Question
Hi doctor i just had an abortion 5/15 will be two weeks ago one week after my abortion i had sex unprotected im scared that i could be pregnant again how likely is it that i am pregnant again?? have you seen it before and if so what are my chances ???? maybe even as soon as 6 days after the procedire oh yea and how can i find out if i am ??

Answer
Hi Janeell.

I am surprised ! Why having unprotected sex in the first place if you just made clear that you did NOT want a baby.
About ten days after the abortion there is an ovulation already so there is a (small) chance that you are pregnant again. You can find that out by watching your body carefully. Breasts heavy, tired, and the signs you had before the abortion. The pregtest does't gives you no answer as tests are still positive after an abortion for several weeks.
If you do a test after two weeks from now you will know more.
I cross my fingers for you. Mind that there are no safe days after an abortion until your periods are regular again
which may take 3 tot 4 months.
Bests,
Dr Shan
