  1. I had an abortion on the 9th of March I bled up until the 23rd of March.. When my period should start?

  2. Hello I’m Mariama
    I took abortion pills on the 6th March and started bleeding that evening..I bled for about a week and removed some brown discharge…It’s been four weeks now I have not seen my period..My doctor told me my cervix was empty..I have been having stress even though there is nothing wrong with me..At times I feel like I want to see my period but due to the stress I don’t.. Instead I experience some watery white discharge..My worry is was how I felt before I found out that I was pregnant.. Could it be that I’m pregnant or am I just in a rush?

    1. Hello Mariama, relax and let nature take its course with your body. Your period can return anywhere between 3-6 weeks.

  10. Hi,am Sandy,i had a surgical abortion on the 20th of March,had sex on the 1st of April without protection,its a month now i had the abortion and my period hasn’t come yet,could it be that am pregnant again?

    1. Hi there Sandy, it could be either you are pregnant or that your period had just not returned yet since your abortion.

  11. hi,
    i was 6 weeks pregnant when i had my abortion on march 10th. since then i have not gotten my period, its been 7 weeks since the abortion and 13 in total. i have had sex twice unprotected. Could i still be pregnant? or got pregnant again? or could something be wrong ? i was told the pregnancy hormones stay n you for a while so to take a test is pointless cause it will come out positive

  15. I had an abortion, surgical procedure, on Tuesday, April 10. There was really no pain, cramping or bleeding the day of. But then the light spotting/bleeding has been going on. I was told to begin my BC that following Sunday. It’s the 26 & today i began bleeding very heavy & cramping horribly. I’ve gone thru 3 pads in an hour. Soaked. With Clots here & there. Idk if this is just my first menstrual cycle after or if i should keep an eye out.

  16. Hi I had an abortion by manual vacuum aspiration method in November 2017 , my period returned after 6weeks . it started being scanty to compare with the quantity before the MVA , then this month of April the period number of days reduced from 5 days to 3 days and am not using any form of pills . Please can you advice me on what could be the cause.
    Thanks

    1. Hello Sophia, menstrual changes are normal after an abortion. Things should return to normal sooner or later.

  17. hello
    I had the medical abortion in nov 2017 took 6-7 weeks for period to return my period were on and off light until last week came back normal period after only a week prior to that I had a light period . im trying to conceive and hoping the abortion hasn’t made me infertile im hoping that last period was it gone back to normal? does it usualy take a few months for your cycle to go back to normal? ive been feeling pretty unwell lately

    1. Hello Olivia, yes it might take a while for your cycle to go back to normal after an abortion.

  18. Hello, I’m Alexandra
    I didn’t really take a test to be sure if I was actually pregnant but with my body changes I knew I was pregnant because I start having short breath, stomach and waist aches …..so I took misoprostol 2 varginally and 2 orally. I actually felt cramps,dizzness, and weakness but didn’t bleed till about 6hours later I didn’t actually bleed I just had blood clots for an hour and that’s all…… I don’t know if I wasn’t pregnant or I didn’t administer it well… And I haven’t seen my period
