Answer
Hello, anna,

Abnormal bleeding, such as you have, is never fine. Whether or not your abortion had anything to do with this, I can't say. What kind of abortion did you have? I will probably be able to tell you more if you can answer that question. Also, did you do any unusual physical activity in the last month? Did you have intercourse in the past two months?

I can think of several possible causes. Please notice that I am not saying any of these are true. These are just possibilities to consider.

1. you had an abortion, and this is what is causing it
2. you got pregnant and implantation took place on the 21st. That might explain the first instance.
3. you got pregnant and you are going to have a miscarriage. That might explain the bleeding since that time.
4. you have cancer, fibroids, or some other kind of abnormality in your uterus
5. you got pregnant, and although you are bleeding, everything is medically fine and the pregnancy will proceed

I don't know which of these things might be the reason, so I do need more information. I still won't be able to give you a definite answer over the internet, and neither will anyone else. The only person who is going to be able to give you a definite answer is a doctor who can examine you and run tests.

Please let me know the answers to my questions, and I'll see if I get any additional ideas. Take care.
