Question
hi,
i had a abortion on the 30th july, and had unprotected sex on the 26th august. a week later i've had light bleeding which is rare as this dosent usually happen on a normal period for me. im hardly getting cramps. could i be pregnant again? since my terminiation i havent had anormal period since a week after sex which is not a normal period.

Answer
Hi Bianca, my first question would be: why fgs did you have unprotected sex ???
You firts ovulation after the ab was at about august 14th. So your first period was about the 28th. Periods are always a bit irregular after an abortion.
So be patient and no worry when you take better care of yourself.
bye for now,
Dr Shan
