Question
i just recently had a 6 week abortion and I'm not sure if its
gone. I'm still bleeding but not as much as i was bleeding
while taking the medicine. i couldn't even fill one pad a day.
my breasts still feel pain and I still feel a little crapping.
what should i do? is this usual?
Hi Mari,
a six week pregnancy is very small and the abortion does not cause much bloodloss.
Unfortunately the pregtest stays positive for 3 weeks after the abortion.
But you will know when the pregnancy symptoms disappear slowly.
You can do nothing but be patient.
Bests,
Dr Shan.
