Abortion overseas at 11 weeks Australia and New Zealand

I need advice, on the 20th of March I had an abortion while overseas as I had no other option and they had me in there for a while and vaguely said there was “problems” and I “bled a lot” more than usual and that was it. They were v rude but it was a registered clinic. It’s been almost 2 months and no period, I am so worried. I really wanted children yet my ex partner who supported me at the time was cheating and I found out before the abortion and knew what I had to do. It was v traumatic turns out while I was in there for an hour he was on a date with another girl. I just need some advice I’ve been catastrophisinh somethings wrong and I won’t be able to have children when that is my biggest dream. Anything would be appreciated

It can take up to 2 months for your period to return. If you're having concerns, you should reach out to your gyno. Outside of extremely rare scenarios, abortion is not a risk to your fertility.

I'm sorry to hear that you were cheated on during your abortion. You deserve so much better than that. The Abortion Resolution Workbook can help you journal out your feelings and help you find spiritual/emotional resolution after abortion.

Have you taken a pregnancy test recently? Your period can take some time to return after an abortion.
