I had an abortion in the month of February 2016. My first menstrual flowed for two days. And I am having serious back and waist pains. Is this normal?
Some pain is expected after an abortion but once it becomes unbearable you must seek medical attention.
please my period start either 13,14,or 15 every month n last For 7 days thus one week so what time can I have sex without a condom to avoid pregnancy, can it be from the last day my period ends Or.? please help me know.
Hi Kay, there is no safe time as such. In rare cases it’s also possible to get pregnant during period. But if you still want to do it without condom, the least fertile days will be just before menstruation, during menstruation, and just after menstruation. Make sure to take an after pill, because the possibility of pregnancy is least on these days, but not zero. ATB!
I don’t know where to leave a question at but I had a medical abortion in December and I have had three periods since then which were almost completely normal. Now my period is 16 days late and I’ve taken 3 pregnancy test (all negative) and I’ve been having cramps on and off for about three weeks (I felt as though my period was coming this whole time.) are there any possible complications that can occur with a medical abortion that I should be concerned with? Or should I just keep waiting for my period to come?
Hi Jessica, there are some things like you should not have sex or use tampons in the first 3-4 weeks after medical abortion, as they might cause infection. As you have had three normal period, that should not be an issue with you. Some birth control pills, or a sudden heavy exercise/change of diet and even stress can be a reason of late period. I would suggest that you take one more pregnancy test and if that also is negative, then please see a doctor. Best of luck!
Hi my husband and I have been trying for a baby of our own for 5 years, we both have children from pervious relationships. This month I had a (period) bleed this month and it only lasted 24 hours. I did a test 2 days after the bleeding and it came back positive… since then i did another 6 to find out whether i am pregnant and they came out back with negatives. I had all the signs of being pregnant. I have also missed my menstrual period this month. I am so confused especially since we have been trying for 5 years. Please can I have some advice. Thank you
Hi Tracey, Try taking the test after 10 days after the day you were supposed to get your period. Also, try having sex on your most fertile days. Usually it’s 14 days before your next period’s first day. All the very best!
I have take abortion pills before 20 days and I have 2 times periods after abortion how is this possible is that to be worried about this or not please tell me
Hi Chetna, The first bleeding you had was most probably not period, but the bleeding to empty the uterus after abortion. The second must be the normal period. So no need to panic.
I had a medical abortion last year on Sept. 19th and it was the worst decision I ever made. I bled for about 4 weeks and don’t know if I had my period during that time or not. Shortly after I stopped bleeding I found out I was pregnant again and I’m trying to figure out when I conceived due to the health concerns. I’m about 26 weeks now. How can I know exactly when I got pregnant after the abortion?
I had a medical abortion (mifepristone and misopristol) on the 2nd March 2016 and observed heavy flow on first 5 days and very lite flow continued so i contact to my doctor on 21 march he prescribed me overal -G tablet for 10 day (2 pills per day) and tolled me that lite bleeding will stop immediately and normal menstrual will start after 4-5 days end of the pills. normal bleeding started on 5 april as stated by doctor but now bleeding is heavy (7 pad per day) and passing blood clot
**my doc. is out of station for one month
**pregnancy test done on 20 march result negative

Q2. every thing is clear out or not? to find it USG is required or any thing else
Q3. pregency test negative confirm that every thing is clear out?
thx
Hi Dipika, Ovral G tablet may cause heavy bleeding and blood clots but in that case you should immediately consult with a doctor. If your doc is out of station, please consult any other good doctor.
Hello Um I Had My Period On March 13-22& April 4 I Had Unprotected Sex When is Best To Take A Pregnancy Test ?
Hi Jennifer, I would suggest to wait at least till 14th May before taking a test. Also, never ever have sex without protection, until you are trying. All the best!
I had an abortion on d 23rd of Feb, I’m yet to see my period, just having stomach aches once in a while, hope I’m fine.
It may take another 4 to 8 weeks before your period arrives.
I had abortion on the 6th of April and today the 7th, my breast is still big and my body is hot. Am I still pregnant?
No, you may not be pregnant. Only one day has passed since the procedure – it will take some time for your breasts to return to normal. On another note, generally, hCG levels will remain high up to 6 weeks after abortion or miscarriage. To confirm if the pregnancy is terminated, it may be necessary for you to re-test a few times after the abortion.
I was 6 weeks pregnant and I had an abortion 14 Days ago and 6 days later I stopped bleeding now on the 14th day I started bleeding and i dont know if its bleeding from the abortion or my peroid and I am due for a blood test will the abortion or pregnancy show up on my blood test?
I desperately need help no one can find out I was pregnant and I had an abortion
Hi Seles, the bleeding for 14 days is normal after an abortion. It’s your body clearing out the blood. It’s not period.
In the blood test, it might or might not show. It will depend on your body only. All the very best!
I had unprotected sex on the 14th february on the 27 my periods started and ended somwhere early march since then i have not had my periods but am having signs of period pains like i normally have before i start my periods could i be pregnant? Or what could be the reasons for this delay of my mentrual cycle?
Monica, no, pregnancy should not be the reason here as you have had regular period after that. A heavy exercise, a new medicine, or even a sudden change in diet can result in late period. Do you think any of these might be your reason?
Are you experiencing anything different too? Pain or allergy or anything unusual?
I had unprotected sex on 22nd February. My menses came on the 11th of April. I haven’t seen it this month. Could there be a probability of pregnancy?
Maybe not. Your periods may be irregular. Did you have a period in March?
Hi, I had my period on the 8th to 11th of March. I use to be a virgin but I had an unprotected sex on the 14th of March, though I did not see any sign of blood that I have been dis-flowered. Is there any possibility for me to get pregnant?
Hi, I had a surgical abortion on the 10th of March this year and continued to bleed untill the 31th, but it did become lighter towards the end. It stopped for one day then I suddenly got really bad cramps on the 2nd or Feb and started to bleed again it’s the 5th now and I’m still bleeding like its a normal period, is this normal to get your period so soon after? I’ve been under a huge amount of stress because my father has recently passed away and I’ve been doing almost all of the house work and lifting boxes since 3 days after my surgery could this be why I’m having sudden heavy bleeding or is it a period???
After 6 weeks of my pregnancy, I had my abortion on the 5th of March and it was 15 days of continuous bleeding. When will I get my period?
Your period is expected within 4 to 8 weeks after your abortion.
