I understand that the financial responsibility for emergency medical care not provided at Planned Parenthood is my own. Even
if Planned Parenthood refers me to a hospital because of a complication, it will be my responsibility to arrange for
payment of necessary fees, and not the responsibility of Planned Parenthood.
WHAT TO EXPECT BLEEDING: Bleeding may be irregular, stopping and starting again and may last for 2 to 4 weeks. You may bleed as much as a
heavy period, have very little spotting or bleeding, or not bleed at all. You may pass clots from the size of a pea to the size
of a golf ball or larger. This is all normal.
CRAMPING: Cramping may also be irregular and can last for 2 to 4 weeks. Take medications containing ibuprofen such as Advil,
Motrin (600-800 mgs every 4-6 hours), or Aleve (two regular strength pills every 6 hours). (Tylenol is less effective) Heat
is also good for cramps – place a heating pad on your abdomen or lower back; or stand in the shower and let warm water
run on your abdomen or lower back and massage your abdomen. A warm bath may also help.
DIZZINESS/DROWSINESS, NAUSEA/VOMITING: May be due to the sedation and may last for 24 hours following the procedure.
Do not drive a vehicle before 24 hours have passed. Try taking a nap and eating a bland, nutritious meal, nothing fried or

After your procedure your body will be undergoing some changes due to the drop in the pregnancy hormones. All pregnancy
symptoms should disappear within 10 days; however, do not do a home pregnancy test until three weeks have passed
because it will give you a false positive reading.
