Question
I had an abortion 3 weeks ago.  The place called me and said that my blood work from the day of the abortion came back that I can still be pregnant.  They want me to come in for a pregnancy test. Is this possible?

Answer
Dear Cherish,

Thanks for your question. If I were you, I would go to another place to get a pregnancy test. I have heard stories, I don't know about your particular place, but I have heard stories of clinics saying that you are pregnant and then performing a supposed "abortion" and the person wasn't even pregnant. So anyway, I would recommend a local pregnancy center that you could find on http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you are not in the U.S. then you could go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.
Actually, I would like to talk to you as soon as possible.

Thanks.
