Answer
Hi Christina,

It still could be another week or longer before you get a regular cycle. When you have an abortion, there is no guarantee that everything will become normal again for a time. So don't get too stressed out yet and just relax. If you don't get a period by the end of May, then I suggest that you go to a doctor (not the abortion provider). Maybe your regular doctor or a gynecologist. Take care of your health-it's of the utmost importance. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you want to talk about post abortion healing.
