Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Schedule follow up : After a medical abortion it is important to schedule follow up to make sure it worked. You would expect your first period 2-6 weeks after so it may just not quite be time for your first cycle. Start birth control to prevnet another unplanned pregnancy.
