Hi Favour, It could be your period starting, or it could be another pregnancy. However if you are trying to prevent pregnancy and not start a family (which it seems so since you had an abortion), you’ll want to seriously consider a form of birth control, be it for you or him.
I had medical abortion and after one month lighter bleeding comes 4 days on my periods date but after next month I don’t get my periods am i still pregnant.
Hello Jogits, the best way to find this out is by taking a pregnancy test.

Hello Yessenia, you can get pregnant right after an abortion as ovulation happens as it normally does even after an abortion.

Hello Althea, just take a pregnancy test to ensure you are safe. If you are not pregnant then your period should return soon.

Hello Hilka, you seem to have conceived again.
I had a surgical abortion april 4 which was 3 weeks pregnancy. I bled for two days. I had my first period on the 6th of April to 11. Until now I haven’t seen my period. I did urine PT and it’s negative am so scared I can’t imagine passing through the whole process again. hp am still very safe.
Hi, After an abortion generally you don’t see your actual period for anywhere from 4-8 weeks afterwards. What you were experiencing after the abortion could have been just the follow up from that. Give it another two weeks or so at this point to see your period.
I had miscarriage on 14th Feb and recovered my first period on 28th march which flowed 6days normal since then I have nt seen my second period till now n I test negative on blood test but my doctor said my serum prolactin is a little high so he gave me bromergeon drugs to take 1×2 daily to help reduce d prolactin level to normal ………should I take d drugs or is my second period delay normal
Hi Chinenye, it could be the high levels that led to the miscarriage. If you are looking to get pregnant again I would probably take the medications that they gave you. As far as your period being late, were you always regular with your period? If not then it could be an issue with regular ovulation.
I had abortion of 13weeks pregnancy, and I saw my first period at 6weeks after… Since den I have not seen my period again and I tested negative… Is it normal….lilian
Hi Lilian, depends. When was your last period? How late is it? Have you had unprotected sex since your last period and could potentially be pregnant again?
Hi, I had a medical abortion on 25th March 2018. The bleeding continued for 10 days to complete abortion .but till today I didn’t recover my periods. I did hcg test, it gave negative of pregnancy. Please give me any tips to recover my periods as early as possible. on date of 25th Feb to till today I didn’t have intercourse. Should I take any medication to recover my period after abortion I didn’t take any medication and I didn’t consult any doctor.
Hi Sri, it could take anywhere from 6-8 weeks to get your period back. I wouldn’t recommend medications at this point as it’s still a little early. I would give it a few more weeks and if not by June then I would consult with a doctor, but most likely your body is just healing itself.
I had medical abortion (about 8weeks pregnancy) on 5th of march about 1 week i bleed and now 2nd of may still didn’t get my periods back.i am so worried
Hi Amber, did you have your follow up with your doctor to ensure the abortion was successful? If not I would make an appointment with them and get checked out, otherwise it can take up to 8 weeks (generally falls within the 6 week range) to get your period back.
I meant up on till date 21/4/2018 no period
Hi, I had surgical abortion December 18 2017 , and I still haven’t seen my period and I have done pregnancy test which came out negative.. should I be really worried .. although I was like 16 weeks when I did the abortion.. I am really worried
Hi Kate, it’s possible that you have’t ovulated yet. Did you have a follow up appointment with your doctors? Generally periods come back within about 6-8 weeks. I would make an appointment if you didn’t have one just to be sure everything was taken care of as it should have been.
I had abortion 4 weeks ago.but i still haven’t gotten my normal period.what should i do?
Hi Riyasha, it could take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks to get your period back. I would give it another week or so.
