No ovulation after abortion?

[mae1010]

I had an abortion 7 weeks ago, I was 6 weeks pregnant. Everything went fine, there was very little pain, very little bleeding (about three days) I got my period exactly 6 weeks later. before the abortion I had a very regular 28 day cycle. I have been testing everyday after the last day of my period to see if I was ovulating. It's been almost three weeks and no ovulation. Is this normal?

Hello, I had an abortion 8 years ago and been trying to get pregnant for the past 11 months, but nothing. Started to use ovulation sticks but although I was suppose to ovulate right now, nothing. Can anyone help?

I think she probably had a D&C, which can mess with your cycles like a natural m/c can.

I am with mlsk, after an abortion or m/c you may not ovulate.  At least if you are not ovulating at this time, you won't get preggers.  I had my m/c in June and I did not ovulate the next cycle.  I don't know how it is for an abortion??

Sorry about that.

If you had the procedure 7 wks ago, and AF arrived 6 weeks later, hasn't it just been a week since AF started? Whether your AF was a week ago, or 3 weeks ago, it will probably take awhile for your body to get back "normal." Are you using OPK's or charting your temps? Charting your temps is best for determining if you're ovulating or not.
