Question
i had a abortion in may at 10 weeks and a couple of days; and i bleeded for 18 days straight. my period came back on about 3 weeks after that, then 4 weeks after that and two weeks after that. i have no pregnancy syptoms, but my stomach is getting large and my navel is beginning to stick (come)out. i took a pregnancy test in july and it came out barely pregnant. that's what the doctor said "barely pregnant" and if my period comes on this month (july) don't worry about it. and it did come on. is it anyway i could still be pregnant or i got pregnant 20-21days or so after my abortion?????????

Answer
Hello,

Thanks for your question. I can't tell you over the internet if you are pregnant now. You will have to go get a pregnancy test and advice for sure. You can find a pregnancy resource center in your area by going to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Another helpful website

And yes, it is possible to get pregnant after an abortion. If you need any post abortion healing counseling, please email me at that above address as I provide free counseling.
