After you had the abortion, did you start an oral contraceptive that may be causing these symptoms?  I think if there was tissue still in your uterus, you would be bleeding more heavilly & for a longer amount of time; the cramping would also be getting worse.  Have you seen a doctor since the abortion?

Yes.  It is similar to childbirth.  I bled for a month after childbirth, only to get my period two weeks later.  If it is still heavy and full of clots it may be cause for concern.  I would talk to your midwife/obgyn.  At the very least it will make you feel better.  And I am terribly sorry for your loss!

when i done that after i had had my period i miscarried.\n\nMy syptoms were:\n*Tiredness\n*pain in my back\n*Pain in my stomach\n*Bleeding (red to brown)\n\nI had just gotten off my period and 4 days later started to bleed again. After 6 days of the above symptoms i went to the ER where i found out i was pregnant but sadly i miscarried.\n\n\nTake a pregnancy test go to http://www.peeonastick.com and there it tells you all about pregnancy tests.\n\nThere are a few possiblities. However, without knowing your age or medical history it is a little hard to focus on the more likely ones. That being said, I would first wonder if you are actually having periods, meaning a normal shedding of the endometrial lining 13 days, +/- 4 days after ovulation. The flow should be crescendo-decrescendo or crescendo. This means the flow starts light, goes to heavy then to light. Or it can start heavy and go to light. The flow length should be < 8 days.\n\nWhat you may see as a period getting closer together is actually irregular endometrial shedding because of no ovulation. The lining of the uterus keeps building up from estrogen, but without a buildup and drop off of progesterone, the endometrium never completely sheds. Many women will do this thinking their periods are 3 weeks apart. This usually occurs with anovulatory cycles.\n\nThe clotting and brown coloration are typical of the anovulatory cycles. The brown color means old blood. The clots are irregular shedding endometrium. \n\nThe causes of this situation? I would first think of thyroid dysfunction, ovarian failure secondary to upcoming menopause, and ovarian dysfunction (luteal dysfunction) where the progesterone is not adequately produced. One must also consider infection, fibroids, and especially endometriosis which is associated with luteal dysfunction. I would expect other symptoms though.\n\nOf course, make an appointment with your doctor. Until then, accurately chart days you bleed. If possible, find a certified natural family planning instructor to help you learn how to chart. There is a wealth of information from these charts. Most doctors have not seen them but can get basic information from them verifying your situation of irregular bleeding. You can educate your doctor about charting. It really does help!\n\n\nThe brown discharge may merely be "old blood" from the uterus that is being pushed out by the growing fetus. It is usually insignificant and, as long as fetus is growing and there is no heavy vaginal bleeding it usually does not become a miscarriage. The brownish bleeding may also be due to a "subchorionic bleed" which is a sequestration of some blood within the folds of the developing placenta. This, too, does not lead to miscarriage. I would suggest taking serial sonograms to assess fetal growth and to determine the position of the placenta and the presence of any other bleeding. If the sonogram is fine and you continue to hear a fetal heartbeat on doppler, you should be fine. A brown dischrage can also be a sign of a vaginal infection, which, of course, can be treated if a culture grows any bacteria. Don't worry for now. \n\n   It sounds as though you are having anovulatory bleeding.  Menstrual cycles, when a woman is not having regular ovulation tends to be irregular with spotting and breakthrough bleeding and some cramping and bleeding.\n\n \n\n            If you need contraception, combined birth control pills could make your periods more regular, lead to less spotting or breakthrough bleeding and lead to less cramps and pain\n\n\ngood luck

You should really go see a doctor or go to the er because it sounds like you might of had a miscarriage.

I didn't bleed, it was just a little uncomfortable. It's normal to bleed, though, and I'd say that your amount of bleeding is normal, too, as long as it stopped after a few days. Don't worry.

Hi there,\nSounds more like you had a stomach bug than a miscarriage but you should definitely call your doctor so they can do a sonogram and check the baby's heartbeat.  Not all miscarriages cause bleeding and not all bleeding means a miscarriage.  \nA fever in the first trimester is generally not a great think for the baby so I would check with your doctor ASAP - but chances are it was just a stomach bug.  Please follow up and let me know. \nGood luck.

yes, if not all the uterine contents were expelled.  Did you have a D&C after miscarriage?

Many women  have miscarriages sometimes more then one and can go on having a nice size family. When you are trying too hard to get pregnant you will become stress out! Your body is trying to recover from your first lost and they say this \ntakes 3 to 6 months until your body can try again safely.\nKeep in touch with your Doctor.

A period is the shedding of the wall of the utereus. If a woman was pregnant and her uterine wall shed, she would have a miscarriage. \n\nThere was a friend in high school who found out she was pregnant and then a few days later she miscarried. She said there was a " really really big" clump of blood.\n\nAlso when my sister miscarried, her bleeding was very painful.

I switched not tooo long ago and my doctor told me that the spotting should go away within the first three months. If it hasn't and it bothers you, you should probably go back to your doctor to find something that fits your life better.

Question is not clear. Did u have a D&C procedure? If yes,there will only be period like bleeding but it may last for 2 weeks. If you did not have a D&C, then there is no time limit and you may bleed heavier as days pass by and there will be clots and the color of the bleeding might be dark gray.When I had a miscarriage my doc suggested that I have a D&C since otherwise u can never be sure if the uterus is thoroughly cleaned and that some people've bled for months without D&C.

It is not uncommon for some patients to experience light vaginal bleeding and cramping for a few hours after the procedure. Patients who experience heavy bleeding, fever greater than 101°F, foul smelling vaginal discharge, chills or severe and persistent abdominal pain are advised to call the office. It is common to have spotting for one to two days after the procedure as the result of placement of the tenaculum onto the cervix, and not from intrauterine bleeding. http://haveababy.com/baby/hystero.asp...\n\nAND:\n\nIt is normal to have a small amount of vaginal bleeding for a day or so after a hysteroscopy. You also may have some mild abdominal discomfort from the gas that was inserted during the procedure. This discomfort should go away within 24 hours after the procedure. You can take acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) to relieve the discomfort. \n\nCall your doctor if you have:\n\nHeavy vaginal bleeding or discharge. \nFever. \nSevere abdominal or pelvic pain or cramping. \nProblems urinating. \nShortness of breath. \nVomiting. \nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/chronic_pelvic_p...\n\nSo, if you have not called your doctor yet, please do! The doctor's office is there to provide care to you, so take advantage of it!

I had a similar experience last year.I would be bleeding very lightly for 6 weeks straight until I made an appointment to see a Gynecologist.After the initial visit and numerous test,I was diagnosed with PC OS. Your best bet is get checked.It could be anything from hormonal imbalance, cysts,stress,weight gain or loss or yet pregnancy.

It can happen at any time during the pregnancy, although it is more likely to happen during the first trimester. I have had two miscarriages and one healthy baby (my miracle baby) the first miscarriage I was about 5 months along and the second I was only a few weeks along. I really hope that nothing like that happens, if you have any bleeding whatsoever call your doctor immediately. There is no greater pain than the loss of a child.

During the six week period, your body is trying to recover from a major transition. So then your vaginally bleeding during this time(come on, we're all grownups) because your body is throwing out all of the toxins that was kept in for nine months, since your body was so use to menstruating every 28 days. Not only that, when the baby is coming out of the birth canal, there could of been some tearing because the baby is like a size of a bowling ball, so it's best that you restrain yourself from trying to get an infection or from getting a hemorrhage!
