    No period after an abortion
    I had a surgical abortion done on January 31, 07 and have not had a period (spotting for 3 days). It has been almost 3 months and I am getting scared. I called my doctor and she said everything was fine. She said the same after my 2 week check up. After the procedure and they said I was fine but I still have had no period. What should we do I can't afford to pay for another visit to the doctor.

    It takes a while for your periods to regulate after being pregnant. Whether you carry to term and deliver or terminate, you still have hormones in your body that have to reach your normal levels. Since I don't know how far along you were when you chose to terminate, it is hard to say.

    However, listen to your doctor. She knows you better than we do here on the internet where all is anonymous. She knows your medical history, we do not.

    It can take 6 months to maybe a year for some gals to get a regular period again.

    You did get on birth control after the abortion I hope? This could also be causing your lack of periods.

    Were you having unprotected sex immedately? I know they recommend that you avoid sexual congress after an abortion for a few weeks. They've inflicted trauma on all your lady bits and introducing a penis to the situation is all bad.

    When did you become sexually active and what birth control are you on? Depending on the birth control you could be months between periods.

    I had done some reading on that form of birth control. IT sounds like that implant has the side effect of removing your period after a few months of use. There was some information about how long you should wait until you have unprotected sex while using this rod.

    First off I would do some more reading up on your birthcontrol. You seem to be lacking a lot knowledge about it and how it affects your body. You should probably talk to your doctor about the situation. You're probably not pregnant but missing your period because of the birth control. I can say that with absolute certainty because I know of people on this site who've used three different methods of birth control and still managed to get pregnant.

    Talk to your doctor.
