After taking medication for a miscarriage, I didn't have a D&C procedure, and it's still today, and my period hasn't arrived. How is this possible?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I didn't have a D&C after taking medication for an abortion, and it's been until today that my period hasn't come. What's going on? Also, after the medication abortion, about half a month later, I had a little bit of bleeding with blood clots, but not much. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

About 40 days after medication abortion, menstruation will gradually return. However, due to the influence of hormones in the body, menstrual disorders may occur.
If you have not had your period for a long time, it may be due to insufficient endometrial thickening. In this case, progesterone can be used for treatment.
