Is Heavy Bleeding With Clots Symptoms Of Abortion?

Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
This bleeding after 2 months is most likely unrelated to the miscarriage.
Get a ultrasound pelvis done to see if the lining of the womb is OK, also for any other causes of excess bleeding needs to be identified.
the pill should be started after the first day of the next period rather than immediately after the abortion.
Rarely this could be due to retained tissue of miscarriage in which case a surgical removal may sometimes be required.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
