Answer
Dear Jenna,

I really can't tell you over the internet if you are pregnant or not. But you have a possibility. Anytime you have sex, even supposedly "protected" you can get pregnant. There is no birth control method that is 100% guaranteed to prevent pregnancy. But you also could just be irregular because of your abortion. Your cycle should start soon if you are not pregnant. If you do want to get a free pregnancy test, you can find a location for a pregnancy resource center.
You can go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If not in the U.S. then try
