Answer
Hi Sasha,

Thanks for your question. When you have an abortion, it disrupts your natural cycle and so things take a while to get back to normal. I'm not a medical doctor so I would advise you to see your physician. Did you go to your post abortion appointment? It is really important for you to do that. Did you wait the required amount of time before you were sexually active again? Also when and why did you take the morning after pill? For information about the morning after pill, go to http:/www.optionline.org and click on "morning after pill". Please ask a followup question with the answers to my questions and/or email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
Hope to hear from you soon.
