Period due ?'s: After a surgical abortion, which usually is indicated after 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, normal cycles take 5-7 weeks to occur, unless another pregnancy intervenes.

Question 4

had an abortion 7th march. having a whitish discharge, breast pain and tenderness, abdomibal cramp, back pain,  fatigue and dizziness. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Abortion: If the pregnancy termination occurred on March 7, 2018, your symptoms as described should not be now occurring.  Sometimes "medical abortion" (other than a "D&amp;C") does not terminate the pregnancy.  Obtain a serum HCG test to make certain there is no remaining tissue from the pregnancy. If positive, see your OB provider immediately.

Question 6

i had an abortion at 14 weeks and my breast hut real bad and hard is that normal. and what's the chance the abortion was unsuccessful?

Accepted Answer

About 5%: For a medical abortion at 14 weeks, the reported success rate is about 95%. That means about a 5% unsuccess rate, or 1 in 20 women. A woman will not know for sure that it was successful until she returns for a sonogram to see that there is no fetal or gestational tissue remaining.

Question 7

do abortion makes the breast sag?

Accepted Answer

Well, if your: Breasts enlarged during pregnancy, the size may reduce back down after abortion.

Question 8

do you breast shrink after an abortion?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Compared to while pregnant with the breasts under the influence of the higher hormone levels the breasts do shrink some after an abortion when the hormone levels fall. Hope this helps.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Hormone change: Breast secretion after a pregnancy can be related to the hormone changes of the pregnancy and should, therefore , disappear soon after termination.

Question 10

is discharging colostrum from the breasts a sign of a complete abortion?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Colostrum discharge can occur during a healthy pregnancy and can persist for a while after an abortion.
