Hello Sonia,

Usually it isn't easy to get pregnant again right after an abortion. But it is possible. Also, it might not be healthy for your body to become pregnant again. Have you asked your doctor's advice about this? Please do so. You can get a FREE pregnancy test if you want at a local pregnancy resource center. To find one in your area, go to http://www.optionline.org or http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the worldwide directory.
