After an abortion, if your period hasn't come, are you pregnant?

Patient's question:

Please ask:
I had a miscarriage on October 11th, and it's now November 21st, but my period hasn't arrived yet. Could I be pregnant during this time? Is it normal for my period not to come? Follow-up question: Is it normal for my period not to come?

Doctor's answer:

An abortion does not affect the menstrual cycle. It is not ruled out that pregnancy may occur. It is recommended that you monitor it immediately. After the menstrual period is delayed for a week, you can take a pregnancy test to confirm whether you are pregnant. You can also check blood HCG 7-10 days after intercourse to confirm whether you are pregnant. This is the most accurate and earliest method of examination. After an abortion, you must rest for 2 weeks, increase nutrition, and do not have intercourse within one month to avoid vaginal inflammation. It is recommended that you act cautiously. If you feel uncomfortable, you can have a gynecological examination and symptomatic treatment. Generally, the menstrual period will return to normal after about a month, depending on the individual's constitution. In addition, as long as sexual life is resumed, contraceptive measures must be taken to avoid pregnancy again.
