I got an abortion on March 31, I took birth control for two weeks. I got a little period during that time, that was maybe around April 13,14 but I have gotten my next period, my stomach feels big, I’m not sure if my cycle is out of wack or if it’s bloating or what? I’m so confused 🙁
I think you should visit a physician to rule out post abortion complication!

My last period was April 21 my ovulation days were May 2-7 and my period was supposed to start on the 20th…I had sex with my bf on the 30th, 1st and the 2nd. Is there a chance of us having a baby? I started bleeding on the 18th and it’s light; my normal period is heavy but I didn’t start my period until the 20th. What does this mean?
It is possible for you to conceive if you have sex while you’re fertile. If you had a period on the 20th then it could mean that you did not conceive.

Hi I’ve had an abortion on April 16th and I was bleeding for two weeks it was not much blood and the doctor told me I shouldn’t be on my period for 4-6 weeks I just got on my period (May 18th) and it hasn’t been four weeks. Is this normal??!!
Since you had an abortion on the 16th April, its normal to menstruate on 18th May, it falls within the normal range of menstruation after abortion(4 to 8 weeks

Hello Ash, Having an irregular menstrual cycle after abortion is common and becoming pregnant after abortion is also possible. Better take a pregnancy test 10 days after your missed period date to be sure.
Well Ash, the time interval is too short for you to conclude, you should wait few more days(about 10 days) to see if you will menstruate, before taking a PT

I was in a car accident April 30th 2016 didn’t get hurt besides being hit with the airbag and a few bruises, however I’m now a week late (5 days) no signs of pms or being pregnant besides super irritable, had cravings (fried chicken and sweets) tired got nauseous after the wreck a couple times, might be leaving a somethings out but there’s the general idea of what’s going on. I’ve been pregnant before (2013 lost both) didn’t know we was pregnant the first time had no signs, haven’t been late since fall of 2015 was 9 days late then and was having pregnancy symptoms then but took a laxative (day before) the next day later that evening started bleeding was super sick. Anyways was just wondering if the wreck might be the cause of me being late now? I track pms each month which has been on time I do have unprotected sex and was in the fertile window April 23rd to 28th last time I had sex before the accident
Hello Heather, Hope you are doing good. Well your being late could be because of that accident, probably a minor shock or stress would have caused you a delayed period. To be sure if you are pregnant or not take a pregnancy test 10 days after your missed period date. ATB!
Hey, I had a surgical abortion on the 15 Nov 2015, even today I haven’t got my period, it’s 6 months now. I took 3 months injection right after the abortion. Should I go see my Doc?
Hi, I had my last period march 16 2016 and haven’t had one since. My husband and I did not use any form of contraception. I have taken some hpt that I got off the internet and they were all negative. I have had some symptoms of pregnancy, but I am new to this ( first baby, if I am pregnant), so any advice would be helpful.
Hi Ashley, Hope this finds you in a good health. Negative HPT may or may not signify not being pregnant. If you are having symptoms of pregnancy like Tender, swollen breasts,Nausea with or without vomiting, Increased urination,Fatigue etc. However, these are just symptoms and not confirmation of pregnancy. If you are in doubt go consult a doctor.
I did my abortion on March 10 and still I don’t get my period…and I am 41 years old.
Hi, I had an abortion on April 1st and I had sex on April 26th but I took the plan B pill the next day. Should I be worried and when will I get my period?
The plan B pill is usually very effective once it is taken within 24 hours. Don’t be worried, your period may be a bit delayed because of the pill that you took but you may not be pregnant.
Hi
I had an abortion on Feb 23rd… My normal menstrual cycle is 33 days..but last month I got my periods one week late that’s 1 April… I thought its because of abortion. for may when I will I get my periods???
Hello Anu, After abortion it is quite usual to have late periods. For May, looking at your cycle you can get your periods by 4th. However, it is also seen that after abortion, first two periods could be delayed so do not worry.
Thanks for your comment…I had a severe vomiting while pregnant…I have a female baby, she is 3 years old. I am looking for another baby but I’m scared about that vomiting. Can you please tell me the solution for vomiting while pregnant?
I had a surgical abortion on 12th of April 2016 for 2 months pregnancy. I had unprotected sex on 21st of April. But taken an emergency pill on same day after 6 hours. My periods have not camed yet. Taken a pregnancy test on 30th of April and it is negative. Are there any chances for pregnancy I am very much worried. My periods have not camed yet. Feeling little pain from last 3-4 days in my waist. Please please reply.
Hello Ab, First of all stop worrying. Stress and depression are one of the reasons for late periods. So coming over to your query, it is actually normal of not having periods for 6-8 weeks after abortion.The primary reason for the delayed first period after abortion is that the body still has some pregnancy hormones and feels their effects for several weeks after abortion. Having pain, feeling dizzy,swollen breasts are some of the symptoms that are normal during this time. Infact, during your first period also you could feel the same. So nothing is wrong and even if you still feel confused consult a doctor for a peace of mind.
I had my menses on 24th to 27th of April, can I get pregnant if I had unprotected sex on 1st of May.
Hi, I had an abortion two years ago and I been trying to get pregnant now for some time. I have been using the lady timer to keep track of my periods this is the first time that my period has been off track I came on my period a day before the lady timer which was March 23 and my period stopped on the 8th of April. My next cycle was supposed to come on April 18 but never came, the lady timer told me to take a pregnancy test but still no baby. I would like to know what this means.
