Any doctors, please help!?!?
Question:
I had an abortion exactly 4 months ago in July (I was only 5 weeks along) and took a morning after pill in August (accident).
I was leaking milk in August ( I knew that was normal since I still had the pregnancy hormone) and it went away within a week and now just 2 weeks ago (November) I started leaking again and I have not had a "normal" cycle like I used to. They used to be on time every 4 weeks and would last 5 days, now it's like every 3 weeks for 2 days! I am also experiencing cramping after my periods instead of before, is this normal? Shouldn't I be back to normal by now? If there is anyone who can help me or has any information I will greatly appreciate it.
Answers:
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?
You need to go to a real doctor. I am a midwife and it sounds like you didn't shed all your tissue in July or August. Your body still thinks it is PG. It is struggling to preserve whatever is left, and you could kill yourself by toxins building in your system. PLEASE go to the doctor. It could kill you if you don't.
Although I am not a doctor, what you are experiencing does not sound normal. From what I know and was told, is that it takes 1 to 2 weeks for the pregnancy symptoms to subside. Go see a doctor.
