Question
Hi,im Ame from England. I have a queston about ovulating after medical termination. I recently had this procedure on 21st dec and bled for 2 weeks. the day after my bleeding stopped me and my partner had unprotected sex as we felt having the above procedure was a mistake but i feel very confussed this morning and feel that we did make the right decision in the first place, i'm now concerned and very worried i may be pregnant again. could this be possible the day after medical termination bleeding stops.
I hope you will be able to help me with my question as i feel i cant turn to anyone else. Ame

Answer
Unfortunately, you can ovulate which is why we stress either starting a contraceptive method or using condoms consistently. The only way to tell if you are pregnant again now is to have 2 blood tests and if the hormone level rises then you are pregnant.
