I was 7 weeks pregnant when I took a pill to end my pregnancy. I bled heavily for the first two days and that gradually slowed before stopping. Two weeks after the termination my partner and I had protected sex and since then (1 week ago) I have bled every day. It is very red blood which I presume is fresh blood, it's certainly not heavy (1 pad a day if I weren't to change it) but it is continuous and shows no signs of stopping. I went for my check up after the termination and they said everything was fine and the scan showed my uterus was 'clean'. Should I be concerned and is there any hope of this bleeding ending? What can I do? Thank you x

Hi worriedgal,
I decided to share my story so you could compare it to yours and see it's not very unusual to bleed weeks after the abortion.
I took my medical abortion pills (at about 5 weeks after the 1st day of my last period or about 3 weeks after my day of ovulation), on 1st of July. The whole night after inserting misoprostol at 11pm, I had the expected severe cramps, fever, chills, nausea, pain and all of the symptoms associated with the abortion pill. I felt better 7-8 hours later and almost ok by the end of next day. I had heavy bleeding for the next week with some tissue clots coming out. I'm sure I've aborted, since I can't imaging I would not having passed so much blood and tissue. By July 6 I felt like the bleeding was almost ending, so I used a thin pantyliner instead of a pad. By the end of the day bleeding become more intense and it's been on till today July 21 (3 weeks from the day I took Mifepristone on the 29th of June and Misoprostol 36 hours later) . In the past two weeks it was more intense or less intense, but still keeps going, especially in the evenings. I also had cramps one night about two weeks after taking the pills. I don't have cramps during my periods, so I it was unusual. Seems like I'm having a new wave of bleeding 2 - 2.5 weeks after the abortion. Alongside bleeding, I'm still passing some clots, although smaller than in the first few days after taking the pills. I also don't feel my best: no major issues: just overall weakness and tiredness. I think, it should be expected just 3 weeks after abortion. Still it feels crazy at times to be bleeding for so long. I haven't done my post-abortion check yet: have been procrastinating hoping for it to end on its own, as I really disliked my doctor (well, it was a creepy cheap clinic), so didn't want to see him again. I promise myself to go see him or some other doctor tomorrow. I haven't had sex since a month ago (before abortion), so I don't think your intercourse have been a factor in your renewed bleeding. Go to see a doctor, I'm going to do the same.
Write me an update in how you're feeling now.
Cheers,

Just thought i share my story
I went in for a medical abortion 3 weeks ago. I was 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I took the first Pill in the doctors offices then took the other pills the next day as instructed. About an hour or 2 later i started feeling cramps for about 7 hours with golf ball blood clots then it went to a normal bleeding. As my two werk check up was coming up my bleeding got lighter and everything seemed it was going as planned i went to the check up and they did a ultrasound. the medical assistant had the ultrasound device inside me she keep moving back and forth as if something was wrong she had it in there for a long time and she started to hurt me. So i ask "is everything ok?" and she said "well i just cant seem to get a clear enough picture to show the doctor." She took about four ultrasound pictures and went to show the doctor. The medical assistsnt came back in and said "the doctor said every thing look good and my uterus was clear the doctor would be in in a couple of mins." So when the doctor came in she asked me if i was still bleeding if so how much. I told her spotting and everything felt fine so i left the doctor's feeling like ok couple more days and itll all be over. Nope was i wrong so within the next couple of day i started to notice a really bad smell coming from down there. i was like ok the end of it its justs the lil bit thats needs to get out but, a whole week went by and still i had that really fishy smell and the color of blood went from redish to brown. I started searching up online what it could be, found sites saying possible infection. Now its been 3 weeks and one day and now the smell has went away but i am still bleeding. But the bleeding has gotten really heavy i took a shower put on a fresh new super plus size tampon and with in the hour i was bleeding out all over my pants. It worried me a bit and i put on a pad and i am waiting right now to see if this maxi pad get soaked within the hour . i dont know if its my period coming or if something is wrong the blood is no longer nasty smelly or brown it went back to a bright red and im having golf ballsize clots again. Im still a little worried i dont know what to do i dont want to go to just any hospital im hoping if i get the next soaked maxi pad i can wait till the doctor i went to in the first place can see me right away. This is my second pill abortion i had the first one oct 2016 everthing went the same untill the smell and more bleeding but with the first abortion i had bleed clots as big sd a baseball but i think evrything was ok cuz a year after my first abortion i had a baby and everything was good. Thought i shared see if anyine had any answers or if

I had an abortion last month and got my period as expected, but have been bleeding for 3 weeks now. Is this normal?

I recently had a trimester 2 termination as I was 16 weeks and I bled after it was done, but not the next day at all?! Should I be concerned, or is this normal?
