Answer 1

yes, it is very possible. I got pregnant with my son just two months after an abortion.

Don't listen to the judgemental pro-lifers on here.
"Pro-lifers" (or ANTI-CHOICERS) are ignorant, uneducated, and CONTRADICTORY. They are not really pro-life as they claim to be.

If they were pro-life, they would NOT support a war killing thousands of REAL, INNOCENT children as opposed to an insignificant embryo or fetus. (The majority of pro-lifers are conservative republicans who SUPPORT the war.)

If they were pro-life, they would not support killing animals just to satisfy their taste buds, or to make a fashion statement (furs, animal skins, etc).

If they were pro-life, they would not kill insects.

If they were pro-life, they would not support "pro-lifers" who bomb abortion clinics, kill doctors who perform abortions, harass innocent employees at abortion clinics, nor would they do it themselves.

If they were pro-life, they would not support the dealth penalty.

If they were pro-life, they would adopt many many children since they supposedly "care so much" and want to make sure that all people considering abortions carry the pregnancy to term and give the child up for adoption.

If they were pro-life, they would NEVER make statements like "you should have been aborted".

If they were pro-life, they would be genuinely nice and understanding, and they would NEVER gossip about people, insult people, or hate people. Why are some pro-lifers SO mean? If they really cared about the lives of others, would they be mean, and judgemental? No, they wouldn't! Why aren't they nice to everyone? Since they are mean to people and hate people, that means it wouldn't matter to them if those people died, So why do they care about the lives of certain "people", and not others? That's not fair, and that's contradictory.

MY body, MY life, MY reproductive system, MY fetuses and embryos, MY business, MY choice.

Since when is a piece of flesh more important than a grown woman? Who cares if it has a heartbeat? The fetus or embryo may have a heartbeat, but that is NOT life. It is not a baby until it is viable. It can not survive without the mother's body, and the mother should not be forced to have her body used as an incubator. It's HER body. Forcing a woman to carry a child she does not want is more disgusting than rape. Statistics show that women who had forced pregnancies and gave their children up for adoption suffer more than women who have been raped. Rape is a quick thing. If you were already sexually active before being raped, it will not be so hard to deal with. But having to carry an unwanted child for 9 months and then having to give it up? That's extremely painful physically and emotional. That is over 9 months of physical struggles, and a lifetime of emotional struggles.

Also, the fetus may be "alive", but is it life? No! It's not. It is not yet living a real life. It is just a piece of flesh with a heartbeat. I can think of MANY more things with a heart beat which pro-lifers do NOT care about.

Did you know that illnesses are LIVING ORGANISMS? Yes, AIDS, and CANCER are LIVING. Does that mean that you should live with them, and let yourself die?

Did you know that tumors have PULSES? Yes, tumors have pulses and they are LIVING ORGANISMS. Does that mean you should let the tumor destroy your body?

I have plenty more examples showing how pro-lifers are contradictory, but I won't waste time.

We all know pro-lifers are uneducated, ignorant, and the only purpose of their life is to follow their bullsh*t religion so they can get to "heaven". They haven't got minds of their own, and are gullible enough to believe what the bible has to say.

The arguments pro-lifers make about abortion are wrong, anyway. They ALWAYS mention "God" when debating about abortion. WELL PRO-LIFERS, GUESS WHAT? You're wrong! There is NO proof of "God" therefore the "facts" you provide are FICTION!

Every pro-lifer should get a life, and leave everybody alone. My body is none of their business. My reproductive system is none of their business. My fetuses and embryos are none of their business. Have they nothing better to do than harass people all day? Are they THAT pathetic, and bored?

ALL pro-lifers are contradictory and their arguments are ridiculous. They say the stupidest things like:

"Why kill an innocent baby when you can give it to a family that wants kids but can't have kids?"

-First of all, other families are none of my business. Why should I waste 9 months of my life going through physical and emotional hell just so I can make a random couple happpy?
Second of all, There are already SO many unwanted children in this world. There are so many orphanages and foster homes, and NOBODY cares about the children in them. If there were really "SO many people who want kids but cant have them", then there wouldn't be any unwanted children out there!
Why bring another unwanted children into this already over-populated world?
Also, why don't pro-lifers adopt a few children themselves?
...I just proved that pro-lifers don't know what they are talking about and that they are CONTRADICTORY.


"if you're not ready for a child, you're not ready for sex! if you're not ready to face the consequences, don't spread your legs!"

-That is NOT true. Sex is a natural, beautiful, pleasurable thing which everybody should experience whether they are ready for children or not. Having children is not the only purpose of sex. If sex existed solely for reproducing, then orgasms would not exist! Sex is here for us to enjoy, not only to have children.
Also, there are SO many people who already have a few children, are happily married, but are NOT ready for more children. For example, Would you say that a middle aged woman who has children and is married but is NOT emotionally, physically, and financially ready for another child is not ready for sex? Of course you wouldn't! But of course that woman still has sex despite the fact that she's not ready for more children.
...Once again, I have proved that pro-lifers don't know what they are talking about and that they are contradictory.


