Pregnant After Abortion ? Need Advice Posted: 06-12-07 10:58am
okay so I had an abortion on 4/24/07. I
went for my 2 week check up 4 weeks later
which was 5/24/07. when I went to the Dr.
I had a little light show like almost
watery pinkish red with cramping. I then
got a pregnancy test which the Dr. said
was slightly positive. she wanted me to go
to the ER to rule out Ectopic but I
didn't. I came home took another pregnancy
test that showed negative. So I figure I'd
wait it out. I did have unprotected sex
with a condom break But took plan B the
same day that happened. I have had
unprotected sex with the pullout method
before and since then. I, Till this day
Eight weeks after the abortion have not
had a period. I am confused. I have had
some cramping which I thought was my
period but nothing. My breast are tingly
painfull at times but not
constantly?????????? HELP.

The best advice would be
to take another pregnancy test and follow your
doctor's advice!
And, in the future, the "pull-out" method
is .n.o.t an actual method of birth
control. Men produce a liquid called
pre-ejaculate or pre-cum when they are
aroused to clear out the urethra of any
accumulated acid from urine. This
pre-ejaculate can contain sperm which can
get you pregnant.
If you do not want to become pregnant
again, the best course of action would be
to get on some form of hormonal birth
control - the pill, patch, shot, or ring -
which all offer 99% effectiveness if you
use it properly. Also, unprotected
intercourse leaves you at risk for
infections. Please consider using condoms
to fully protect yourself even if you are
using an actual form of birth control.
Since it's been 8 weeks since the
abortion, it is time for you to go back to
the doctor. They can run more thorough
tests there and tell you definitively
whether you are pregnant again or not. In
the future, please follow your doctor's
advice.
