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

Hi, I had a medical abortion early in June but stil bleeding even today. Should I be worried?
Hi Tinah, Some bleeding after abortion is normal, like 2 to 3 weeks, sometimes up to 4 weeks depending on the type of abortion you got (surgical, chemical, etc). But if the bleeding continues after that then you should see a doctor to get a proper treatment.

Yes you can get pregnant normal. And it is not going to affect your health. But you should go for a PT 14 days after your intercourse.

Hi I had a medical abortion using misopristol a month ago with heavy bleeding and muscular cramps. But it’s been three days before, I got my first period with similar bleeding and pain. On doing ultrasound, I came to know that there is a small sac like structure of size 4 cm without foetal poles and cardiac activity inside my uterus. On doing hcg test, the result came positive. Now I’m confused whether it is a foetus or it’s remnant after abortion. Please help.
Hi I had abortion on 18th June and I had heavy bleeding for two weeks and 3 days. I had sex on 5th day and after sex I did bleed. Can I get pregnant again? When am I likely to have my periods?
Hello Mwansa A.
Sex immediately after an abortion does not mean you can’t be pregnant. You should go for PT 14 days after your intercourse. however, if you are not pregnant you should have your period after your abortion between 4weeks to 8weeks

Hi – read the studies – it is not uncommon to ovulate directly following an abortion.
I had an abortion in the 22nd of June, bled for a week, had unprotected sex 2 days after but took a contraceptive. 6 days after having had unprotected sex again, can I get pregnant?
Hello Bee
Although your menstruation may not come for 1 month or 2 months after your abortion, you can ovulate (be fertile) at any time after the abortion. This means you can get pregnant right away, even if you are still having some light bleeding. If you want to avoid becoming pregnant right away, it is very important to use contraceptives if you don’t want to get pregnant again.

Hello please, I had a medical abortion in June and 2 weeks after I did a pregnancy test which was one deep line and a thin one which means it’s positive, but 2 weeks after the test I am having my period. Please, is it safe because I used to feel all the signs and symptoms of pregnancy before my period came.
Although your menstruation may not come for several weeks after your abortion, you can ovulate (be fertile) at any time after the abortion. This means you can get pregnant right away, even if you are still having some light bleeding. If you want to avoid becoming pregnant right away. As regards the test, I will advise you neglect the strip test, it could be an example of false positive test. You could try it a week after or 2 weeks after.

May 30 I had a medical abortion. After two weeks we had unprotected sex. I was worried that I missed my period so I took ascorbic acid 1000mg every two hours for 4 days. I still have not had my period. I used a pregnancy kit today but it was but negative. Is it true that I am not pregnant or is there a chance that I still have my period after a week?
I would suggest that you consult your doctor on this matter.
I had a medical abortion on the 15th of January were now in July and the reason is because I suffer from depression and I have bipolar and the social services would be involved.. anyway I’ve not had a period since I’m really scared as its been 7 months now I’m really worried that it will stop me having children in the future.. bearing in mind it’s my first abortion could there be something wrong with me I’ve been to the doctors I’ve had a blood test and I’m having an ultrasound scan..
When the period will return after an abortion varies from woman to woman depending on how far along the pregnancy had proceeded before it was aborted. Normally, the period returns four to 12 weeks after an abortion and even if there are no periods after this time, it could be because of stress, health issues like PCOS, or your body might be taking some more time to heal. If you feel something is definitely wrong you can seek a doctors opinion.

I took an abortion pills on 17 of June and I bleed for one week only and since then my stomach has making some noise especially at the lower side, does that shows successful abortion or complication pls
Hi, bleeding after abortion depends on person to person , so 1 week bleeding could be normal. Your lower abdominal noises could be because of swelling or some other problem which is sometimes possible after abortion. I would suggest you should consult a doctor.
