Need your help... I had abortion in July.. Could I be?

Question

I had an abortion July 17th. I bled lightly for a few days. I finally got my real menstrual period on August 20th. I had unprotected sex on August 20th before my period came & I had it almost every day since my period went over. Do you think I could be pregnant again?
I wouldn't get another abortion, I learned my lesson and that my choice wasn't the right one.. I want to hold my baby so badly now.. but what I need is answers, if you want to add your mean remarks, do so but please give me straight up answer...
It's now September 16th and I haven't had a period since August 20th... what do you think?

Answer 1

Ok it hasn't been a month yet so don't get all freaked out yet. Wait about a wekk if you don't get a period by then, go to your doctor and get a pregnancy test.

Answer 2

I don't know if you're pregnant but I do have a question for you....Didn't you learn the first time?? You say you basically just had an abortion a few months ago and you're having unprotected sex again....doesn't make sense. It's people like you who anger people like me on the abortion issue...IT IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL!!!! I'm glad you can say you realized it wasn't the right choice to abort but it's already done...your baby is dead and I would suggest until you can grow up some more and become apparently more responsible than you are now, keep your legs closed or use some protection before hopping into the sack.

Answer 3

When you get pregnant once, it's somewhat easier to get pregnant again! It's possible to get pregnant again in a short amount of time, but you need to wait a couple of weeks before taking a test because the abortion could've thrown your cycle off! Count the bleeding from the abortion as a cycle and give it 30 days and then if you don't have a cycle, consult your physician!! Don't stress yourself and just try to relax! I'm glad you realized your mistake and don't let others upset you about your decision!! We all make mistakes and no one is perfect!! Think positive and just know that God forgives and if you repent, you can be forgiven, but just don't do it again because abortions can cause sterilization, serious health problems, and lead you into depression!! So, think positive and in 2-3 weeks, if you haven't had a cycle, contact your physician immediately and schedule an appointment!

Answer 4

Are you glad you got attention? Good--I'm sure you are!

You can get pregnant ANY time you have sex: regardless if it is protected or not--unprotected sex just makes the precentage go way up.

How long did it take you to think up this question?

Oh, not very long, because you've asked this question 11 times--within the past month! How many times do you need to ask a question before you get the answer--or the attention--you feel you need. Look at my question that you so rudly answered--which didn't even answer my question--I wrote you on there. So why is it that you need to ask your question about abortion over and over again? I have no problem with abortions--I'm pro-choice. I do, however, have a problem with people using the fact that they had an abortion--for attention.

Answer 5

I'm not psychic, nor do I have any kind of power, so I don't know if you're pregnant. As for the abortion, you say you know it was the wrong choice, so I won't go there. You truly need to be more careful. If you didn't want a baby enough to have an abortion the first time, you most likely aren't ready for it a month later. I feel for you, but at the same time...I think you get the picture.

See your doctor if you're worried about being pregnant. I also have to say, you didn't say anywhere you weren't trying to get pregnant now.....so if you were trying, and you are, congrats! But be very careful! You only have one body, and you must take care of it! :)

Answer 6

I'm pleased to know that you will no longer be using abortion as your means of "birth control" - I'm assuming then that the "somatic" aftermath of that choice has fully settled in upon you and that with each abortion, a great potency and life-force is ripped from you womb. Sadly, when you get on in your years, the memory of any abortion can still torment you with its emotional underpinnings, especially if and when you've had children and have come to fully know the blessings that they indeed are! So, right now, you need to forgive yourself for that loss and NOT beat yourself up over it when that "remembrance" comes to mind... which it indeed will... there is no way to avoid that, other than an unhealthy "repression of feelings" or what I refer to as "somatic denial." For any woman who has suffered the pains of abortion, acknowledgment & acceptance of the loss is the best medicine. Also try to remember that a good percentage of women have at least one "miscarriage" prior to a pregnancy that actually "takes." Some doctors feel that, while these "false starts" maybe stress related, they may also be nature's way of preparing the woman's body for the "big event" to come.

If you are indeed pregnant, I needn't tell you that it is not under the best of circumstances that you enter into this pregnancy. I'm assuming you are not married, that you sexual "partner" may not be as "committed" as yourself to the idea of becoming a "parent" much more the prospect of being "tied down" to a long term relationship. While sex is gratifing & pleasurable, masterbation will take the edge off your "needs," and is therfore far more preferable for you at this stage of the game rather that a series of pregnancies for which you are ill-prepared, and perhaps even financially strapped. You need to otherwise use "protection..." You also need to be monogamus or just plain 'celebant....' The LAST thing you need now, is to contract a venerial disease by "sleeping around" or remaining in any way "promiscuous," if only for the sake of your unborn child.
Lastly, HOW OLD ARE YOU? Do you perceive yourself to be honestly "mature" enough to handle being a RESPONSIBLE parent. Don't delude yourself, there is A LOT of sacrifice & "trials-by-fire" in "parenthood," so you had better "buckle your seat belt" (and later, you child's) 'cause you're gonna have to "GROW UP FAST." SORRY, but you wanted "straight answers," and I'm only the messanger... there is NO high-handed morality or "judgementalism" implied here, so take my words in the spirit in which they're intended... as an outreach.

Just one more thing, please ask yourself if you receive personal validation via the sexual favors that you indulge on the opposite sex... cetrtainly, most men are quite willing, especially prior & during the "heat of sex," to whisper sweet "throwaway nothings" or 'pillow-talk' into your ear. After they have "scored" (slam-dunk) and are sexualy 'satiated' though, the "rapturous overtures" are considered to be "just that!" - "It was ONLY 'sex,' babydoll!" So, if you are one of those poor unfortunates naive enough to be take the "sweet-talk," hook, line. & sinker(?), and do indeed seek (& find?) your only sense of personal worth at the "receiving end" of a man's phallus, then, my dear, you need counseling! Just a thought... again, I'm NOT trying to hurt you! That's all I have to say... and I hope it helps you in your life's quests & QUESTions.

Answer 7

1 thing i do not believe in abortion . you made a mistake so why do it again. Dont you know what birth control is????? you just killed a baby and now unprotected sex what the crap are you thinking? You must be a teenager. you need to get on the depo shot or not have sex period. Go to your DR and get tested you are most firtle 7 days before and 7 days after your period.i surely hope you are not pregnant cause you sure dont deserve to bring a baby in this world. I hate to be cruel but you need to grow up and learn responcability . GET THE SHOT OR NO SEX GROW UP!!

Answer 8

What are you doing having unprotected sex?!? Is your body a pincushion? Of course you could be pregnant again. You have a few days for your period to come around. If it doesn't get a pregnancy test and then if it is positive go confirm it with your OB/GYN so she can get you on the right supplements and so forth to have a healthy and happy baby.

Answer 9

In many ways I think you learnt your lesson, but you should ask your doctor. Your period isnt due yet so you wouldn't really know. You could get a home pregnancy test and use that because you are in the time frame that it should tell you.

Good Luck

Answer 10

Yes your homones may have been very high since you had been pregnant, which makes it easier to conceive again. Therefore, take a pregnancy test. Get one with 2 tests. If they are both negative wait a week, then call the dr. He can do a blood test.

Answer 11

yes, you could be, too bad you didn't learn your lesson...
unfortunately many girls(not mature women who know what they want) sometimes unrightly feel regret and subconsciously get pregnant again soon after an abortion to try to alleviate the guilt. it is very immature, not a grown up decision. babies should be wanted and expected and brought up by both parents in a stable healthy happy family. for those who don't believe in abortion, and cannot provide this for the baby, i applaud their decision to adopt the baby out...
