Answer
Hello, zainab,

Well, any kind of abortion often messes up a woman's cycle. If you had had an exam to begin with that showed you weren't carrying a baby, then they could have pursued the cause of your endometrial problem (hyperplasia?) As things stand now, what you really need is for a doctor who doesn't want to do an abortion on every woman he sees, but really sees you as a person who deserves good medical care. Abortion is unethical. Nobody will be able to tell you over the internet what is causing your problem. You need hormone tests, and possibly to be examined for infection (common with manual procedures), or scar tissue. So please find a decent doctor and let him figure out what is wrong. Good luck, and please let me know what you find out.

Expertise

I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of eleven. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues. I am not a doctor, but I have done extensive medical research, so I may be able to help with information. I am female. When you write, if you are or were pregnant, please tell me how far along you were or are, and if you have had an abortion, please tell me what kind. Thank you.

Experience

I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.

Education/Credentials
I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.
