Question
I had an abortion 07/11/08 and was right at 4 weeks. During the procedure I heard the doctor say, "it's starting to breakdown and not sure if I got it all". I took a pregnancy a little over two weeks later and was told by the clinic to wait and take another one in two more weeks. They both were positive. I went back to the clinic 08/21/08 and was told that I am now 5wks 2days pregnant. I haven't had sex since June. How is this possible?

Answer
Hello TK,

Thanks for your question. This does seem hard to explain and unusual to me. I will have to do some research and thinking about this. Would you please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more about this? One thing you could do is have a pregnancy test done at a free resource center. You can find one at http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.
If you are not in the U.S. then you can go to this website

Hope you will email me soon.

Sincerely,
