Post-Abortion Period Irregularities: What to Expect & When to Seek Help

Question
ijust waan ask when my normal period returns.. i've had an abortion pill last february 4, 2012, it was a complete one and up to this moment still haven't my period.. is this normal?

Answer
Hello, jena,

Taking those pills isn't normal. They are poisonous. So nothing that happens afterward is normal, either. Some women bleed uncontrollably for weeks after taking them, and may even bleed to death. Other people have an experience like yours. Nobody can tell you how long YOUR body will take to heal from the damage the pills did to it. There is no set time for this; each woman is different. You haven't said how far along you were when you took the pills. That is important. You haven't said how you know the abortion was complete, but if you tell me that, it will help me to understand your situation. As for when your period will return, you will just have to be patient. In the meantime, please be aware that you could be fertile before your period returns. If you are not married and want to live without the fear of pregnancy, you need to stop having sex. You deserve better than abortion. I hope your body will be back to normal soon. Just try to be patient with yourself, and don't take any more chances with your life. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Take care.
