I had an abortion on Tuesday then on Friday evening I had unprotected
Sex,could there be chances of me getting pregnant... I know it was very dangerous and silly of me but I was very emotional and devastated but what I had just done and my boyfriend was comforting me and one thing led to another

Yes, it's still possible, slim chance, but the possibility is there.

Please stop having sex if you can't protect yourself. Abortion should not be considered a form of birth control.

The chances aren't very high. You basically had you uterus scrapped, therefore a fertilized egg wouldn't be able to plant itself.
Please be more careful, you just aborted a baby, and are running the risk of another. You shouldn't be having sex that soon after an abortion to begin with. There ARE other health risks, that's why they tell you not to do it.

Exactly, she should be waiting 6 weeks before having intercourse again.

jaysie90 · Jan 18, 2010, 01:14 AM

Right, there is a reason for the six week barrier. An abortion is a SURGICAL procedure which carries risk of infection, messing with it only hightens that risk.

I won't repeat the same mistake twice.. thank you

J_9 · Jan 18, 2010, 09:09 AM

Then you either need to:

1) stop having sex; or
2) use more than one kind of birth control.

You say you won't make the same mistake twice, yet you had unprotected sex 3 days after an abortion. What is wrong with this picture?

The following Monday I went to get my womb cleaned,now after a week I have been urinating constantly and have been having headaches and been tired of late... could I be pregnant even if I had my womb cleaned

J_9 · Feb 1, 2010, 08:56 AM

By having your "womb cleaned" I assume you mean a D&C, correct?

Have you had intercourse since then?

fflower · Feb 1, 2010, 10:10 AM

Yes I mean a D&C and no I have not had intercourse since then

J_9 · Feb 1, 2010, 10:11 AM

Do you mind me asking how long ago the D&C was?

fflower · Feb 1, 2010, 10:14 AM

It was on the 21st of jan

J_9 · Feb 1, 2010, 10:17 AM

Okay so that was just shy of 2 weeks ago. It is quite possible then that you are beginning your first premenstrual cycle since the D&C.

fflower · Feb 1, 2010, 10:27 AM

And what about the constant urinating and headaches and the fatigue because I never experience this when am about to start my cycle

J_9 · Feb 1, 2010, 10:30 AM

This too can be a premenstrual symptom. Especially since your uterus is basically starting brand new.

If you have not had intercourse since you had the D&C there should be nothing to worry about.

If it would clear your mind you could take a HPT using first morning urine.

fflower · Feb 1, 2010, 10:37 AM

OK thanks... I will do just that I the morning

J_9 · Feb 1, 2010, 10:47 AM
