Post-abortion Pregnancy Posted: 09-17-06 16:33pm


I had unprotected sex approximately 3 weeks after I was given the chemical abortion pills (mifeprostol), and about a week after the bleeding/spotting stopped. Is it possible to get pregnant during this time? What is the earliest time I can conduct a home pregnancy test?

Hi there.. Yes you were at risk for pregnancy, unfortunately it is difficult to time ovulation after an abortion. I actually became pregnant directly after an abortion when I was using 'the sponge'.. I cannot use hormonal birth control, so I used barriers, and I became pregnant. I did have another abortion.

The earliest you can take a home pregnancy test is 14-16 days after you had sex.. But you need to take an early one..

Why did you have unprotected sex? Are you now trying for a baby? Some women find they become desperate to be pregnant again after having an abortion and I wondered if this was the case with you.
