Question
i took the abortion pill about 7wks ago. I had my check up and everything was fine. about 3wks ago i had sex. it was not unprotected but i am not on birthcontrol. i started bleeding again the day afterbut it was only for that day. about 4 days later my breast started to be serverly tender. well yesterday i decided to take an hpt because my breast have grown. i know this for a fact because my breast are bulging out my bra. I took the test and had a very faint line. so i decided to wait till this morning and try again. same thing...a VERY light line. what could be going on. should i be worried about pregnancy.

Answer
Hi Julie,
after the ab pill the hormones are not in balance and that could take 10 weeks or more. So it is difficult to say what's going on. A faint line does not say anything either. In fact I do not believe that y're
pregnant. But everything is possible. We will have to wait for 3 weeks and do a pregtest again. In the meantime cross your fingers and have safe sex. Take care !
