Bleeding for 3 months

Hi everyone I'm a little worried I don't know if anyone has any experience with this.. so I found out I was pregnant in end of june I'd only recently had a baby and after a long thought and a cry decided to take the at home abortion pill. Before the pill I had a scan and was told I have a hematoma the nurse thought I was having twins but it turned out it was a small sac of blood next to the baby. Well fast forward two weeks later I was on my way into work and felt a massive gush of blood I'd soaked my underwear completely and my car seat was drenched in blood I thought I was expelling the hematoma after abortion then fast forward a week later it happened again was a large ount of blood. Now ever since then I have had an almost constant period for 3 months it only ever fills one pad a day. I've recently had the depo injection also a month after the abortion so I'm wondering could it be from the depo or the abortion? Has anyone any experience with this. I don't know whether to go to a and e or doctor or leave it as im not sure whether it is common to bleed afterwards.

Have you had a negative pregnancy?

I'd think you need to at least speak to your GP ASAP, however to share my experience of the depo - I also bled a small amount every day for around 12 weeks, so much so I never had it again. I do think that is a 'normal' side effect of the depo and it is supposed to eventually settle down, but please seek medical advice.

I'm week 4 after taking the abortion pill at home - so many gushes of blood. Still happens if I sneeze etc. Filling over a pad a day. I read that bleeding was common up to 8 weeks after so wasn't going to bother GP yet, but I think if you're still bleeding after 3 months, you should give your GP a call.
