Question
Hey I'm 18 and recently had an abortion. I had sex four days after the abortion, which wasn't very smart of me. But now after I've been seeing brown gooey discharge and little blood clots, and also bleeding a little after sex. Even in the toilet I notice brown gooey blobs. Is this normal for after the abortion? I've also been taking birth control now that the abortion has taken place. I've been using it for a couple days now and the abortion was about two weeks ago now. I've been also cramping a little at night and can't get to sleep so easily.
Answer
Please call the doctor that performed the abortion and be seen immediately!
