Question
I had a non-surgical abortion last month. I have taken the main pill on 28th Feb and the subsequent pills on 2nd March. This was done because I was diagnosed with Blighted Ovum. LMP was 15 December.  


After this I got normal bleeding for 10 days, I also had clotting on the first day. A few days after the bleeding had stopped; I revisited the Gynecologist and got a Sonography done to check whether the abortion was complete. This result showed that the abortion was complete and nothing was remaining inside the ovary.
Now, I am having my first period which started on 22nd March. I am having very heavy bleeding on this period as well, had slight clotting today. I normally have heavy bleeding during my periods but this is too heavy, far beyond normal.


Is this normal?  Do I need to visit the Gynec once more? Shall I have problems in future because of this?

Answer
Martha,

I would recommend seeing your doctor again. Extended or extensive bleeding can be dangerous and harmful to your health. Please be very careful. I cannot tell you about future problems.  If you have any psychological or emotional problems, please feel free to email me. You can email me for any reason and especially to report to me about your bleeding. I am concerned. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and hope to hear from you soon.
