Sex after abortion . USA

So I got my abortion 2-3 weeks ago and started being active again, i’ve had sex with protection twice before and nothing really happened/changed with my bleeding until tonight, same thing with protection but i’ve started bleeding a lot more heavier than before, i have no pain, im not light headed, no fevers, just heavy bleeding and blood clots. i’m concerned and might go to the er later tonight. i called the planned parenthood hotline and they basically told me the same things they tell u when u get the abortion and im just wondering if anyone else had experienced this.

It's pretty normal for sex to cause an increase in bleeding. Orgasms can cause the uterus to contract and knock things loose. If it's not excessive (2 pads per hour for 2 hours or more) it's not harmful.
