Question
I had an abortion 3 weeks ago started my birth control a few days after .. well I finished my bc pills 3-4 days ago and I haven't started my period yet? I wasn't sure if it would take extra time for it to start cause the doctor said it would take 4-6 weeks after the abortion. So should I go ahead and start my new pack of bc on Sunday

Answer
Hi Karin,

I found your question in the question pool and it looks like no one has responded. I'm not a medical professional so I advise you to check with your personal physician. Let me know if you did start your period and how the birth control pills worked out. Do you have any problems with side effects from the pill? Or if you need anyone to talk to about any feelings you might have about the abortion, you may email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
