Hi i need your help,
I did an arbotion 4 months ago and since from then i havent had my periods
all i do is to spot everyday since the arbortion, i want to know if there is something wrong that they did when they were doing the procedure, i am very worried about my well being and i want to know if this will cause any problems with me giving birth or falling pregnant in the future, and again i want to know if there is something that can be done for me to have my periods back and is there anyone i can consult with this matter.

 Hello,
You should be able to access the doctor who performed the abortion about any post-surgical questions. If not, see another family practice or OB/GYN. Sometimes taking birth control pills helps regulate the periods by stabilizing the hormones. This would also be a good idea to prevent future unwanted pregnancies. Like all surgical procedures, a history of abortion (especially multiple abortions) has been shown to sometimes interfere in future pregnancies because scarring can occur but this risk is considered low. Chances are good you will have no long-term physical effects.
In the future it would be good to practice safe, protected sex, preferably with condoms to help prevent sexually transmitted infection as well as pregnancy. If you have an "accident" you could rely on plan B - emergency contraception. Both techniques will be better than continuing to abort fetuses.
Best wishes.

Hello,
Your chances are very slim. Taken correctly birth control pills are very reliable with a very low failure rate. With perfect use, it's only about 0.1% (one in 1000 women will eventually become pregnant while taking it. But with typical use (missing pills, etc.) 1-5 in 100 women may become pregnant while on the pill.
Whenever you are worried due to no period or symptoms, take a home pregnancy test, especially if you missed two or more pills during the month.
Best wishes.
