Expert: - 5/6/2009


Question
Dear doctor,

I had got intimate with my husband on 3rd may, 2009 but he
never entered me or never ejaculated near my vagina but
just rubbed his penis on my lower belly and clitoris. Could
i still be pregant? I just had an abortion on 1st week of
feb and i am still paranoid about it. Is it psychological
that i am feeling cramps just 3 days down the line of
intimacy and even when it wasnt fairly sex.

Answer
Dear Brishti - from what you decribe you should not be pregnant.  Period-like cramping is normal for weeks after an abortion.  It should be relieved by standard pain medication, like ibuprofen or motrin 800mg.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
