Question
Okay, I received an abortion Aug. 4. And I might have had a accident after my 2 week recovery, but I was wondering if I should wait it out to see if I get my period. But when do you normally get your period. Its already been 5 weeks since the abortion. Just a little worried.
Hi dear Michelle,
if you had read a few of the answers to the other ladies, you would have seen that over 50% of the questions are about irregular periods after an abortion. This is very common and it might take half a year for everything is as regular as before. If you use the contraceptive pill is regular much earlier again. With Depo it might stay irregular forever.
So: No worry !
