Hello doctor,
I recently went through a medical abortion yesterday. I was two weeks into gestation, the cramping and bleeding started four hours later. I did pass out a few blood clots shortly after the cramps started. My concern is that the bleeding was not heavy at all that today the bleeding stopped. Is this normal? And does this mean that the abortion was successful? Are blood clots an indication that the pregnancy has ended?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Abortion will definitely cause bleeding more than normal periods. Passage of blood clots may just indicate the start of process of abortion and bleeding may continue for 5 to 7 days. It all depends on the quantity of blood clots you passed. If it was indeed excessive abortion might have been complete (which is rare, as bleeding generally lasts for a week or so). Just wait for a week and then you can decide further course of action depending on further bleeding.
