Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm really concerned because I had a family planning operation along with an abortion back on April 24th, 2018. Right after the procedure, I just had spotting and some stomach pain. But now, 13 days later, I'm experiencing bleeding. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take to address this?

I've been taking Susten SR from the 18th to the 28th day of my cycle, and I finished it 4 days ago. I'm just wondering when I might expect my period to start or when would be a good time to take a pregnancy test. Can you help me out with this?
