Are These Symptoms Ok???
Posted: 07-28-06 15:58pm

I had an abortion nearly three weeks ago and experienced little bleeding after for a few days. Then it stopped and came back two days later again for just a couple of days..For a week I had no bleeding and everything was fine. I contacted a doctor asking if I can resume my sexual activity he said that I can within 1-2 weeks after abortion. The next day after having sexual intercourse I started bleeding again this tie heavier than in the beginning..Is this normal or is something wrong with such situation? Can I go for doctor's examination or should I wait until the bleeding stops?

Sex causes your uterus to contarct a bit when you orgasm, so yes may women do bleed more after sex.

This also happens during a regular period as well, women notice that they bleed more after sex.

It's been only around 3 weeks after abortion isn't it a little early for period to come?

No, a woman can expect a period between 3-8 weeks after an abortion. It dpends on her natural cycle length, and if she is on birth control.

I had a sexual intercourse 2,5 weeks after abortion and started bleeding after that. It stopped after few days and it was not a period, I think it was remainder of abortion. Then I decided better not to have sexual intercourse until 4 weeks after because it is recommended due to higher risk of infection. I got my first period 5 weeks after abortion and everything seems to be ok by now.
