Brief Answer:
This is common to have delayed periods till 3 months

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand you have fear of pregnancy.

It is common to have delayed periods for first 3 months after abortion. This is no chance of pregnancy. This is not related to pregnancy. This is just delayed periods post abortion and it will get regularised after 3 months.

Brief Answer:
Symptoms are due to hormonal variations.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

These changes you mentioned are related to hormones. Since there is excess progesterone hormone levels which cause these symptoms.

You might get periods soon. Thats why these symptoms.

There is no other problem. There is nothing to worry.
