QuestionQUESTION: doctor, i have had an abortion on 15th december 2011. then i got my periods on the 21st and dried up around the 25th. then i had sex with my partner ten days after the abortion. we used the pullout method. but i bled a little a couple of days later. i have not had sex since. but it's the 22nd of january and i still didn't get my periods. moreover, there is some white discharge(without smell) everyday and i have a light pain in my lower right back.
i took a pregnancy test on 18th jan and it was negative.
i am really panicky. do i have an infection? or am i pregnant with an ectopic pregnancy or what? please help. will be grateful to you.
ANSWER: Dear Ellie,
Yes, you could have an infection from the abortion. You must go to a doctor and get a checkup. When a woman has an abortion, she is usually directed to come in for a post abortion checkup about 2 weeks after. Did you have that?
Also, you should know that the pullout method is not really safe in preventing pregnancy. All birth control methods are not 100% safe. If you get pregnant again, what will you do? Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know what is happening. If you have any post abortion healing problems such as mental, emotional or spiritual, please let me know. I provide free post abortion healing counseling online.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl

QUESTION: i had a post abortion checkup a week after the abortion. that was when my periods were on. the doctor said all was fine. i will take your advice and go see her again. but i wanted to ask, what are the odds of my being pregnant right now? since the symptoms have disappeared and the test on the 18th of january was negative.
AnswerWhat has happened in your situation? Let me know. Once again, my email address is CHERYL51@aol.com and would appreciate if you could email me. Put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line of your email. Do you want to be pregnant?
I can't tell you the chances of being pregnant. But did you go back to the clinic?
