I had a medical abortion on 5/11/2008 and had a normal heavy period directly following the abortion. After 5/17 the bleeding stopped... I thought everything went as planned, but now today, 5/26 I have started bleeding again, I am not sure if it is just spotting, or irregular bleeding. I didnt think spotting was a side effect, but I am concerned about cancer. I am 23 years old. What do you think?
What makes you concerned about cancer???
at any rate bleeding and spotting are all normal after an abortion. You usually will bleed directly after (this isn't your period this is normal "after pregnancy bleeding" )and you might just be starting your period now. either way unless it gets insanely heavy or comes with fever or severe severe cramps you shouldn't worry yourself.
Theres definately nothing that you said would make me think cancer, or anything out of the ordinary.
Hope this helps
