Abortion/Period

Question
Hi Dr Shan,

Maybe I'm just confused on how my body react to those hormones. yesterday, I just got my period, maybe it is..? it's heavier than usual and cramping, like the cramps i've experience after the procedure.

they are normal right?

thank you again :)

Answer
Hi Shane, again,

Yes. The first period after an abortion is often a bit heavier, as old rests are removed also.
The uterus is cleaning itself.
Natured does a good job.
Next period is less heavy and more normal.
No worry.
Take care and use contraceptives when you do not want a baby.
"Safe days" are not always safe  (;-| )
