No period after

I terminated my pregnancy at 6 weeks.  That was on November 3, 2007.  IThe procedure was VERY painful and I only bled for the rest of that day and for about 6 days I had some cramping.  It has been almost 12 weeks and I have still not had my period.  Twice within this timeframe I have had some cramping/bloating.  No discharge and no spotting though.  I do NOT have health insurance and went to planned parenthood where they put me on the ring.  I normally have breakthrough bleeding but again, nothing.  I am supposed to take it out on Jan 30th.  I am so concerned though.  What does it mean if I still haven't had my period then?  

Thank you for your feedback!!!

Anything that I would have wanted to say has already been said by 1 or more people on here.  But YES, THERE IS AN ABORTION FORUM ON MEDHELP.  If, I were getting an abortion, that's what I would look for first.  The forums are alphabetized.  It's one of the very first ones, if not the first one that you see.  I only got on here and said this because this is not the first or last post we will see about abortion so this way, we know where to direct them.

Wow.  I am a real poster and I am so sorry to have hurt any feelings.  I guess because abortion is SUCH  a sensitive subject it is very hard to find "support" groups.  I am scared and worried and I guess I just thought this forum had to do with pregnancy...I purposely did not post on the "miscarriage" forum as to not upset anyone.  I can see after all of YOUR very hurtful posts that I am not going to get any sympathy for what I AM GOING THROUGH.  I do want children but I certainly won't waste any more time with people that I thought were here to help OTHER people.  I won't be logging in to this forum again so no need to post anymore negativity.

What does being a Christian have to do with stating that people are entitled to their opinions? I'm not going to shove the Bible and God down people's throats. This is a PUBLIC forum, inner-denominational. There are Wiccans, Christians, Muslims, Atheists on here. Everyone makes a personal choice for their beliefs. *shrugs* I didn't say anything wrong.

I am not saying what the poster did was wrong. I did not say one thing about her personal situation. I said a generalization that people who've had an abortion need to find support from other women who've had an abortion, not come on a pregnancy forum. It is tasteless and saying so is not wrong.

I am actually quite amused by you questioning my beliefs, truth be told, especially when my post said nothing amiss. Good luck to you, dandy, in whatever you are going through in your life. *HUGS*

It's a public forum and people are going to give their opinions. Personal opinions. So everyone stop attacking one another. Let's just agree to disagree.

My personal opinion is that someone who has an abortion needs to go to an Abortion Forum and speak with women who've been in her situation. I think it is tasteless for someone to come on a Pregnancy Forum with pregnant women and deliberately state she terminated her pregnancy. I highly doubt this was even a real poster.

If someone wants abortion help, she needs to go to an abortion forum. That's it. This is a support group for pregnant women (and the reason *I* am here is because I have experience and am TTC). We are not under ANY obligation to give support if it is against our beliefs or if it is not related to pregnancy. And none of us are under any obligation to use discretion.

If you come to a public forum and ask a question, expect opinions, especially on such a Hot Button Issue. *steps off soapbox*

I have only posted on here a few times awhile back and the only reason I haven't posted anything else is for how alot of you react to others.  I have just found out that I am pregnant and I am very happy.  I too am against abortions, but that doesn't mean that others aren't.  It's their life not mine.  Even though this is a public forum I still think that you can give advice with out being rude.  If you can't then don't say anything at all.  This poor girl needs advice and she really only got alot of rude comments.  As a mom to be and even if I wasn't I would want my children to know that they should stand of for what they believe in, but to also have respect for others.  In other words...give your thoughts when someone asks for it.

Understand, this is a public forum.. But as some of you know, your my new friends... And you are very helpful when I need advice...... look just let it go...... Annie has left now and obivously it's too much for her to handle... let's just leave it at this.. ABORTION is a VERY VERY VERYSENSATIVE subject in here  and should be brought to the table lightly......

SCK08,

The way I look at it, this may be a public forum, but it is also a "support group" type thing.. And yes, we may not ALWAYS talk about pregnancy, but it's ok to get off topic... Liven up to conversation.. Especially when someone has just had a m/c or is having trouble and is sad because of TTC..... And how many times now does this make it you have attacked me ?
Obviously you don't feel the same way as some of us do..... Loosing a baby by choice is one thing.. But when you come in here just start blurting out that you had an abortion .... That's going to raise some emotions.. AND RAISE THEM HIGH!!!! She could have said something anything along the lines of for health reasons, or something like that....... It wouldn't have been going into too much personal detail... And that way maybe someone would have been more sympathetic somewhat to her situation.... ........

Oh my lord - I'm the one who started all this and I'm so sorry - geesh - I said what I said and gave advice, so there - I didn' mean to start a debate about this, I gave the girl "support" that she needed for god's sake, and I kinda got attacked.  I'm a big mouth kind of gal and will not back down from speaking up when someone attacks me.  

I'm done with it and will never give advice to anyone who has had an abortion.  I'll leave.  Night

I do have to agree with Sexyhot ONLY because I saw this original post and had nothing to offer her so I skipped it...but of course I had to come back to see all the drama goin on!  hehehe

mom23-I didnt know this was a "support" group?  I think this poster was looking for support which I know she wont get much here.  I thought this was an open public internet forum.  Is there another forum labeled abortion?  Just asking, I dont know. AND I do have to say that many people "blurt" out a lot around here that have nothing to do with pregnancy.
