Question: hi i have some serious concern regarding my health.
i got pregnant in march this year, got it aborted through medicines (cytotec) i took 2 doses as the 1st dose failed to work. till this month my monthly cycle (periods) was abosuletly fine. i was supposed to have periods on 21st of XXXXXXX 2014. till date i havent got my periods. I did pregnancy test on 26th or 27th of XXXXXXX it was negative. i took an ecp on 28th so periods could come. i have realized after this i m not going to affect my cycle anymore and no more unprotected sex. i used to have periods always on time. Can you please guide me health repercussions because of abortion pills and ecp? have i done something terrible to my health? plus what if i m pregnant again? can i get it aborted through medicines again? i will never affect my cycle after this.
