Question
I had my abortion on sept. 25 2008 and the only and last time i had sex unprotected was on oct. 12 2008. My boyfriend pulled out but i know theres pre cum that might of when in. Can i get pregnant between my abortion and the last time i had sex.

Answer
Dear Sandy,
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant right away after an abortion.  The pull out method is good, but not reliable as you said.  Hopefully he pulled out well, and it worked.  Otherwise you may want to try finding a more reliable method of birth control.
I hope this is helpful,
