Question
I had an abortion about a yr ago and everything was fine but i noticed a couple weeks ago while having sex with my boyfriend that i start to bleed not really heavy but i do bleed...could this have to do with the abortion i had a yr ago

Answer
Hi Jessica,
I'm not a medical doctor so I do advise you to check with your personal physician. Are you taking birth control pills?
If you are, that could be a side effect with bleeding. I'm not sure if it could be from an abortion that long ago. Not to be too prying into your personal life, but is your boyfriend being rough with sex?  Please let me know anything else that might be able to help me advise you. You could ask a followup question or email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
