Hello :)

I'm sorry you had to go through such an ordeal. It can take 6-8 weeks for your period to start again, possibly a little longer. For the pain, it's best you call or see your doctor. It's unlikely they'll need to do another procedure. Maybe a pelvic exam, but after several procedures there should be no need for another one. The pain can be caused by various things. It could be bacteria from a sexually transmitted infection that was there and was able to easily get inside because of the dilation of the cervix, or another type of infection. Or it's a negative effect of the procedures, so it's best to see your doctor to make sure everything is ok.
