Question
Hi,
I had Mifegest kit on 11th December 2010 and the bleeding started on 13th December 2010. Initially it was in form of big clots (size of a peach) but later reduced to less flow which was brown in color, similar to the flow I have on 4th day of my regular period. My concern is that my period hasnt stopped till then and I am having the brown discharge since then.
Yesterday the flow increased and I am now having discharge which is red and also contains white tissue particles. Has my placenta wall reformed (considering that the flow never stopped) so that I am now having my regular period post abortion?
I didnt have any syptoms of fever, dizziness or cramping. Please suggest whether this is normal?
Dear Shini,
Please watch what happens with yourself. We have been receiving many reports of women in India and some other places who bleed for a long time or bleed a lot. This can be very dangerous. Some women have bled to death because they didn't get a checkup. Can you go get a post abortion checkup? So let me know what happens and perhaps I can further advise you. Will you email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more and stay in touch? Please put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line of your email.
