Why Am I Not Bleeding Post Abortion?

Hello, I recently had a surgical abortion (ectopic pregnancy). I was wondering how soon I could do a hpt? I do have an apt. with my family dr in a week. I am just a little concerned with how I am not bleeding anymore (it has been 4 days since the abortion).

Hello dear
Understand your concern
As per your history you under went for surgical abortion for ectopic pregnancy. Surgical procedure is very successful and chance of bleeding is very less. It generally done by suction evacuation.In surgical procedure all the product of conception has been removed. Bleeding occur if there is retain product inside the uterus. So it is good that there is no bleeding. Pregnancy test will become negative 7-10 after abortion. If you are very concerned you can go for USG scan 7 days after abortion. Other wise after 14 days. Take rest, analgesic, antibiotics, check for foul smells vaginal discharge to prevent infections, healthy diet with iron supplements.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
