Post-MVA Period Delay: What to Expect & When to Worry

Question
I have gone through Manual Vacuum Aspiration procedure on 21st of last month. I don't have any bleeding afterwards, had a cramping sensation after  had intercourse(which is been done with proper protection) last week. Its been 34 days now, and I still have not gone through my period. What should I do?

Answer
It has just been almost 5 weeks.  It usually takes 4-6 weeks and sometimes 8 weeks before you get a period.  You may perform a pregnancy test now.  It should be negative.  If it is then you should just wait for your period.  If it is positive, you need to have an ultrasound.
