Question
i had an abortion in october 2008, sincee then i get my periods 2 times in a month, but i had my last period on the 27th febuary 2009 lasted 3 days im getting all the symptoms of pregnancy but tests show negative. is it to early? and could my body have changed since the abortion towards pregnancy?

Answer
Hi dear Iram,
after an abortion the hormonelevels are in disorder. Irregular periods are often the effect. When taking contraception pills, this helps restore normal intervals. Ovulation is between day 8 and 12 after the first day of menstruation. So the chance of being pregnant depends on the date you had unprotected sex.
do not worry !
bye for now,
Dr Shan.
