Question
I had a abortion on August 26th at 8 weeks. Since then I have not stopped spotting at all. Last thursday I went to the bathroom and blood was draining out of me. It was dripping down my leg and there was blood clots. It only happend for about 15 minutes then went back to spotting. The spotting has been brown and red ever since the abortion. After the incident the incident on thursday the spotting is a bit less but still there. could this be retained tissue?

Answer
Tiff, I am so sorry. I was sick and got way behind on my emails and questions. I hope you have gotten medical help by now. This could be a dangerous situation. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know what has happened. I am concerned about you so I hope you will let me hear from you soon. I can't tell you if it is retained tissue over the internet. Please seek medical advice and help if you still have problems.
