Hello, sameera,

You're welcome.

Your chance of being pregnant from that incident of sex is not very great, but it's not zero. You really should wait until you are married before having sex. Getting pregnant at this point in your life poses some significant problems. And abortion is dangerous and can kill you. If you survive, it can also harm your future children. It can cause long term disability, including auto-immune disease like lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis. And it can cause you to get breast cancer. The type of breast cancer you would get kills 1/4 of its victims, and it strikes a woman while she is still young, such as in her 30's.

Having sex after abortion can cause bleeding as you are experiencing. Having an abortion is not normal. The drugs are poisonous, especially to pregnant women. So anything that happens after abortion isn't normal, either. It's not normal to bleed after sex.

You need to find a decent doctor and have him test you, especially if you took any pills in the vagina. He needs to test you for Clostridium sordellii. If you have it in your body, he needs to start immediate life-saving treatment. You can get toxic shock syndrome from Clostridium sordellii and other bacteria after a medical abortion. Once symptoms develop, it kills within hours, and there is apparently no way to save a woman's life. Find a doctor who knows abortion is bad medicine. Antibiotics only help with bacteria. You can get viruses or fungus, or a silent infection that causes pelvic inflammatory disease, and this can make you sterile and cause pain. If your fiance has ever slept with anyone else, whether he has told you about it or not, you are also at risk from getting a sexually transmitted disease, so you should also be tested for these.

You should have a talk with your fiance. If he truly loves you, he will want to protect you from such risks. He needs to protect you by not having sex with you until you are married. You have already had one dangerous incident. You both have been warned. Next time, things might not go so well. If he isn't willing to protect you, he doesn't love you, and you really should break up with him. I'm serious.

I can give you details for the problems I have mentioned above. I can also tell you about some remedies that will decrease your chance of having one or more of these problems.

Please let me know how things go. Please don't ever consider abortion again. Stay safe!
