Comment Text* I Had My Period Between 14 And 15 Of March And I Had Unprotected Sex On The 1 Of April And Im Expectx My Period On Either 11 Or 12, Was It Safe For Me To Have Had Sex?
Hi Valarie, see, there is never a safe time to have unprotected sex. Always use protection like condom, because unprotected sex on any day, including during your period, can result in a pregnancy. Also, by your information, 1st April would probably be close to your ovulation time, so it’s even more unsafe if you do not want to get pregnant. But, don’t worry right now. Wait for 12th March. Not every sex results in a pregnancy. All the best!
I had my abortion on march 17th but still my periods is continuing for more than 10 days, is this have any problem for me…
Hi Annie, it’s normal to bleed for one-three weeks after the abortion. It’s not period, but the body is clearing out itself.
Hello, i had a surgical abortion on 27th of March. And am still having those symptoms, like painful nipples full burst, and little pains below my abdomen. I’m kinda scared. Don’t know if the foetus is still there.
Hi Grace, it’s natural to feel sore breasts and little abdominal pain for upto 3 weeks after surgical abortion. Have you scheduled a ‘checkup after 2 weeks
of abortion’? If not, then do schedule one and go. That is very essential. Good luck!
My wife was pregnant of 6 weeks she took the medicine mifepristone and misopristol. 10 days bleeding occur but it not be clear after that surgical abortion has been done 15 days after I have done unprotected sex with withdrawal method .can be chances of pregnancy.
Hi Deepak, unprotected sex can always result in a pregnancy. So ALWAYS use protection if you are not trying for pregnancy. Withdrawal sex is not safe. Also, it’s not safe for the woman to have sex within 4 weeks of surgical abortion. So please refrain from sex for a couple of weeks.
I had a medical abortion February 27th. I was exactly 5 weeks. The experience was much easier than I expected. I started my first menstrual cycle a week ago (3 weeks after procedure.) Usually my cycles are very light & last for 3-5 days. This time, I’m experiencing HEAVY bleeding and passing clots. Otherwise, I feel fine. Is this normal? Thanks in advance for any help.
Yes, those symptoms are normal after an abortion. If you develop a fever however, please consult a doctor. A period typically chances after such a procedure, read more here http://womanjunction.com/menstrual-cycle-abortion/

I had an abortion with pills 5 years ago and bleed for 4 days in which the first day was so heavy and normal. And I have been seeing my periods normally.
