Its very urgent.
Answer Hi Julie,
Thanks for your question. It is possible that your period is delayed after an abortion. This is somewhat common. Why did your doctor advise you to terminate your pregnancy in the first place? I don't recommend any drug to terminate your pregnancy/having an abortion. Sex with a condom is not really "protected" sex. You can get pregnant even with a condom or even with any form of hormonal birth control. The only 100% effective way of preventing pregnancy is abstinence.
I would advise you to get a free pregnancy test by finding a center in your area if you are in the United States. http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you are not in the U.S. perhaps you could email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and I can find you a resource.
