You never know if it could be normal or not.. Have you gone back for your re check yet??? If not you could always put your mind to rest by doing so....

I'm taking a shot at a guess and saying it's normal. You just had an abortion.

You can expect bleeding to continue for a few weeks after an abortion, so yes it is normal.
**** the more active you are after your abortion, the more you will bleed.
**** taking birth control pills, combination pills to be exact, will help to stop bleeding faster.

I am not a Dr., we are all different if ever you are in doubt of anything you should call and talk to the Dr., or his assistant, do not be afraid to ask them anything. It generally does take a while to get yourself back in shape after having an abortion.
The best to you!

many women spot or even bleed as much as their normal periods for a couple of weeks after the abortion. From what I have heard, it is normal. However, if any other sympotms appear, or if you are simply unsure, you can always go get yourself checked out, and then you don't have to worry anymore :)

I am having an abortion on friday. I am very early in my pregnancy. I am not sure I am. I am going to go and test at the clinic and if I am, I am going to terminate.
Question?
Is it safe? Will it affect future fertility?

no one really knows that answer.. It shouldnt but in some rare cases there has been some cases where they can not have children because of something that happened during the procedure.. Im sure that you will be okay.. Good luck to you ..

I am very afraid. I am so terrified. I have no one to talk to about this. If I am I just want to get it over with as quickly as possible.

There is very little likelihood of an abortion, particularly early in a pregnancy, of having any effect on future fertility.
I'm very sorry that you haven't got anyone who can be with you right now. It must be very difficult for you, and it would help just to have someone give you a hug, wouldn't it? It's a tough thing to have to go through alone.
Try to stay calm, and remember that everything we can get through in life makes us stronger.
Good luck.
