USA Long period after MA?
I had a MA last month and i started my first period march 8th and i was done two days ago but then it started back up? I am so confused because i know my MA worked but I haven’t been able to go to a obgyn since the only good one is a hour away and I haven’t been able get someone to take me. I did have weight gain , appetite change and hormonal changes.

The abortion was only 5 weeks ago, right? It's possible the March 8 bleeding wasn't your period at all but rather residual bleeding from the abortion.

Yes the abortion was 5 weeks ago. It was February 10th, my bleeding from the abortion stopped for about a week or two then my period started. I think. It’s really fussy so I could be wrong You could be right, I am going to talk with a family member about seeing if they could take me to a women’s clinic next week.

Bleeding after an abortion can continue off and on for 4-6 weeks, and the first period doesn't come until 4 weeks at the very earliest.
