Bleeding and cramps, normal. Sex four days afterwards, no, not normal. You should have been advised not to have sex for 2 weeks afterwards, or until your bleeding had completely stopped - whichever period of time was the longest.

I would suggest you consult the information the clinic gave you as to "when to get in touch with them" regarding symptoms and infection. If you don't have a fever or serious pain, and the bleeding has subsided by now, I think you're fine.

Just abstain from sex until your body has recovered!

Sex after abortion
Bleeding and cramping may last 2-8 weeks, this is normal. Sex 4 days after an abortion was a mistake. You should wait AT LEAST 2 weeks, because the uterus and ovaries are suseptable to infection during this time, since the cervix is still open. It is also very easy to become pregnant after an abortion, so you should be using condoms AND another form of birth control. Because you had more intense bleeding and/or cramps after the sex, you should contact your physician immediately.
