Abortion/No period

Question
HI, On January 15,2010 I had an abortion. 4 days later i was spotting very light for about 3-4 days.  My period has not come on for the month of February. I have had unprotected sex 3 days after the abortion until now. It's March and still no period, i took a pregnancies test but it was negative. Am I pregnant .

Answer
You could be pregnant but also your period could just be irregular because of the abortion. Also, I know it's too late now but they should have told you that after your abortion, you're not supposed to have sex for approximately 2 weeks or more. This is because of possible infection. Did you ever have a post abortion checkup? So I would say ask your doctor. But if you don't have a period within a couple weeks, call a pregnancy center and see if you can get a free test there. http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Or try this website to find a center http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
