Should you have any complications or concerns we ask that you call our office immediately. We have a 24-hour answering service that is able to contact the doctor if a complication occurs. Abortion is a very safe procedure that has been performed over the past 25 years. There are very few problems that arise as a result of an abortion. This will vary for everyone.
Some patients bleed for several days, then stop.
Some patients will bleed on or off for 4-6 weeks after the procedure. This is normal and should cause no cause for alarm. However, if you are bleeding enough to soak a pad an hour it will be necessary to contact the office. If you begin using the Pill the Sunday after the abortion, you should expect your period in 4-6 weeks. If you are not on the Pill, you could get your period anytime between 3-7 weeks after your procedure.