"if you saw somebody trying to kill their child in the street of course you would do something about it"

-Yes, i'd do something about it, but that is totally irrelevant. That has NOTHING to do with abortion.
You can NOT compare a real child to a fetus or embryo.
Who cares if you terminate a pregnancy when the fetus or embryo can't feel anything and is NOT aware of anything occuring as opposed to a child that can feel and is aware?
It has been scientifically proven that a fetus can NOT feel anything before 20 weeks. 90% of abortions are terminated long before 20 weeks; long before the fetus can feel anything.
Even if a woman has an abortion after 20 weeks when the fetus can feel, who cares? The emotional and physical pain the mother goes through is much worse than the pain the fetus is going through. The fetus will only "feel pain" for a short while as opposed to a woman who will feel pain and discomfort for over 9 months. Also, the fetus's brain is not developed enough to acknowledge the situation. Why do you think nobody remembers being in their mother's stomach?
...Once again, I have proved pro-lifers wrong.

"what if your baby wouldve found the cure for aids or cancer?!?!"

-There are "what ifs" in EVERY situation no matter how minor or major it is. You can NOT justify something or say something is wrong based on "what ifs".
Here is a question I have for you, pro-lifers: "What if the baby would've been the next hitler?"
...Once again, MY argument WINS.


For the men: You don't have a right to oppose abortion, and you do NOT have the right to speak out against it. You also do NOT have the right to criticise women who have had abortions.
Let me tell you when you will be able to oppose abortion. You will be able to oppose abortion the day your PENIS turns into a VAGINA, the day you GROW A UTERUS, the day you get a MENSTRUAL PERIOD, the day your body CHANGES TO ACCOMODATE AN EMBRYO OR FETUS INSIDE OF IT, and the day YOU GET PREGNANT. That is the day you will be allowed to speak out against abortion. Too bad that will NEVER happen, so keep your ignorant opinions to yourself.

Answer 2

Yes, you can get pregnant any time after your period (in this case the bleeding that occurred after the abortion).
4-6 weeks is reasonable, and the test might be registering a false positive because of the hormones still in your system.

Babies can be born 10 months apart; think about it.

Here's hoping you're not. Get some Plan B NOW, either way.
NOW, stop reading and get out the door, I'm not kidding.

I would not advise having unprotected sex at ALL, especially if you don't want a kid. At least get an IUD. The abortion doctor should've recommended something.

Answer 3

Yes you can very well be. Why you did not learn anything is beyond any of us and why you did not listen to you doctor is also beyond any understanding and there is no good excuse nor explanation to make it "OK" Why you are doing is wrong, other than what some will think and say about killing a living child that God gave you, you are hurting your body so badly, it is self abuse.

You need to seek help from someone somewhere. Not sure how old you are or anything like that, but God forbid my daughter does this when she gets older.

Sex is not a game, should never be used for acceptance and sex has nothing to do with love, it facilitates making babies, procreation and continuing the life cycle. Sex is a verb and only a verb, there is nothing deeper to it, it means nothing but the physical.
You are not hurting anyone but yourself, in more ways than what people think of you but physically and emotionally too... this is not a legacy that you want to leave the children you do end up having or the friends and relatives you have.
You are in our prayers.

Answer 4

It takes the body 5-6 weeks to clear out all traces of HCG after a miscarriage or abortion, so you could be getting a positive response from the previous pregnancy. I would either go in for blood work (the HCg levels will tell them if this is a new pregnancy or just a bit left over from the last one) or wait another week or so to see if your period starts. I had several miscarriages and it took quite awhile each time to get a normal cycle going-good luck!

Answer 5

Yes. There is always a chance that the abortion missed the fetus. If this is the case, you could still be pregnant from before the abortion. If the abortion was successful, chances are VERY slim that you would have begun ovulating yet. Actually, 6 weeks is about right before you would have a period after an abortion or birth.

Answer 6

You are likely pregnant again, but it is possible shortly after an abortion or miscarriage to still receive a positive result. Just as it takes time for HCG levels to rise, it takes time for them to decline. It would also depend on how far into your pregnancy you aborted. If you aborted because you didn't want to have a child, please use some form of birth control besides abortion. It is not a safe method of contraception. If you wanted to get pregnant again, congratulations. Good luck, and see your doctor as soon as you can get seen.

Answer 7

The only way to know for sure is to go see a doctor. Yes, it is possible that you are pregnant again. It is also possible that it's a false positive due to hormones from your last pregnancy. Why would you risk getting pregnant again if you just had an abortion? Every one makes mistakes but dammnn learn from them!
While your at the doctor make sure to get tested for HIV/AIDS as well as you stand a good chance of being positive for that as well.

Answer 8

You're probably pregnant. YOU ARE VERY FERTILE AFTER AN ABORTION.

Did you not learn anything from this the first time? Get ready for abortion number 2.

I'm not judging you, I've had an abortion, I undestand things happen. But really - why would you have unprotected sex RIGHT AFTER having an abortion? I dont get it. Its not BIRTH CONTROL.

Answer 9

Yes, you could be, and yes, the test could be positive from your previous pregnancy. You should see a dr. You are at higher risk of miscarrying because your uterus has undergone some trauma with the abortion.

You should also ask your dr. about a reliable form of birth control. If you want to have children later in life, you don't want to depend on abortions as birth control. They will harm your reproductive organs eventually.

Answer 10

You can get pregnant within a week after abortion. Most abortion clinics will tell you that you can get pregnant, within the next day.

You should have received counseling prior to the procedure, where they would have given you these instructions. You should have also received this information prior to leaving.

Answer 11

im not definate on this answer, but i would say that you are pregnant since the test said positive.
i would think that after 5 weeks from having the abortion that the test would be negative if you wasnt pregnant.

hope this helps.
