Question
Hi,
I had an abortion on the 8th May and the initial blood flow was for 2 weeks. I has some blooding / periods on 30th May for about 3 days. It is the 5th July and I have not started my periods regularly. I took a pregnancy test and it came positive but the line was very faint. Does that mean I am pregnant. Please advice.
Hi Dear,
you are not pregnant. It takes some time for the pregnancy hormones to come back to the normal level.
Periods after an abortion may stay irregular for a considerable time. So be careful to use safe contraceptives.
Bye for now, dr Shan
