Surgical:
Nothing is wrong if you do not bleed or have any pain.
This is why Alpha Group is well known and highly referred by his previous patients and other doctors in Atlanta, Georgia.
Do not have sex for three weeks.You are most fertile after this procedure.
Do not wear tampons or take tub baths.
No lifting over 25 pounds.
You can still have a positive pregnancy test for up to 4 weeks.
Your period could start right after the surgery or take up to 4-6 weeks.
Once you start back on your birth control, make sure you use another form of protection because it can take a month to get into your system with full effect.
Medical:
Post operative bleeding and clots: no one can predict how much you will bleed or when your normal period will happen.
Your particular hormone levels, your personal clotting factors, number of weeks you are pregnant, your stress level which affects your overall health and the medications you take on a regular basis. All of this can effect when and how much you bleed.
If you are still bleeding more than you should be, we have medications you can take to control the bleeding or you may have to have a D & C again. This is rare.
