Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion on November 23rd and a D&C procedure on the 13th of the next month. Now I'm experiencing bleeding. What could be the reason? I just started bleeding today and took a birth control pill yesterday.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if you took birth control yesterday and had a breakthrough bleeding today without knowing how much blood you lost, it could be due to the birth control pill or possibly your period. For now, please wait and see. If it is your period, it will usually subside naturally within a few days. I'm not sure if you took the birth control pill to regulate your period or to prevent pregnancy. If you took emergency contraception, it is possible to trigger bleeding after stopping the medication. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
