Heavy bleeding can be the aftermath of any pregnancy ending, be it a
termination, an ectopic or a full term delivery. However, your bleeding
seems excessive and a visit to your doctor is in order. You should have
a pelvic exam, a blood count and possibly a sonogram to evaluate this.
Birth control pills, long or short term can be helpful in such
situations.
Hope this helps.
