I had an abortion using misoprostol alone in October 25th ( i live in a country where abortion is illegal). I started bleeding the same day i took the medication and had very painful cramps. I also passed a large clot. I stoped bleeding 6 days after, so i went to the doctor and she made me a vaginal ultrasound. She didnt find pregnancy tissue and my cervix and endometrium were closed. I no longer felt the extreme fatigue and breast soreness. Yet, i'm very worried because it's been 7 weeks and i still dont get my period.
I made two quantitative pregnancy test. First, at 4 weeks and the hgc levels were at 3.14 and at 6 weeks were at 0.100 I'm very concerned because abortion with misoprostol alone is only 80% effective. But i guess my hgc are too low. What should i do?

You need to go back to the doctor. It could be that your hormone levels are still high enough to prevent menstruation, but it could be something more serious that only your doctor can diagnose with a physical exam.

Hi Mia. Ummm I really don't think the attempted abortion is going to be detected by a doctor. So maybe you should go see one. I will try to research this some more but you should really check into this. Honestly @<hidden> this point you are playing with fire and if you are pregnant you could have done something to make this even more of a problem.

OOPS! SORRY EVERYONE! I REOPENED THIS THREAD NOT KNOWING HOW OLD IT WAS!!!

From my own experience:
i had the surgical procedure on june 5 (at 5 weeks) and i did not take the pill after that, just waited to see when my body will go back to normal.. the doctor told me it would take 4-8 weeks until i get my period again.
i did a pregnancy test on june 18 (2 weeks after the abortion) and it was still showing "positive" due to the hormones leftover.

I my period on july 1st, which makes it exactly 27 days after the abortion... which surprised me nicely because i normally used to have it every 25 - 27 days. So no big delays there!!

But I guess it's a unique situation for every girl.
P.S.: don't let anyone bring you down for your decision, it's YOUR body after all.
