7 Weeks After Medical Abortion : Question Posted: 06-06-07 20:32pm
I had a medical abortion 7 weeks ago
today. I still have not gotten my period
(not bleeding at all) and took a test
today that was positive. My BF and I have
been using condoms but I know they aren't
100% effective. Could I be pregnant again
or could it just be the last pregnancy is
still in my hormones? Thanks

How far along were you when you had the
abortion? If you are having sex then it is
possible to be pregnant.
Are you sure the baby was dispelled from
your uterus? Did you bleed and pass the
baby?

Did you go back for you mandatory follow
up session?
There could be a chance that the abortion
did not work, which could cause that to
happen. IF you went back for your follow
up you would know if you were 'clear' or
not.
If you were clear at your follow up, then
you could be pregnant again.

I did go for my follow-up and they said
they could still see something on the
ultrasound. They gave me two more pills
but I hardly bled after taking them. I
have only been having sex again for about
2 weeks now. I'm hoping that the positive
is just a result of what may be left that
they saw on the ultrasound. I go in again
next Friday to see if there is still some
stuff left over.

If there is still tissue
or products of conception in your uterus,
then you really should be advised to have
a d&c (surgical abortion method)
before it makes you ill. Your uterus will
need to be gently scraped or vacuumed free
of tissue, especially if the follow up
pills are not working properly. I would
strongly advise you to make another
appointment and get checked out as soon as
possible.
Best of luck!
Peace,
Jenn
