Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As you have not started oral contraceptive pills immediately after abortion and not used additional protection during intercourse, we cannot rule out the possibility of pregnancy. Usually we can expect periods within 7 to 10 days of stopping the OC pills, if you crossed this period better to go for urine pregnancy test wants to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. Oral contraceptive pills should be started as per the schedule for complete protection like either during first three days of menstrual cycle or immediately after abortion. If schedule is missed better to use additional contraception like condoms during first one week of intake of pills.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
