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
I had a medical abortion in November 2015, I was 6-7 weeks pregnant. My periods are still irregular for the first time in my life – sometimes at 15 days and other times at 24-27 days. They are only lasting a day or 2 with not much flow but very very dark red blood. I am worried that I am no longer ovulating and this may be a symptom of something more serious than just my body taking 8 months to recover! I am 27 years old and scared I may have ruined my fertility.
You are experiencing your body’s reaction to the abortion. It is very stressful to have this done to your body. Many women do not have their normal cycle back for months. There is no way anyone can tell you for sure what is going on. It is best to go to your doctor and have them make sure.
hi.. am joy 25 years old i had an abortion 1o days ago and i had have sex today what exactly the chance for me to have another pregnant as an outcome of that practice????
You have to speak with your doctor. You really shouldn’t be having sex so soon after an abortion. Your body is likely going to be very stressed out. Most doctors do recommend taking it easy, I am shocked your doctor did not. I would call and ask.
I had a medicine abortion on 20 April 2016. It’s been 6 weeks and i haven’t seen my menses yet. I’m really worried. is my pregnancy terminated or not??
You are likely experiences a delay. This is very common. An abortion may seem like a simple procedure but your have to keep in mind that your body still believes it is pregnant. Some women do not get their period for months after this has been done. Focus on eating a good diet and limiting stress.
Hi, I had an abortion by taking pills on the 23rd of February this year,the blood flew for some days. after that my period came out normally on march and April. But since May till now I haven’t seen my period. I have done a pregnancy test, but it’s negative. Could it mean I can’t see my period again? Pls help me out.
did you have unprotected sex in the meantime? there could be many causes of a missed period. please read this post for more information
Hi
I had an abortion 8 days ago. It was a wanted pregnancy but I had severe Pre Natal Depression. I had no idea that existed and had no chance to seek professional help. I sank into this black hole of impending doom and only termination was an option.
I now see things better and know that I still want to add to my family and will like to get pregnant again.
i am stressed that things will not be back to normal…when will ovulation occur?
You sound very stressed out. One thing that can wreck ovulation is stress. Not to mention, you had an abortion only 2 weeks ago. I would suggest trying to relax and working on your emotions and mental state before considering having another child. No one can tell you when it will happen, just take care of your body and be healthy until then.
Hi I had a d and c in March and I have not seen my period as at June 3 is it normal
I had an abortion March 7th, I have had periods that are all on time but I feel like my hormones are out of control and the PMS is insane. I am moody cranky irritable and the bleeding has been so heavy I have to use a super plus and a pad and change it out every hour or two for the first day. This is my third period like this. 🙁
The changes in your cycle are normal after an abortion. Your blood flow is very heavy though – you may be losing too much blood and this can affect your blood flow. It’s best to visit your doctor for an assessment.
I had unprotected sex ten days after a medical abortion. Will I get pregnant since the blood ceased 2days before the sex.
Physical recovery after a miscarriage is quick and takes only a few days. After about a month, your body will be working normally and your menstrual cycles will begin once again. It is possible to become pregnant during your first menstrual cycle after your miscarriage or abortion.
Hello, I did a surgical abortion on the 4th of May and I had my period straight away after the termination. I’ve bled from the 4th till now…I’m starting a 5th week on my periods, is that normal?
Hello. What you’re experiencing is not normal – you must consult your surgeon for a follow-up visit. You are bleeding for too long.
I am 26 years old have had 7 abortions. Can I still get pregnant and have a lot of kids in future?
It is possible for you to get pregnant again as long as both you and your partner are fertile and you have no underlying health issues.
Had an abortion on April 24 surgically…got my period on May 29…there is a heavy flow like I’m changing 4 pads daily. Usually this is not what I experience every month. Should I be worried about the flow?
The effects of an abortion include bleeding, cramps or a vaginal discharge. If the bleeding is excessive you must revisit the doctor that performed the procedure for an assessment.
Hi, I had an evacuation on the 18th of March and until now I have not had my period. I am confused about this what do I do?
Typically, it takes at least four to eight weeks after an abortion for a period to return. Give it some more time to come.
HEllo everyone, had a miscarriage the 9th of march 2016, after which I had my first period on the 18th of April 2016. My 2nd period came again on the 14th of May. Now my problem is that nowadays my body feels warm most of the time and my stomach grumbs. I don’t know what is happening to me.
Again I had unprotected sex on the 29th of May as my fiance and I are trying to be pregnant. I want to be pregnant again. Any suggestions will help
Hello, Yes there are chances of getting pregnant after abortion. The symptoms you are telling might not actually be of pregnancy. To make getting pregnant easier your medical and physical health is very important so dont take too much stress and take proper diet and exercise.
Good evening. I had an abortion on the 21st of April and this is 6 weeks of an abortion but I have not seen my menses. What do I do and what might be the cause? Thanks friends. I need an answer.
Don’t worry about your delayed period – in most instances, a menstrual cycle is expected within 4 to 8 weeks after an abortion.
I had my abortion on the 30th of April 2016 which was medical abortion. Since then I haven’t seen my period.
This is normal, it will take 4 to 8 weeks for a period to return after an abortion.
Hi. Abortion is illegal in our country. May I ask someone who has already experienced abortion if it is really painful? Even if it has an anesthesia? Thanks for the response. Me and my Girlfriend are scared because we’re planning to abort if ever she is positively pregnant. As of now she is 9 days delay on her mens and we’ll try home pregnancy test. Thanks a lot!
Hi! I suggest you guys make a visit to the doctor ASAP. She is already 9 days late, it could be something else, but the chances are she is most likely pregnant. I sense that having a baby is not in your plans, in which case its best to see a doctor as soon as possible. You’ll be advised an adoption procedure based on far along you are. Any abortion is terrible, especially for a woman. It’s painfully, both physically and emotionally, she will need time to recover. As someone who went through it, I’ll say this: THINK IT THROUGH. Because there is nothing I regret more. If you two love each other, you should consider yourselves lucky. You’ve been blessed with the greatest gift one could think of. Some people try to conceive for 10, 15, 20 years with no result. I don’t know your circumstances, but should you choose to keep the baby, I guarantee you’ll be blessed with means to raise it. It will be hard in the beginning but eventually things will settle themselves.
