If you wait too long then it could be a problem with things like infection and blood coagulation issues.  You should find out your blood type too especially the RH factor. It also depends on how far along you are. If you are in the first trimester waiting 2-3 weeks should not be a problem as long as there is no continuous bleeding and the above factors I discussed are looked into.
