Abortion/Pregnancy

Question
I had my medical abortion 2 weeks ago and did not think it through because I was scared. I am in a stable and loving relationship and I now realize the abortion was the wrong choice. I am still bleeding 2 weeks after the abortion but I heard that you can still conceive if you are bleeding. Is this true?

Answer
Hi Ali,

I'm sorry to hear of your situation. I'm sorry that you regret your abortion now. I do provide post abortion healing counseling because this has happened to other friends of mine. I would be glad to send you some literature that hopefully will help you deal with this and experience healing to your life.

As to the physical problems, I have been hearing of this a lot lately.
Are you still bleeding? If you are, this might be a cause for concern. Have you went to a post abortion checkup? This is very important to make sure you are ok physically.  Yes, you could get pregnant. Your body is not operating properly right now and anything could happen.

Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more. Everything is totally confidential. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
