Period after a termination

[Sophiebelsmum]

Hello

I've never posted on here before but looking for some advice on this topic.

I had a termination at 14 weeks due to severe complications with the baby. This was nearly 12 weeks ago and I still haven't had a period. It seems from your comments on previous threads that this could be "normal" but I've been really worried. I desperately want to be pregnant again but I'm definitely not at the moment.

Very sorry for all of you who have experienced a sad loss too. It's a really awful thing to go through.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

So sorry for your loss , sending you lots of hugs.

I think it can take quite a while, and 12 weeks could be normal, but I know it doesn't help when you really want to be pregnant again.

I have read something about someone in a similar position who was prescribed something to "kick start" her periods, I don't know if I'm right about this, but could be worth seeing your GP about it to see if that's an option?

Thank you so much for answering so quickly. I think I will make an appointment with my GP. I've been putting the brave face thing on until now!

Hi Sophie,

I've just written you a reply on the other thread you posted on. Yes, you can kick start your period with a course of progesterone. I hope your GP can help you.

Hi Sophie,

So sorry that you have had to go through this - I had a termination at 15 weeks in April, and my period took 10 weeks to return. I was really worried, but was told that it could take even longer. I did have an internal scan though, and they were able to tell me that I'd already ovulated and once I know AF was on its way I did relax.

Do you have a gynaecologist that you could go to? Might be worth getting a scan perhaps to see if they can see what's going on?
