Post-Abortion Cycle: Understanding Menstrual Patterns After Surgical Abortion

Question
Hello,
I had a surgical abortion 4 weeks ago exactly and as I was told to start the pill the Sunday after the procedure, I am now in the week waiting to get my first period after the procedure.  I know that it is common to get your period late after an abortion procedure, but I'm wondering if it is still common to get it late if you have been taking birth control pills. Do I start the next pack on Sunday even if I haven't recieved my first period since the procedure?  I have been extremely careful to take the pill exactly at the same time but I have had intercourse a couple times with my boyfriend, no condom used.  I'm very much worried that I'm pregnant again, SO SOON, and would love some insight on what I can expect with my period. How long?

Thank you so much.

Answer
I'm so sorry that I just got your question. So what did you do about your situation?

I cannot really tell you about your period. Every woman is different so there is really no idea what to expect. You should probably be more careful if you don't want to get pregnant again. Did you have your post abortion checkup yet? Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know how you are doing.
