I'm going back in for a 2 week check-up with my gyno next Friday, but I'm just looking for more information in the meantime.

I had a medical abortion on Dec 28th, but with continued bleeding and heavy cramping for more than 2 weeks (the cramping was really concerning me) I decided to go see my gyno on Jan 15th.

On Jan 16th I had a D&C because of well-defined tissue still in my uterus. The cramps were instantly gone and the bleeding was light for the next few days.

My concern is the color and consistency of the "bleeding" now. Both several days after the medical as well as now (after the D&C) I feel like I'm having more of a discharge than bleeding. It's more of a light orange color and really is the consistency of what a thin yougart would be. It is not heavy, but it has been consistent. I probably change a pantyliner three times a day. When I go to the bathroom I sometimes still see bits and pieces of what look like tissue but they are the same color as this discharge, not red like the initial tissue I saw.

I started birth control for the first time about two and a half weeks ago and I'm wondering if any of this could be side effects from the new hormones?

As I said, I'll be going back to my gyno is just over a week and I'll definitely be asking her, but if these symptoms are similar to any other woman I'd love to know.
