Answer
Hello Heidi,

I'm not a physician so please check with a medical professional or your own doctor about this. It's possible that your cycle is abnormal because of the abortion. It's also slightly possible, in my opinion, that you could be pregnant but I can't diagnose over the internet. I would recommend you to find a free pregnancy resource center in your area. Call 1-800-395-HELP or go online at http://www.optionline.org to find one. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and tell me what you find out. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
