What Causes Vaginal Bleeding During Pregnancy?

My friend had an abortion done last year some time. She didn t have it done @ a clinic or hospital. She bought the abortions pills by someone, did it @ home and never went to hospital or clinic or seen any doctor after that. She never had a womb scrub or whatever. About a month ago she found out she s pregnant. The day after that she started bleeding but didn t think anythong of it as they say that it is normal to bleed in your first trimester. However, when she eventually decided to go see a doctor they did a pregnancy test and it showed negative. Is this a result of a miscarraige or what?

Hallow Dear,

I feel you should get certain medical knowledge which will clarify many of your doubts and also get some important messages.

Firstly, she should not have instituted termination of pregnancy by abortion pills without Gynaecologist's advice. These medicines are prescription medicines and should be taken with appropriate prescription and advice; lest the risk of many complications.

Now regarding her ?fresh pregnancy:

Yes, after the medical termination of pregnancy, fresh pregnancy is possible after the next cycle. If her pregnancy test was positive, she could be pregnant again. However the dilemma is due to next day negative pregnancy test.

Dear friend, even if she has aborted on the day she got her pregnancy test report positive, the very next day pregnancy test would not become negative due to abortion. It takes about a week to 10 days for the pregnancy test to report negative after the baby has become non-viable.

So the possibility is that one of the tests is reporting incorrect. The fact that she has done first test after bleeding started suggests that this could be false positive result; however false positive results are not commonly known. To find out the true fact, please opt for Beta hCG test. This test is highly sensitive and gives reliable reports even few days before missing a period.

I hope this will resolve your dilemma.

To avoid such stressful confusing situations in the life, I would suggest you to advice your friend to use some reliable contraceptive method like condom, intrauterine device like copper T or birth control pills if she does not plan pregnancy in near future.

I hope this helps you.
