"I was diagnosed with menorrhagia, and had to have a D&C procedure to remove the uterine lining buildup and a mass left from the February procedure. This medical complication arising from the February abortion occurred while I was in rehabilitation, but I still finished the 30 day program and was discharged. I was not pregnant while in rehabilitation," she explained.
