Accepted Answer

hello there after taking contraceptive pills it will take few days to clear it properly but still on the regular intervals if you are porting again and again then there's definitely you need to consult with the doctor and go for the ultrasound but feel you can once wait for the normal periods once if you get them properly then don't worry but if you are getting only the spotting again and again then you should consult with doctor

Answer

in case if you're having bleeding after taking the contraceptive pill there is nothing to worry about this in many cases it occurs but you should avoid having relation for at least 15 to 20 days after an abortion as your body is still weak and profuse bleeding may occur in this case
