"Periods delayed after abortion"
Hello Doctor, my last abortion was completed 1 month and 5 days ago. Today morning, I did a home pregnancy test and the result is completely negative. I do not have any physical symptoms like abdominal pain or bleeding right now. Due to some personal family reasons, I want to start my periods as soon as possible. Please advise me a safe medicine to get my periods. Thank you."

Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your period hasn't returned yet, but at five weeks post-abortion you're still inside the normal window. Most periods restart within four to six weeks, and your negative pregnancy test with no pain or bleeding is a reassuring sign.
Next Steps
If you want your period sooner for personal reasons, ask your gynaecologist to check your uterus has settled and consider a short hormonal course to bring it on safely.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if you get fever, heavy bleeding, or new pain, since these need prompt attention.
