Question
hello doctor. i had an abortion just this january. on february i had my period which was like my regular kinds of periods. after the last day of my period i had unprotected sex because i know it's safe at that time. now, i'm freaking out because i did not have my period for the month of march. should i get myself checked?
Hi Nicole,
after an abortion there is a period of irregularity in hormonelevels, periods and bloodloss.
So your unprotected sex (why unprotected ?) was risky and not safe at all.
Yes, you'd better have a pregtest again.
Cross your fingers.
Bests,
dr Shan
