What is happening with me? Moreover I took the pregnancy test and it came out negative.
Hello Prudence, retest in 7 days for pregnancy.
Hello,
I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend on the 16th, 17th, and 24th of Feb. My period was due yesterday but never came. My periods come every month like clock work. 28 day cycle and last about 5-7 days long each time.
I am young and very new to all of this can someone help me?
I don’t know what to do now.
Hi Juliette. Were you having unprotected sex? If so, depending on when you ovulated, you might be pregnant. Have you taken a test? Are you trying to get pregnant?
Hi I had medical abortion on the 17th of January and am still bleeding but I feel normal what happening
Hi Bee, If you are still bleeding and it hasn’t stopped since the abortion, go to your doctor.
I had abortion on the 12 Jan 2018 I saw my period on the 12 feb 2018 it was very heavy and painful and I was weak and feeling dizzy. It took 12 days to stop and now the discharges are brown like light blood since after heavy flow I’m just worried when will I see normal discharge again. Because now I have 8 weeks and I am afraid to have sex. What must I do?
Hi Sivi, I would consider that your period on the 12th of February. If you are on a 28 day cycle you could expect your period relatively soon. If you are still having discharge and it hasn’t stopped I would consult your doctor to discuss if something else is wrong, a potential complication. However, you are safe to have sex, just be protected if you don’t want to go through his again.
Please my last menstrual period was on February 8 2018 please what will be my menstrual cycle and the length of my period last for 5 days.

& my normal period date is 1st Feb. But my abortion was done b/w 13 jan to 19 jan .plss tel me when I ‘ll be having my periods ????
After abortion how many weeks to get my periods …plss reply…
Hi Anny, after an abortion you should see your period between 4-8 weeks after the procedure was done.
Over the years, i abused postinor2,for three years now i haven’t been able to get pregnant, what can i do to remedy the situation as i really want to get pregnant… And also, i think it messed with my ovulation but I’m not sure.
Hi Emem, while it will not cause you to become infertile, long term use could have an affect on your ovulation and your cycle. I would recommend not using it and if you are trying to get pregnant and it hasn’t happened for more than six months or so I would check in with your doctor to make sure there aren’t any other issues. But if your aren’t trying to get pregnant (which based on your post doesn’t seem to be the case) then I would still talk to your doctor about a regular birth control.
I had an aspiration abortion on December 21st and had sex on December 28th and took plan B the next morning. I missed my period for January and as of this week (February 12th) my pregnancy tests were coming back positive. I finally started my period on the 15th and my tests now are very very faint. Just sharing this Incase anyone was worried. It had been exactly 8 weeks for me to get my period and the tests o barely detect the hcG in my urine.
I hope this helps someone!

Comment Text*Hi I’m Emelia, I had a medical abortion on 19th of December last year. On the 21st of January, 2018, I had my menses, I had sex on the 27th of January, 2018 could I be pregnant because I was expecting my menses on 17th February but it has not come.
Hi Emilia, if you end up being 7 days late I would take a pregnancy test, probably at the end of the week. That’s the only way to know for sure.
My last period was the 1st of feb I had sex on the 7th my periods are always 28 days long & have been coming on the 1st & actually ending on the 6th every month now . Could I be pregnant? Or is it all in my head ? I been trying so long & I still haven’t got pregnant due to birth control.
Hi there Jalik, this is hard to determine virtually…take a pregnancy test to confirm this.
I had my period on the 29th of January and had unprotected sex on the 16th of February and took a plan b. Is there a possibility for me to be pregnant?please help me.
Hello Alice, once the Plan B was taken on time then there should be no chance of pregnancy.
Please admin tell me the length of my menstral cycle. I have January period on 13th follow by February on 1st. Thanks
Hi Comfort, that would be a 19 day cycle. Are they normally irregular or that short? If so I would be consulting with your doctor regarding the cause of them being that short.
Hi, I had a medical abortion on the 4 of February but I’m still experiencing pregnancy symptom I’m I still pregnant? please help.
Hi Rose, when it comes to breast tenderness that could last up to two to three weeks. As far as other symptoms such as nausea and such, that tends to dissipate after about 24-72 hours. But if you are concerned I would make a call to the nurse or doctor to get their opinion, but you should start feeling as though you are pregnant by now.
Hi,I had my period on the 1st of February 2018 and it stop on the 6th February, and I had unprotected sex with my partner on the 7th of February and 11th of February 2018 respectively. can I be pregnant? pls help out
Hi Tari! According to the calculator at https://womanjunction.com Your peak ovulation days would have been February 11th to the 15th. So you could potentially get pregnant.
Hi I had an abortion last on 26 October but its now February and I haven’t seen my periods any suggestion
Hi Twinkey. Having an abortion should restart your cycles. You should have gotten your normal period between 2 and 6 weeks after the abortion. I would recommend taking a pregnancy test if you have a concern that you are going to get pregnant. If it’s negative I would recommend a consultation with your doctor.
Hi am Juliet. Had protected and unprotected sex with my bf on the 29th of January and I took prostino the next day and on the 7th of February I had unprotected sex again with my bf and I took prostino. Am supposed to start my menstrual cycle today the 12th of February am yet to see it. I used pregnancy test and it shows me negative. Just want to be sure that am not pregnant.
Hi Juliet, Taking Prostino can affect your period becuase you are adding hormones to your body. However, it’s not recommended to use them as regular birth control. If you are trying to prevent pregnancy I would recommend a more consistent method of birth control. Otherwise, I would take another test in about a week.
Hi.
I had a medical abortion done on the 8th of January 2018, the bleeding stopped on the 17th of January 2018, i then had protected sex on the 1st of February 2018 my partner didn’t pull out after he came….. according to my cycle calender i was supposed to start my next period on the 4th of February 2018…… and up till today 11th February, i still haven’t seen my period…. should i be worried? Please help!
Hi Viki, it could take up to 6 weeks after a medical abortion to see your period again. But you said you had protected sex, do you mean unprotected? Becuase if so you could be pregnant. I would recommend taking a pregnancy test.
I’m in a similar situation except I had mine done Dec 21st. Still haven’t gotten my period and texts are still showing positive . I was talking to someone at the clinic and she said she has seen it take up to 8 weeks. Hope this helps you!
