I had a medical abortion in December 2017 and I still have not gotten my periods. I have taken a pregnancy test every month and it has been negative. What should I do and how can I get my periods back?

Absence of periods for this long needs thorough evaluation. Could be Ashermans syndrome (uterine lining scarring) or hormonal suppression. Get a Pelvic Ultrasound to check uterus and endometrium. Do hormone tests: TSH, FSH, Prolactin, and LH. Consult a gynecologist for further treatment like hormonal therapy or hysteroscopy.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a FSH and LH Test Test

Book TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test Book FSH and LH Test Test

My wife has missed her periods. We have done two pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. We always use protection during sex. We are concerned, what could be the reason for her missed periods, and what should we do?
