Brief Answer:
Please, there is no urgency. I recommend you monitor a little longer!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this absent menses and all the inconveniences this has caused you. Given the abortion that you had recently, there is no way to predict when the menses would actually show up as the cycle has been altered. I will like you to exercise patience and wait longer before seeking any medical attention. Also, there is no reason to induce the menses right now because there is no problem right now.

In all, observe longer. No worries and seek no immediate medical attention right now.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
