Dr.  Diana I wanted to know is it normal to still be bleeding after 5 weeks from a surgical abortion because I was only 6 weeks pregnant and I have not stop bleeding yet.  Once it looks like it going to stop it will come back again I had the procedure Jan 6 and it Feb 12th.  I am worried because this never happened before because I have had an abortion in the past years ago and only bled maybe 2-3 weeks. I do not have any pain and I believe I already had my period the beginning of Feb.

Answer
Hi Kiana,

First of all, I am not a medical doctor. I am an expert in this area by self-study. I have been researching these subjects for many years.

About the bleeding, we have had many similar reports from women having extended bleeding and excessive bleeding. That is one of the reasons that I can't recommend surgical or medical abortion. So please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk some more. Put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line of your email.

Thanks.
