Post-Abortion Experience: Symptoms, Bleeding, and Recovery


Question
Hello. I'm 14 yrs old and i had sex wit my bf. After my missed period i checked on a home preg test strip, and it showed positive. I kept checking multiple times for 3-4 days to make sure. It was still positive. Then i took the abortion pills, first 3 pills of mifepristone and after 72 hrs i took misoprost. Immediately i began shivering and pain was there in my abdomen. Bleeding began and went on for about a week it was jelly like with clots and more than usual bleeding as well. It slowed and stopped after about a week. Now its been exactly one month since the bleeding stopped. i have not got my periods yet. I live in India, Goa where i cant go for a test or anythin lik that. So how to know if my abortion was complete and when will my periods start? please help me since i cant talk about this to anyone, incl my parents!
Pls help....

Answer
Your period takes up to 8 weeks to come.  If it has been 4 weeks, the pregnancy test should be negative.  If it is then the abortion is complete.  Please do not have unprotected sex again.  You should have your partner use condoms.  This site may help.
