Question
Hi, I had a medical Jan 9 (the needle) the 14th got the pills, and it all went well and was told the procedure worked. And now I am wondering when I will get my period as I have not had any bleeding since the 14th to 19th of Jan. I am quite concerned and have not had any intercourse since then and don't no what the hold up is, they never told me either when it would come, just not to have sex or bath.
Hi Le Dawn,
the doc should have told you that the abortion disrupts the hormone balance in your body for up to 3 month.
So do not worry. Just let "him" use condoms. Fertility can be restored 14 days after the abortion. So you were wise not to have unprotected sex. Take a nice bath too. No problem anymore.
Bests,
dr Shan
