Question
I have two children already (been pregnant 4 times before, 5 if I am now) & have decent pregnancies & labour, mind you I always have a problem with the plicinta. I havnt had my period yet & I know if I take a pregnancy test in the first 6 weeks following an abortion it will more then likely come back positive. We have had unprotected sex (the ova ring hasnt shown up at the doctors yet) we used the pulling out procedure. I wont go for another abortion unless theres a physical reason for it, last pregnancy was a mistake, we were on birth control, this would be from selfishness & lack of control. Do you know when my period should show? My check up was fine but I also had a cone biopsy back in February. Thanks Jenna

Hi Jessica,

I just got your question. It was in the question pool from Aug. 15th. The only thing I know about that is if the person you asked the question to, didn't answer the question for some reason. So I am going to attempt. It's hard to say when your period would come and so it is a problem how to tell if/when you're pregnant. What was the date of intercourse? I would recommend waiting a couple of more weeks and then possibly testing. You can find a pregnancy resource center and they give free tests there and advice. You can find a center in your area by going to this website http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.
If you don't live in the U.S. then go to this website
