Period like bleeding 2.5 weeks after surgical abortion

[Milliegirl25]

I had a surgical abortion 2 and a half weeks ago, due to my severe anxiety. It is the biggest regret of my life and I will never forgive myself for making that choice. I am currently seeing two therapists (one being a pregnancy/abortion specific one), as well as a functional health dr to get my physical and mental health more balanced to avoid this ever happening again.
Anyway, the day of the abortion I had some bleeding. Then nothing for 3 days. Then i started getting pain, followed by bleeding, so went on antibiotics.
Since then I have been having very light bleeding on and off, up until yesterday when it started to become heavier, and similiar to a heavy period.
I have an appointment booked with a gp in 3 days to get a referral for an ultrasound, but i am absolutely terrified. Why am I still bleeding? I miss my baby so much and deeply regret what I did, and now im terrified I have ruined my chances of ever becoming mother and may have caused permanent damage to my uterus.
Has anyone else experienced this and been okay? Has anyone else had a surgical abortion and gone on to have a healthy baby? Before I made this choice, from my research it appeared abortions very rarely effected fertility. Now post abortion, I seem to be coming across more and more stories of people who have experienced permanent damage.
I am so broken and terrified. :(

Just wanted to say that you aren’t alone. I had surgical over 5 weeks due to anxiety issues and like you I completely regret it. Now I’m think how stupid I was. Just wish I could turn back time. I bleed for over 3 weeks it was a mix of light and heavy bleeding. At 4 weeks I took a test which was negative and a couple of days ago I started my period, so I started my period 5 weeks after it.
I got told you can bleed up to 6 weeks some even more so try and not stress too much.
And like you before I had it done I didn’t read any bad things but since its happened I’ve read about scarring etc and now so worried I’ve ruined my chance of ever becoming a mum.
I now made myself stop reading stuff on it as was only making me feel even worse. It doesn’t feel like it but you will start feeling better I promise you that as I honestly thought I wouldn’t but you will have better days but of course you get down days as well.
My friend told me she had to have two surgical and she now have two healthy kiddies. So there is hope and hopefully one day we will be mums.

Are you guys still here! ?
