3. Hi
   I had an abortion on 9th November and a slight bleed/ period for a few days which started on 13th November
   My first period came on 18th December and I am still bleeding, the same flow as I usually have on a period so nothing alarming but I never usually have a period last more than 5 days so I am concerned
   Should I be?

   1. Hello Danielle, this irregularity might be as a result of the abortion if it continues then see your doctor.

4. Hi,

   I had a surgical termination on the 7th November 2017 and had minor bleeding after. 2 weeks after this I then was passing clots and heavy period type like loss. 4 weeks after that I had discharge not a period though for 2 days (thinking I was comin on my period) but didn’t, I started the combined pill but realised I wasn’t protected for 7 days so I could of got pregnant but done tests and was all negative. I have just came on my period (1st January) at 7pm at night which is not normal for me and it’s very heavy soaking through pads etc and fresh red blood with the odd small clotting. Cramps also .. feels like I’m going through the abortion now not before !!? Is this normal

   1. Hello Sarah, see your doctor ASAP.

5. Hi,
   I had less than 4 weeks abortion on 25th of October and I started bleeding that next day and the bleeding stopped on 2nd of November and I have not seen my period,please does that mean I am still pregnant urgent answer please?

   1. Hello Roopa, do a pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant.

6. My period always came every month.
   Last menstrual period (lmp) was 26 – 31 of July 2017.

   Had a medical abortion in on 5th of Sept 2017 (6 weeks post lmp).
   Bled for seven days total (small clots were expelled over that time).
   Had a period on the 26th of Oct 2017 (1st period after m. Abortion) which lasted for 6 days (normal period length).
   DID NOT have a menstrual flow in November.
   Had another period on Dec 3rd 2017 (2nd period after m. Abortion) for 6 six days.
   I was expecting my period to start anywhere from the 2nd to the 4th of January 2018, however it is now Jan 6 and still no sign of a menstrual flow.

   My question to you is, what could be happening or what does this all mean?

   Thanks for your response in advance

19. I had an abortion with pills in November . November 16th I took my second pill and almost immediately started bleeding . I bled until the second week in December (almost 5 weeks total) I got a period on December 30th that’s lasted 6 days . My periods are always 6-7 days . It’s now January 28 and I have not received a period . My cycle usually lasts for 28 days and my period is never late . I know that can change since abortion but I’m scared I might be pregnant again . I’m currently 2 days late . Should I be alarmed ?
