Making the decision to go through with an abortion it is often a stressful one. There are many reasons why that decision is made whether it’s due to the health of the mother, learning about the health of the baby, and also that it’s just not the right time to bring a child into the world. Whatever the situation is, it’s not one for others to judge, that is your decision and whatever you choose to do, it’s right for you. Because it’s a stressful situation, there could be an effect on your upcoming menstrual cycle. As explored in previous
Menstrual Cycle After Abortion
Hi i had my abortion on the 4th of February, i have been receiving my periods non stop it’s been a month now. What went wrong or is there something wrong with my body? Seriously i need help
Hi. It is possible to bleed for 1-3 weeks after an abortion. How heavy is the bleeding? If you are concerned you should contact your doctor to make sure everything is alright.

It is possible to not get your period for 4-8 weeks after an abortion. I would suggest that you wait before you worry. There is always a chance of pregnancy when having unprotected sex.
Thank you very much…as you said i got my chums couple of weeks back.
Cheers

I am 22yrs, I had an abortion on 19th Jan, I saw a little blood on 24th Jan for like 2 days and ever since then I have not experience my normal period. But I still observe changes like swollen abdomen, my nipples still hard and my breast is bigger, I vomit recently, though stopped for a while. I am scared could it likely be it that am having a pregnant. Pleas I need your help.
Hello. It is normal to still have pregnancy hormones and no period for 4-6 weeks after an abortion. If you are having sex you should use contraception to reduce the chances of pregnancy. Otherwise it sounds as if you are experiencing the after effects of the abortion. If you are still concerned you should contact your doctor.
I was three weeks pregnant when i had abortion and i got my period a week later the first day was 27 jan and i had sex again at 22 feb which supposed to be safe period but now i missed my period again… Is this normal??? Could i be pregnant again??
Hello Lolo, Pregnancy depends on a number of factors. In this case, I would suggest you to please consult to a gynecologist.

Hello. I am 20 years old. On 29th jan my fiancee and I found out that I was 3 weeks pregnant and we opted for an medical abortion. I took my first pill on 30th jan and started bleeding a little, I took rest of the pills on 1st feb and started bleeding heavily within 40 mins and after 2 hours I have passed out a slimmy blood clot and another blood clot the day after. I continued to bleed till 8th and then a little spotting was there for 2 days. After 4-5 days my body was back to normal but today i.e. 24th feb I again started bleeding for 2 hours and then the flow suddenly stopped. I have all the PMS. I am really confused because the doctor said that I will get my menstruation about 4-6 week after the abortion but I started bleeding within 15 days. Is this normal? I am really scared. Am I fine?
I think this is fairly normal, but if you are concerned I would seek a doctors advice.
Hai my last period was at Jan 20, and the February month my period Is missing.. so I check my pregnancy test on Feb 23 morning and shocked I’m pregnant. At that day night I go to hospital and take abortion pills and misoprostol tablets.. After 2 hours I had severe bleeding.but I have only one day bleeding.. I’m confused my pregnancy is Over or not
Is it advisable to have sex from the beginning of your period and on the day your period ends after an abortion…is there a possibility that one can be pregnant.?
Hi. I have been having irregular periods after taking the abortion pills. My period lasts for 3-4 days before taking the pill. But now it lasts for only 2 days and not really heavy like it used to. Please am I safe?
Mish, I’m sorry for the pain you are feeling but I do agree with you, I won’t feel like my true self until I get my period back and get my cycles in order. Stay strong

on 25 jan i had bleeding for only 4 – 5 days
i had consulted my doctor she told me it’s not my period
now it’s 22 feb i had missed my periods again
why is this so?? & what should i do? ?
Hello Ann. Your regular period will not begin for 3-6 weeks after the abortion. If you have not had any unprotected sex since your abortion, I would suggest you continue to consult with and follow your doctor’s instructions. Good luck!
Hello I had a medical abortion on Jan 29. I went for my folow up scan on Feb 11 and everything was clear. When will my period return? I also took a Pregnancy test 2 days after the scan and it still show positive so when will the test have a negative reading. The doctor told me it could show positive for at least 4 weeks. Is this correct?
Yes this is correct, check our FAQ for more information about your case.
hello. i am 24 years old. i had abortion at 6 feb, 2016 when i found that i am 3 weeks pregnant after conceiving.. i took my pills at 7 feb and start bleeding within 2 hours… it was flow of blood and after 4 hours almost i have passed a clot like something full of blood.. i dont know but may be it was gestation sac. after that my bleeding gets lighter in few hours. next day i was just spotting. but tuesday and wednesday i have faced heavy bleeding then back to normal by Thursday and finally over at sunday.. at Tuesday right after 8 days i go for ultrasound and doctor told me that you are perfectly passed the pregnancy. but now the problem is, i am not believing it, my body is like i am still pregnant. my belly and abdomen still look large and breasts are hurting with sharp pains. also i went thru sudden headaches and also little cramps. i am really very confused about it and its somehow killing me ????
Your body still has the pregnancy hormones and it usually takes 4-6 weeks for you to fully return back to normal. I too had an abortion on the 11th and felt the same way you did even after my follow up appointment and everything was cleared out. I still feel pregnant in a way but I keep reminding myself that I’m not. Don’t despair its just going to take a while to fully feel normal again. I hope you start feeling better soon, take care.
Well I hope to get my normal periods after that I will believe that I am normal now. it was seriously awful experience for me. I can’t forget that little spot like baby in scan :'(
Hi Mish, I am sorry that you are experiencing this pain and I am sure it is not easy. You do have to give the symptoms of pregnancy some time to pass. Pregnancy hormones can remain in the body for 4-6 weeks after an abortion. Just hang in there…it will pass. Good Luck to you!
thank you tramble for your concern 🙂 do pray for me:)
