I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?

It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.

I took some medical pills for an abortion when I was about 5 weeks pregnant. My doctor prescribed me one tablet of mifepristone and two misoprostol tablets, but instead of letting them dissolve under my tongue, I ended up swallowing them with water. Now I've gotten my period, but I'm worried. Is there a chance I could still be pregnant?
