After Abortion

Hi, I had a medical abortion about 4 weeks
ago. I went to my 2 week check up and
the doctor said everything was clear.
That day she put me on the pill and for
about the last week I have been having
some pains in my lower abdomen. Has this
happened to anyone else? Does any one
know if it is the pill or the abortion or
both? I talked to a friend and she said
it could be the uterus shrinking back to
normal, does it take that long?

Could be either one. I had an abortion
about 3 weeks ago. I took emergency
contraception and got a lighter period.
The cramping pain should be inverstigated
by a doctor. You should see a doctor to
be on the safe side.

It could be several of things.. It can be
from the abortion as to yes the uterus or
it could be a side affect from the
abortion or it could even be you body
preparing for a menstrual cycle.. If you
have an obgyn give them a call and ask to
spek to a nurse or charge nurse, and they
could give you some answers to wether or
not you should be re checked.. Good luck

I disagree. I think you should wait and
see if the symptoms clear up in a week or
so. If not, see your doctor or the doctor
that performed the abortion. It could be
an infection or it could be menstrual
pains as well.

That is why you need to talk to the
nurse.. If it is an infection you dont
want it to get worse.. You could always
try an take tylenol for the discomfort..

Tylenol is helpful but the nurse would be
a better option.

Health After Abortion

I cant seem to find the email I sent-it
was a long one as well.
Lets just say-dont leave anything too long
without getting checked. I was very
healthy before-periods were light and
painless,-i had a termination 4 yrs ago
with cramping/pelvic pain 7 days a
week/heavy,clotty periods,ovulation pains
that kept me of work. My health went so
bad over 4 yrs I had a hysterectomy 10 wks
ag0- my ovary was squashed in my bowel and
had cysts on my right ovary.I know this is
linked to my abortion because I never had
this before it.
I a childless at 33 yrs old but physically
I am 100%better-emotionally I wont forget
the experience-time is a healer.
I am writing to the clinic as I cant
understand why they dont offer
antibiotics/scans after they have done
abortions.My gynae and doc dont want to
point fingers but I still feel frustrated
because I dont have the answers- doctors
thought I was going potty and the pain was
in my hed-id luv to go back and tell them
now.
I had cramps for 6 wks after abortion-they
told me it was normal-till I couldnt cope
no more-i went back and had some retained
tissue. Nightmare.
I really do hope you feel better and
please listen to your body.Cramps and pain
are not normal.
Take care
sunny xx :?

they do. And the abortion doesn't touch
the ovaries. Just the uterus. You
probably had issues before and never knew
it. |

wrong.... Where I had my abortion they
only gave me a chair with ginger ale and a

They sometimes will give you the
antibiotic through the iv and sometimes
you do not even hook you up to the iv
until you are out of it. Different drs
do things differently, especially
now-a-days. You should check with your
dr or the assistant.
Good luck, we are here for you!

If you have an abortion in a hospital,
then sometimes they will give you iv anti
biotics there. But tazzy.. That is sad,
because I have not known anyone to not get
any kind of take meds.. I work in
clinics... Hmmm... If this was long ago,
then things do change..

Im just advising that they dont leave it
too long without getting it checked.
I should know what the clinic did and
didnt- your username speaks for
itself-sont you think?? End of story.

What you have is a complex. You believe
nobody and care for nobody because your a
heartless cold stone. You think everyone
isout to get you and "lie" to you when in
reality you are your own worst enemy. And
everyone recognizes this as soon as you
write something because you cannot write
anything sensible.

why? Because I don't believe you?
Just as carifairy stated, antibodics are
always given out. They give a small
snack after in the recovery room, but when
you leave, you are given antibodics to
take for 10 days
after. |
i don't know, this post made sense to me,
sunshine. Why? Do you find it confusing?

well it's possible you either went to a
bad clinic a long long time ago, or the
hospital you went to gave you iv
antibiotics and you didn't even notice,
right after the procedure.

do you not listen?Im 34 yrs old,you are
not speaking to a child, yes clinics in
theory must do that but what im saying is
that I wasnt offered any meds.And yes I do
remember clearly. My gynae 2 wks ago
said there was a high chance that I got an
infection from it- do you want to argue
that one? There is a 0.2%chance of
retained tissue after abortion-do you want
to argue that as well?
Mos women log onto this site to see how
others are coping,instead they are
patronised and humiliated.

well I didnt have any to take away with
me-no prescription,nothing.
They told me the first few weeks was
normal to have cramps/bleeding.
Good job I went back-having retained
tissue left inside me-
its scary reading that women are still
having cramps 6 mths later after it.
You may be right I probably did go to a
bad clinic and I hope things have changed
from 4 yrs ago.
- but there is sensitivity chips missing
with certain people on here.
