heavy bleeding after surgical abortion Posted: 05-16-08 08:01am
My girlfriend had a surgical abortion on
March 5 of 2008. She was active immediatly
after, like nothing ever happened. We
haven't been intimate much at all
afterwards. But, she is constantly
bleeding even now. When we have
intercourse she gushes blood. Not brown
discharge like blood but, like when you
cut yourself. The bleeding stops as long
as she doesn't move but, if she tries to
walk it pours. She has recently got on the
depo shot but, the bleeding happened even
before this. The date today is May 16th,
that's over two months after the abortion
and the heavy bleeding accured this
morning after intercourse. If it helps she
is 22 years old on effexor for depression.
No other illnesses and has a 18 month old
that was born with no complications
vaginally and naturally.

She really needs to see her doctor; any
unexplained bleeding like this must be
checked out.

It CAN be from DEPO, most certainly.
Post abortion bleeding is normal, but then
to ADD depo can cause some womens cycle to
become abnormal.
Definitely see a doc, but it is not
necessarily from the abortion.
