Hi, I was 5 weeks pregnant when I had a surgical abortion on 3rd May 2017. 1st period started a month after and lasted for 7 days with heavy flow. Then again 2 weeks later I noticed blood clots and slight bleeding for a day and it stopped. Two weeks later again on 8th of July (this month) my period started and is continuing till date (10th july). Blood flow isn't alarmingly heavy but I read everywhere that my 1st period was supposed to be light when it wasn't in my case. I didn't take any pregnancy tests after the abortion. I've also had sex since. Should I be worried?

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for coming to us for advice regarding the chance in your periods since having a surgical abortion.
Please contact the physician who performed the abortion. The heavy bleeding that is lasting longer than normal for you is serious and cannot be ignored.
Your physician is your best resource, who knows your medical history and can do a physical examination.
Regards,
