I travel back to my home country and so i cant go back to the doctor who help me with the abortion. And i cant go to other doctor cause i dont want my family to know this. Is this actually normal?? Is the travel affecting anything??

Answer
Hi Chu,

The abortion could possibly change your cycle for a while. Sometimes you don't get menstruation the first month. Also, stress can be a possibility of altering your cycle and travel also. If you don't have your period in a couple of months, then you can get worried but try not to worry right now because it hasn't been very long really. If you were still pregnant, you would get some pregnancy symptoms. I would like you to email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and keep in touch with me. That's my private email address for you to email me personally. Also, if you have any psychological, mental or spiritual problems after abortion, email me as well. I do free counseling online because these kind of problems are somewhat common. Hope to hear from you soon with an update.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
