Some patients do not bleed at all. We state that any bleeding is considered normal for 6-8 weeks after the abortion unless it is very heavy. If you begin using the Pill the Sunday after your abortion, you should expect your period on the fourth week although it may not resemble your normal period. If you are not on the pill, you could get your period anytime between 3-8 weeks after the abortion. It may take two cycles before your period resumes normally.
Most people feel fine the day following the abortion.
You should monitor your own symptoms. If, after heavy exercise, you experience increased cramping or bleeding, you should rest. Some people believe that abortion should not be legal, and because of freedom of speech, they can picket outside. They cannot stop your car or force you to take literature. Most of the statements they make are not true.
