bleeding for more than 2 weeks Posted: 06-20-08 16:18pm
Hi, I had medical abortion on June 9th.
On my follow-up visit on June 16th, the
Doctor told me I had passed the pregnancy
but ultrasound showed there were still
some fluid(blood) in my uterus. She said I
am Ok.
But I've been spotting( the amount of
discharge is between spotting and bleeding
) for almost 2 weeks and I have read some
articles on this forum, it seems more than
2 weeks spotting is not normal.
My question is that do I need another
follow-up or I just wait for another week
or two? By any chance I might need a
surgery?
Thanks! I am really concerned.

You ARE normal...
I work in abortion.
Surgical abortion is better than medical
abortion because the bleeding after
surgical abortion is NOTHING....
The bleeding after medical abortion lasts
from 9-21 days.
SPOTTING is normal, and you may spot until
your period. This is the problem with
medical abortion, there is going to be
lengthy bleeding, but if it is NOT heavy
then you are okay.

Thanks! That relieves me a lot!
Shall I schedule an appointment if I don't
get period in the following month?

Not necessarily...
It can take 6-8 weeks after an abortion to
get a period, because your body has to
figure things out again. It has to get in
synch with it's hormones...
Give it some time...
Also, physical activity is DIRECTLY
related to abortion bleeding. The more
active you are, the more you will likely
bleed.

I stopped bleeding and spotting 12 days
after the abortion pill.
But I started to have very light pink
thick discharges. Is it normal ?
