What Causes Irregular Menstrual Cycles Post Termination Of Pregnancy?

I am 28 years old--I had a natural birth in 2008 and then miscarried in Dec 2014. On Sept 19 2015 I had a surgical abortion I then experienced recovery bleeding for exactly two weeks then from 11/16 to 11/12 i had my normal period but I have not had a period since then and it is now 12/19 is it normal for your cycle to vary after abortion ??

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
Thank you for the query. I have read & understood your query.
The menstrual cycles tend to be irregular for few months after MTP.. due to hormonal imbalance caused by sudden removal of pregnancy
.Similarly once the regular menses set in, there is regular ovulation & so many ladies tend to conceive after MTP.
So the delay you have might be due to irregularity or conception( in case you are not taking any precaution )
You should go for - Home pregnancy test after 8 days delay in periods.. to confirm/ exclude pregnancy.
Thanks.
