Question
my friend had an abortion a week before she decided to have sex again. And the condome broke and she used the morning after pill wihin 5 hours. is there a great chance she can get pregnant still?

Answer
Niiki,

There is a chance that she could get pregnant but I can't tell you the chances. I know it's too late now, but she should not have had sex only a week after an abortion. Did she get the post abortion checkup? Also, I don't advise the morning after pill or Plan B. You can find more information about that on http://www.optionline.org and find the article on morning after pill.

She will have to see if she develops pregnancy symptoms or misses a period. Or she can get a free test at a local pregnancy center. Go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.
Or try http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp

Give her my private email which is DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if she wants to talk to me. Tell her to put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line.

Thanks for being a good friend,
