Heavy Bleeding Upon Heavy Lifting After Abortion?
Posted: 05-01-06 16:07pm

I had a medication abortion at almost 8wks initiated on feb 24th. I had a follow up visit later in march that showed all the main parts had aborted successfully, there was some slight shading on the probe ultrasound image but since I was since bleeding lightly they said it was fine. I bled lightly on and off for several weeks. Early april I had some horrible cramps and it felt (what I can best explain) like a football was in me. They lasted for a couple days and then went and I had a normal period afterwards. Bleeding trailed off and stopped in about 10 days (long periods are normal for me). I wasn't worried about nothing. Then yesterday at work after heavy lifting on the morning shift I started to cramp and bleed heavy and passed 2 clots a little smaller than a golf ball. About 2-3hrs after stopping the heavy lifting the bleeding/clotting quit (after the clots quit coming the bleeding quit). Then on the evening shift (i do doubles) after heavy lifting again I started to cramp and bleed heavy. I passed about 4 large clots again. Again, about 2-3hrs after stopping the heavy lifting the bleeding/clotting quit. And the same thing with after the clots quit coming the bleeding quit.

?? Any ideas? I feel perfectly fine. No fever, no discharge, nothing out of the ordinary except for the episodes yesterday. Today I am just bleeding very lightly (just a little on the tissue when I wipe).

Fyi I am 23yrs old and have one child (4yrs) that was born vaginally. No issues except for slight uterine prolapse and a family history of prolapse & hormonal problems occuring at early ages. My mother underwent uterine ablasion (sp?) in early 30's for heavy and long periods and also began to deal with peri-menopause not long after.

Thanks for any input. I am scheduling an appt with my ob/gyn but wanted some opinions/thoughts.

Sounds like you're doing the righ thing, getting checked out and all! I don't know, but i'd assue that an abortion could mess up your period cycle for several months to a year, and since your periods are long anyway... I definately think a check up is in order!

Abortions do mess with your periods, especially medical abortions. It's good to get things checked out but if your follow up went well and you're not having any other symptoms then i'd try not to worry.
I hope the check up goes well
