Hi..I had my abortion on 12 may medical abortion. I got my first period on 16th June but I am still awaiting my July month period. Didn’t have unprotected sex also. Is this normal or I can wait or need to visit doctor?
Hi Rits, it could be normal. If you haven’t had unprotected sex then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. I would give it a week or two to make the choice to go to the doctor.
Hi, I have an abortion of seven months, I was bleeding for like two weeks which is normal then after that I started seeing my menstrual like normal everything was fine, until my boyfriend told me he has staphylococcus then for my next menstrual cycle it flow for ten days which I know is abnormal and after that the next month was OK but like right now I have been having menstrual flow for more than two weeks I need help I don’t know what is wrong with me if I have staphylococcus or my hormones system is bad pls I need your advice
HI Suzzy, Please make an appointment with your doctor as staph is contagious.
Hi I’m cate.my last Period came on 23rd June this year.This was the first day of my period in that month.17th July I had unprotected sex with my fiance.Is there a possibility that I may get pregnant at this time?kindly assist I’m really disturbed.Thank you.
Hi Cate, this would have been after your fertile period. So you most likely won’t get pregnant if you are on a 28 day cycle.
Hello I’m Nancy,I had a medical abortion with mifepristone on the 3rd of July and Misoprostol two days later on the 5th of July,I bled for one week,then I had unprotected sex today 17th July(12days after abortion),is it safe for me to take Postinor 2??and what should I expect after taking it..please respond because I’m so confused,I don’t know what to do.Thanks
Hi Nancy, it is safe. You can take it to prevent another pregnancy. You might get your period earlier or later, especially since you just had an abortion as well. Expect your period to be a little off.
I did abortion on 2nd of March then experienced periods on April since there I never had periods and didn’t have sex ever since I aborted and it’s now 3 months since I got my menses and my breasts feels tenderness please help me out. is it possible that I might still be pregnant?
Hi Monkie, Have you had your follow up visit to the doctor to be sure that everything has been expelled or removed (depending on what type of abortion you had)? If not then I would do that. You should have gotten your period by now.
Hello, I had an abortion with injection of a 6 weeks and 4 days pregnancy on the 20th of may and bled for 5 days and since then which is almost 6 weeks after I haven’t seen my period and today I press my nipples and see a liquid substance coming out of my breasts am sooo worried
Hello Princess, take a pregnancy test to confirm this was properly terminated.
Hi
my name is Nontobeko
I had an abortion on the 15th of June, went for checkup after two weeks and was told everything is fine, my worry is that I have never stopped menstruating, is this normal?
Hello Nontobeko, this is bleeding that is happening most likely as a result of you having aborted.

Hello Promise, you can try now but it’s better and easier for you to track ovulation after your cycle has normalized.
please I was 2weeks and 4 days pregnant I took an abortion pill which I bleed for 5 to 6 days, I did pregnancy test after three days but positive so I went for ultrasound which was negative but my doctor said she don’t know if is remenant or something else that is closer to the womb, she said I should come back 2weeks later if I feel any unusual pains or smell but I didn’t feel anything. now is been 3weeks after my abortion but I have not seen my period and am not feeling comfortable at all. please do reply me back,.
Hello Rejoice, you might not be pregnant. However HCG levels take a while to decrease after an abortion. Your period will return anytime between now and 6 weeks.
Had four abortions…my periods are irregular medical abortions ,have being trying to get pregnant for the past two months and nothing …am worried
Hello Kare, see your doctor to see if all is well.
Hi I’m casey my last day of period was last May 29 and i had an unprotected sex last June 8, I had my pregnancy test last july 5 and it was negative however i still haven’t got my period as of this time.
Hi Casey, I would wait another week and test again if you havent gotten your period by then. Have you had any stressors recently or illnesses? Any of those can also affect your period.
I had my abortion 23 of June and I had unprotected sex on the 24 I feel pregnant I did pregnancy text but negative was it too early can I get pregnant?
Hi Stella, you most likely would not have been ovulating a day after an abortion. And since you are only about a week or so out you’re still getting rid of the effects of the previous pregnancy.
hello my girl friend abort on 8th of June 2018 and had unprotected sex on 15 June 2018 and took poststino 2 not up to a day after the unprotected sex.but she has not see her period hope no problem
Hi Paul, depending on how far along she was it could take 6-8 weeks for her period to return. Other than that the emergency contraception can also affect periods as well. Wait another week or so and then have her take a pregnancy test.
Hi, I had an abortion on April 25th didn’t stop bleeding until June 27th. When will I be ovulating or getting my period back to normal. I’ve been having unprotected sex I took the ovulating text and it shows NO LH SURGE
He Yessenia, so you bled for nearly two months after the abortion continuously. I wouldn’t be able to tell you as you should have gotten a period already and the bleeding should not have lasted that long.
hi. i had an abortion last june 6. unfortunately we had unprotected sex 3 weeks after. this june 30 to be exact .But my Bf told me that he is sure that i will not become pregnant because he pulled out before he withdraw. Is there a chance that i get pregnant ? Im still waiting for my menstruation to come back. I hope you can answer me. im feeling stressed that what if i might get pregnant again.
Hi Railla, you can get pregnant. the withdrawal method isn’t foolproof. If you are ovulating then you might not know when you are fertile. I would wait until the middle to the end of the month and take a pregnancy test if you don’t get your period. But do take into account that stress can affect your period as well.
