Hello Lanae,
I think it was not advisable to have sex within a week after your abortion. You should have been warned against that and also you should have had a post abortion checkup. Did you have that? Also, in my opinion, emergency contraceptives could be dangerous to your health. Since you had the abortion and the EC, this could have made your cycle irregular and you not have a period. Also, it is possible that you could be pregnant but I can't tell you that over the internet. You should have a pregnancy test if you think you have missed a period or have any pregnancy symptoms. Please go to this website http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP to find a location to have a free pregnancy test. If you can't find a center, then go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
