When is it the right time to take a pregnancy test?
4 to 5 days after your missed period for the early pregnancy tests.
Ok but what happens if you had an abortion and think your pregenat and still have not gotten your period 7 weeks after the abortion then when is it right for you to take the test if you still have not gotten your pms
Well in that case.. did you go to a follow up exam within 2 weeks of a medical abortion or a follow-up visit within 2 to 4 weeks of a surgical abortion to confirm that you have not developed any complications?
After the procedure, it is normal...
To have some mild cramping for a few days. This can be minimized by taking an aspirin substitute or by using a heating pad. NOTE: aspirin and/or heating pad may increase bleeding.
To have some vaginal bleeding. This may vary from almost nothing to a considerable amount. The passing of some tissue and blood clots is not uncommon. Bleeding may continue for 3-4 weeks, with the flow stopping and starting. Remember, this is not a menstrual period.
To feel a little tired or "down" for a few days. Some women experience emotional distress following a termination of pregnancy procedure. If this happens to you, please be aware that counseling services are available. Speak to your health care provider about referral to an appropriate resource person or call the counseling center on your campus.
To have a menstrual period anywhere from 4-8 weeks after the procedure. If you are starting to use birth control pills following the abortion, you should have a normal menstrual period during the fourth week.
Call your doctor now or go to the emergency room if:
You are bleeding more than you ordinarily do during your menstrual period or you have bleeding that lasts longer than 2 weeks. You may pass clots, but this is not serious unless it is a large amount.
You have vaginal discharge that has increased in amount or that smells bad.
You do not have a menstrual period within 6 weeks of the surgery.
You feel lightheaded or faint.
You feel sad, tearful, hopeless, or you are unable to sleep.
You are sick to your stomach and cannot drink fluids.
You have pain that does not go away when you take your pain pills.
You have a fever over 100 °F(38 °C).
You have pain, tenderness, swelling, or redness in your legs, especially the back of your calf.
You have trouble passing urine or stool, especially if you have mild pain or swelling in your lower abdomen.
Watch closely for changes in your health, and be sure to contact your doctor if:
You do not get better as expected.
You have any new symptoms.
You have any problems with your medicine.
You have questions or concerns.
