Question
i had An abortion six weeks ago i was eleven weeks. after my three weeks i had sex three times and everytime i started to bleed for two days or more i just want to know what wrong

Answer
Hello, fg,

An abortion does terrible damage to a woman's body. Some women suffer more damage than others. Whenever a woman bleeds after sex, I suspect a more serious injury than what is common. It should be checked out. Get a doctor to examine you. There is a possibility you are also bleeding internally, which is very dangerous.

If you don't want to have any more abortions, you should stop having sex, unless you are married. There is no reliable way to prevent pregnancy other than abstaining. If you are married, it is better if you either accept the child, or learn how to tell when you are fertile.

If you would like me to tell you other things you will now have to face, let me know.

Please have the doctor check you out, and please let me know what he finds. Take care.

Expertise

I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of eleven. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues. I am not a doctor, but I have done extensive medical research, so I may be able to help with information. I am female. When you write, if you are or were pregnant, please tell me how far along you were or are, and if you have had an abortion, please tell me what kind. Thank you.

Experience

I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.

Education/Credentials
I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.
