How long did it take for your period to come back after having an abortion?

My home pregnancy tests were still showing positive even after 5 weeks so I went for an ultrasound and tests and it showed negative (a big relief, finally!). My period is still yet to come even after 5 weeks. I’m still not over the typical pregnancy symptoms and it sucks.

Pregnancy test came positive after abortion, I'm freaking out

I(31F ) was about 8 weeks pregnant when I had a medication abortion about 1 month ago and 1 week ago and I did have bleeding afterward.

Since the abortion I haven’t had sex at all so there’s no possibility of a new pregnancy.

My period still hasn’t returned, so I took a home pregnancy test today and it is still showing positive

I’m really scared that the abortion may not have worked or that something might be wrong. I know that for 2-3 weeks it will show positive only but it's been 5 weeks now and I'm freaking out

I’m planning to contact a gynecologist soon.

I (31f) aborted my baby without telling my husband.

I had been expecting a really good promotion in my career after putting in so much hard work. I had worked immensely hard for this promotion and at that point my entire life was revolving around it.

Then I found out I was pregnant due to a mismatch with the birth control pills I had recently started. When I told my husband, he was immensely happy about having a baby. I however, didn't want to continue the pregnancy becz then I would have lost the promotion

We talked about it and he only told me that I could always focus on my promotion later and that it would be better to keep the baby since we had naturally concieved. I told him I needed some time to think about it and that we shouldn't tell our parents yet. But he went ahead and told his parents out of excitement. They were also extremely happy about having a grandson (????? Tf) That made me feel even more pressured.

I still wasn't convinced or ready to give up the promotion I had worked so hard for. So, despite knowing that my husband wanted to keep the baby I went ahead and had an abortion without telling him and told him a few days later.

Since then, he hasn't spoken to me properly or even tried to understand where I was coming from. It's been almost a month. We haven't talked to each other, he doesn't even look at me, we sleep in separate rooms, have dinner separately. I've apologized and asked for forgiveness so many times, but nothing seems to be getting through.

Ik I made a huge mistake by making such a major decision without telling him. I understand why he feels betrayed and I am not trying to justify what I did.

But now he has told his mother that I aborted the baby without telling him and since then, my MIL has been giving me constant taunts.

She compares me to his cousins' housewives and talks about how good they are as DIL. Taunts me how my husband got stuck with me who only cares about her career, keeps making comments about the abortion and blaming me that I killed her grandSON

To make it worse she came into our home at a time when our marriage is already extremely vulnerable, and instead of giving us space she is making everything so worse.

I feel so alone and helpless, I know my marriage is in complete shambles. I know what I did was wrong and I feel incredibly guilty about it. But I'm so furious and exhausted becz of my MIL who keeps taunting me about the abortion and making an already horrible situation even worse.

EDIT- I have pleaded with him and asked for forgiveness multiple times but he doesn’t listen. Even three years ago, I told him that it might be better to have a baby earlier rather than later but at that time, he was focused on his promotion and career and wasn’t ready to have a baby. So I froze my eggs and waited for him.

Now that he has switched companies and doesn’t need to focus on a promotion, suddenly my career doesn’t seem to matter. Does my promotion not matter at all? I can’t always keep making decisions about my health and career based on his whims naa?

He knew I won't be having this baby at all and would abort it. HE KNEW everything yet he went behind my back and told his mom about the pregnancy, why he did that when I already told him that I don't want to go ahead with this pregnancy.

Him being mad about this abortion doesn't make sense tbh as he knew I never wanted this baby
