But that was not like periods. my periods are never regular. 15 days cycle or 2 months gap. there was not much flow this time. only little and fresh reddish pink for some time a day. it continues for 3 4 days. 1 st it was just spotting. was that implantation bleeding again? am I pregnant again?

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
No, I do not see any possibility of pregnancy here, since you have not had sex after the D and C.
Why did you have a D and C ?
Also, it is not wise to conceive for 3 months following a D and C .
Irregular periods are common after a D and C, so do not worry.
PLease take a pregnancy test just in case.
All the best

Yes, I can understand your feelings.
It is common to experience guilt and depression after going in for an abortion.
Regret is very normal too.
But control your emotions, you are young, and you will definitely have children in the future.
The symptoms are common with irregular periods.
you should not try to conceive for 3 months after an abortion, as your body is not ready to get pregnant.
Please take folic acid and iron supplements for 3 months, eat healthy, and then plan a pregnancy.
Take care.
