3. Hi.. i had last menstruation cycle on 6th dec 2017.. post this i got pregnant. On 13th jan 2018 i took a medical abortion. This entire process included a tenure of bout one and a half months ie till 22nd feb 2018 where i had spotting because my doc told me that there were some tissues left behind which is why the pills were repeated again in that tenure.

   1. Hello Susan, you might just be bloated. This is normal after an abortion.

8. Thanks for explaining how your period might be delayed for a few weeks after your surgical abortion while your hormones resume regular activities. A great way to know what to expect would be to talk to your doctor before and after the surgical abortion. This could give you the chance to ask questions and ensure you know what to expect with your period and anything else so that you can be prepared.

13. Hi,

    I had an abortion mid January this year, it was performed medically but the first pills didnt work, although i had alot of cramps i didnt bleed so i had to take another set of pills 24hrs later, the next day i started bleeding and the abortion completed within days.. my bleeding continued but was pretty light (pretty much stopped) by the end of the second week & i thought it was great that it was over. I then came on my period around end of Feb start of March which was very clumpy, dark black and brown (sorry about the details) which lasted a week, i then stopped bleeding for a week but started bleeding brown blood again which seems abit blood clotty and this hasn’t stopped since (now been around 3-4weeks).. its not heavy but its everyday.. when will this eventually stop? 🙁 do you think i need to speak to my doctor about this?

    1. Hello T, if this continues heavily for weeks then see your doctor. However this is normal after an abortion.

    1. Hello Pranavi, this is normal after an abortion.

17. Hello. I got pregnant and took the abortion pill in late November 2017. I got my period in December, January, and in February, I bled on and off for almost three weeks. Now it is April and I have not gotten my period since those three weeks in February. I have had sex regularly since then, but I take birth control (migrogestin) and have been very careful about taking it at the same time every single day-11 am. I can’t believe that I would possibly be pregnant again and I am wondering if this could at all be related to hormones from the abortion pill. Thank you!

    1. Hello Maw, once the pills are taken properly you should be fine. If you think you might be pregnant then take a pregnancy test.

18. please I did abortion on the 3rd of March 2018, and up till now I have not seen my normal period for this month and today is 9th of April 2018! what is really happening?
