Mascot Healthcare – Supporting Your Recovery, Lagos

Going through an abortion or miscarriage can be physically and emotionally challenging. One of the most common questions we get at Mascot Healthcare Clinic in Lagos is:

👉 “When will my period return after an abortion or miscarriage?”

Here’s what you need to know — and how our clinic can support your full recovery.

When Will Your Period Return?

For most women, menstruation resumes within 4 to 6 weeks after a miscarriage or abortion. However, this can vary depending on:

  • How far along the pregnancy was
  • Whether the miscarriage was complete
  • If you had a surgical or medical abortion
  • Your body’s individual hormonal recovery

Ovulation usually returns before your first period, so it’s possible to get pregnant again even before seeing your menses.

What’s Normal & What’s Not

You may notice:

  • Heavier or lighter first period
  • Irregular timing for a few cycles
  • Mild cramping

But you should visit a clinic if you experience:

  • No period after 6–8 weeks
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Fever or foul-smelling discharge
  • Very heavy bleeding (soaking pads hourly)
