1. I had an abortion with the pills four weeks ago. I passed out two big sac n bleed for just that day. Most of my pregnancy symptoms have reduced but I will have a lot of cramping, I also feel bloated and sometimes it feels as though my breast gets tender again. I have been taking a pregnancy test every single week as I am unable to do a scan and all the test had come back positive. Am really worried and stressed out…please help me!!!

   1. So I guess I want to know if it’s okay to bleed for just a day and pass clots why I still have the cramps, back pain and bloated stomach.
      Thanks

      1. Hello there Lilian, yes it was okay that you passed clots and bled for a day and the symptoms you have currently are asymptomatic of a person who had an abortion. However the tests still returning positive indicate that your HCG level is still high which is what is used to determine pregnancy. Retest in 7 days if test still returns positive then see your doctor.

   3. Hi. I took cyto and mife for abortion last August 12, I bled and 2 clots came out. Still bloated and breasts are tender, but no feeling of nausea anymore. Now I’m still taking methergine, is it okay if i drink coffee or soda? or are there restrictions on what to eat/drink?

      1. Hi there Joy, to avoid any further or worsened symptoms focus more on the consumption of water and natural juices and teas. All the best.

2. Hi i had an abortion 4 days ago. They did an evac. I’m still bleeding. My vagina sometimes feels sore like i been cut by a knife and when I pee its very sore. My stomach is still bloated. Should I be worried?

   1. Hello Meme, this should persist for a while and is pretty synonymous to symptoms other females experience after abortion.

3. Im Sylvia. I did abortion and went for scan after 14days which I was successful but my worry is I am having this on and off light bleeding with mild pains. Its been 3 days after I completed the required 13 days after medabon use and the light bleeding has not stopped. Please what should I do.

   1. Hello Sylvia, this seems to be normal. Females who use this method bleed for varying durations after abortion.

4. Hi I’m Nedilyn, I did abortion with a misoprostol oral and vaginal, after a few hours I had bleeding but not a lot, and my stomach is still hard like a rock and cramping. Am I safe on that or it is still possible that I’m still pregnant??

   1. Hello there Nedilyn, it might take a while for you to fully abort, pregnancy test if taken too soon will show positive.. as HCG levels might still be high in the body.

5. Hi, my name is Rachel. I had a Medical abortion using Cytotec on the 18th and I only got blood clots 2 or 3 and big sac and then was having discharge like at the end of period blood. On Friday 21st, I started bleeding with clots and the next day it reduced. But I am still having stomach cramps and back pains sometimes, it comes strong and go is it fine? And for how long will I bleed? Should I bath putting water in my vagina?

   1. Hi there Rachael, this is normal after an abortion, the time that women bleed varies.

6. Hello, I had an abortion 3 years ago, and I’m still bloated and gassy I have tried almost every thing.

   1. Hi there Surprise, more than likely this is not as a result of your abortion 3 years ago. Try to change your diet and limit your rice and soda intake.

7. hello there im Germa. i had an abortion last june 20, 2017 and its now july 25 but i got a bigger and hard stomach now. i passed some clots before everytime i go to the toilet, and it lasted for 4 days. I wanna ask if i had a continuing pregnancy after my medical abortion.

   1. Hi there Germa, this might be caused by being bloated. All should be fine soon. All the best.

8. Hi I am Mercy, the last time I saw my period was on the 4th of last month June. On the 12 of this month I panicked and went for a D and C. I still felt pregnant so I left for another one on the 16th. I still felt pregnant so I went for scan today 31st and was told I was still pregnant. I will like to know if the fetus will be OK for me to keep, because I saw something in the scan result that got me worried. It states that a huge pedunculated mixed echo mass of size 114x72mm was noted on the fundal wall of the uterus. Please let me know what to do.

   1. Hello Mercy, this is a very serious issue and something you definitely NEED to contact and see your doctor about. All the best.

9. Hi I took an MTP kit and started bleeding on 25th of july and it hasnt stopped till date. I am passing clots and soaking almost 4 to 5 pads a day. Is it normal?

10. Hi, I am Pitsy I had an abortion with misoprostal on the mouth and vagina, I bled immediately for almost two weeks but I feel my stomach is getting big, I am scared. What should I do?

    1. Hi there Pitsy, this might be as a result of bloating post abortion. If you are concerned that you might still be pregnant then take a pregnancy test.

11. Hi I’m Jane I was 5/6 weeks pregnant when I took cytotec orally and vaginally on the 25 July 2017….After few hours I started bleeding light brown blood then I went to pee 1 big clot fell out. ….since then I stopped bleeding after the clot, I’m confused if the abortion had happened or not because I still feel pregnant…..abdominal pain and stomach is bloating.

    1. Hi there Jane, it is normal to feel bloated a while after having an abortion. Abdominal pain is also normal around this time. Test some time later to determine if you are still pregnant.

19. Hi, I’m Mandy. I had an abortion about two weeks ago and after a week I bled for 5 -6 days and now I feel my stomach is getting bigger and harder. And there is this hard stuff I felt before at my lower abdomen though I don’t feel it anymore. Can I still be pregnant or is it normal?

    1. Hello there Mandy, bloatedness is very likely after an abortion. This should end in a couple of days to weeks.

20. I had an abortion in August and I still haven’t seen my period. is that normal? mine was done surgically. I have been experiencing bloating from ever since too.

    1. Hi there Amanda, your period should return within 3-6 weeks, some women have to wait until up to a month.
