Question

i am 24 years old.
i had an abortion the month of march 2009. i had what i thought was my first regular period after the abortion, on April 17, 2009. it is now march 27, 2009 and i have not had the start of another period. i am worried something may be wrong. is it normal to skip a period after a surgical abortion. is there something blocking? help......

Answer
Hello Ashley,

Thanks for your question. Yes, it's possible and probably common for your period to be abnormal after an abortion. It's also possible if you have been sexually active for you to be pregnant again. Did you have your post abortion checkup?

I would recommend that you consult your personal physician about this question and any other health questions you might have. If you have any psychological, emotional or spiritual problems after your abortion, please contact me as I provide free post abortion healing counseling.

You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and hope to hear from you soon.
