Why bleeding not coming after abortion pills - #29391
I am really confused and worried right now. I took abortion pills about a week ago after discovering I was pregnant and it was an unplanned thing, to say the least. I was feeling super nauseous and just all these mixed emotions. Anyway, the doctor said I'd start bleeding within a few hours but it’s been a week and I’m freaking out because I am not experiencing any bleeding! Why is the bleeding not coming after abortion pills? I've read that for some, the bleeding can be kind of heavy, and others might just have light spotting, but nothing has happened for me. I had some mild cramps at first, but they went away after a day or two. I’m worried that maybe the pills didn't work or there's something wrong. I did check in with my doctor’s office, but they just told me to wait a bit longer, which isn’t super comforting when you're in this state. Has anyone else experienced this? Like, why is the bleeding not coming after abortion pills for me? Should I go to the ER just to make sure everything's okay? I can't help but worry about having to go through all of this, just for it to feel like it’s not even happening.
