Question
Hi Diane,

I am 21 years old and I had an abortion in mid august last year. But a month ago after I got my period, I lost my insurance and couldn't get my birth control pills. I had unprotected sex this month and I am really paranoid that I am pregnant at the moment. I was wondering what are the possible side effects to having a second abortion. Is it less likely that I will get pregnant again in the future?

Answer
Hi Teresa,

Thanks for your question. No one can predict the likelihood of you getting pregnant again. I would advise you to not have any more sex in this situation. Then see if you miss your next period and/or develop pregnancy symptoms. Look up http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Or this website http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp

Write me soon at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and will be looking forward to contacting you. By the way, you can get pregnant from having "protected sex" Because there is really no such thing. Also, there are studies which show that "sexually transmitted diseases can get transmitted " even from protected sex.
