Expert: Shan Yi Sheng - 7/14/2011


Question
I had a D&C abortion on may 14th 2011

I got my periods after 6 weeks. they were heavy comparatively but laster for 5 days.
I did not have sex till I get my periods as prescribed by the doctor.

I had protected sex on 2nd day from the last day of my periods. its been 15 days since then. I am just freaking out. could i be pregnant? I don't have much symptoms yet, except slight cramping.

Answer
Hi Anya,
nobody likes you to freak out, neither do I.
Why should you when our sex was protected ?
After an abortion, periods are frequently irregular and unpredictable.
So no worry at all.

My mantra: "Never have unprotected sex if you do not want a baby"
