What are normal symptoms after abortion?
Well I'm 17 and had an abortion on October 23rd this year(10 days) ago. I've been bleeding since the surgery(I had a D&C) and I'm not sure what's going on. Im bleeding very light brown and then heavy red, then nothing at all then it starts again.
This morning I noticed a blood clot about the size of a 1 dollar coin(about the size of a grape). I called the clinic where I had the surgery and they told me it's normal but they also told me the day of the surgery that the bleeding is expected to stop by 10 days after surgery but I'm still bleeding and it doesn't look like its going to stop any time soon.
I got anti-biotics that day but they told me not to worry about taking any unless I was experiencing severe cramping, but I don't/didnt have any, but this morning I started having lower back pain. What's going on?
Should I call the doctor or the clinic? I don't want to annoy the clinic all the time about things that could be normal symptoms. Does anyone know what's going on?

I wouldn't worry about you bleeding for an extra day, they were letting you know that it's about 10 days on average, everyone is different. If you start getting clots of blood that are extremely big then you should definitely call the clinic and let them know.

Well honey it would not matter how many times you call the clinic, you should not worry about annoying them. They are a clinic and you have a right to call and ask as many questions as you please, after all they are the experts.
My advice is when you do call the clinic, try to ask for your doctor first before explaining any of your symptoms to anyone. Honestly this could be something serious, i suggest you consult your doctor or go to the emergency room.
I am sorry that this happened to you and I hope that you feel better and get the answers that you are looking for. My prayers are definately with you. Feel better. Hope that this helps!!!!!!
