Question
I had an abortion a week and 2 days ago. it was a surgical abortion and i havent bleed at all since the day of the abortion. Last night i had anal sex with a guy and he pulled out and came on my lower back. He didnt finger me or put anything in my vagina. Is there anyway that seaman could of leaked into my vagina and i could get pregnant again? I just took 7 birth control pills becuase i am freaking out. Thank you!

Hello, Jamie,

Your question was in the question pool rather than addressed specifically to me, and I just saw it.

First of all, please do not have anal sex. It is very bad for your body. It can lead to damage to your bowels, bowel incontinence, or a nasty, even deadly, infection. It is NOT safe. Please take better care of yourself.

There is a slight possibility of pregnancy from the circumstances you describe, but it is remote. If any semen got onto the area where the opening to your vagina is, pregnancy is a possibility. However, that soon after an abortion, you are unlikely to be fertile, and without an egg waiting to be fertilized, pregnancy would also be impossible.

Unless you want to have another abortion, you should stop the risky behavior. Seriously. Don't rely on condoms, either. They often don't work. Make sure you aren't in a private place with a man, where sex can happen. Look for someone decent to spend time with. No decent man would do things like that to you.

Feel free to ask more questions. Stay safe!
