Question
I Had An Abortion On Sept 27 Then Said Sex On Oct 3 , The First Time It Was With A Condom Then The Second Time Without But He Withdrew. Is It Possible That I Could Be Pregnant?? Plus I Was Bleeding That Day And Now I'm Not Bleeding At All. What Does That Mean??

Answer
Dear Symone,

Thanks for your question. It's possible that you could be pregnant but you will have to see if you have pregnancy symptoms or take a test. Also, after an abortion, you most likely will have an irregular cycle so it might be confusing. Are you wanting to get pregnant this time? Just wondering because if you don't want to, you should probably abstain from sex for a while. You can get pregnant even with a condom so having sex with or without could cause you to get pregnant again.

Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more. If you want to get a free pregnancy test, you can go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP to find a location of a free pregnancy resource center. Or try http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the globe for the directory of centers.

Hope to hear from you soon.
