Hi Ivana, it’s not abnormal to miss your period for 4-12 weeks after surgical abortion. However, this varies from woman to woman and depends on how far along the pregnancy had proceeded before it was terminated. Did your doctor give you a date?

Hi. You should get your normal period 4-8 weeks after an abortion. Best of luck.
Hello,
I had unprocted sex on the 8th of February and also that following week around the 15. But I got my period on the 18th till the 21st, it was irregular, can I still get pregnant?
Hello Jessica. The chance of pregnancy is always there when having unprotected sex. You stated that you did have a period after the last encounter. If you are still concerned you should take a pregnancy test.
Hi,

Is no period till now normal? Should i talk to my doctor or wait more.
Hello Yamini,
Sorry to hear about that. Both, a gap of 5-6 weeks and a urine infection, is not abnormal after a missed abortion. However, it is always best to take professional help. So, I would suggest that you talk with your doctor about it.
Hi Emily,
Thanks for the reply, My period started on 5th March, and it’s normal.

Hi Shalin, please contact your doctor immediately. It’s not abnormal to bleed heavy after a surgical abortion, but it may be a serious problem.
Hi i had my period on the 1st of February and i had unprotected sex on the 18th of February, now i had early period on 27th of February. I’m worried can i be pregnant?
Hi. as you got your period you should not be pregnant. good luck.
I got my period on 20th which should actually be 2nd (I didn’t do any pregnancy tests in the middle BTW, because we are not expecting though and had papaya,Sesame seeds to get period) ,the bleeding is more than normal with mild cramps and it’s been 10 days and still not a single sign of stopping ( am still changing 2 pads a day). Now am worried if that could be an abortion.
Do I need to see a doctor.
Hi Rebecca, yes, you should see a doctor. Bleeding for 10 days is definitely not normal and might be a serious issue too.
Hi, I had my period on 7th to 10th feb..on 24th I had unprotected sex. What are the chances of me geting pregnant please help!
If you have unprotected sex, you have a chance of getting pregnant. Especially because you are close to your ovulation date.
Hi, I started my period in the 11th of feb I usually go for 4 days but it was so light that on the 5th to the 7th I was only spotting. I then had unprotected sex on the 22nd. what are the odds of me getting pregnant?
Probably not too likely, but everyone is different. I would suggest taking a pregnancy test one week after (if you miss your period).
Hi i got my period on the 23rd of january. And i expect to see it again some time this month, i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 19th of February…… Is their a possibility i could get pregnant?
well, every time you have unprotected sex there is a possibility of getting pregnant
My cycle has changed from 28 days to 25 is there anything wrong with me.and I’ve been trying to fall pregnant but nothing seem to work for me.I’m little bit worried
Nope! Change of cycle is perfectly normal. If you are still concerned, I would seek professional guidance.
If it was unprotected, you could be; but it is too soon to tell. Take a pregnancy test one week after your missed period if it doesn’t show up.
