Answer
Hello, flalvia,

If the pregnancy test came out negative, you probably aren't pregnant. You can test again to make sure. As for the period, abortion really messes up a woman's hormones, so no telling when you'll get your period back. I have even talked to women who went months without a period after abortion.

If you are still having sex, pregnancy is a possibility. You can test three weeks after the last time you had sex. If you are not married, the only way to be free of the fear of pregnancy is not to have sex. There aren't any other methods of avoiding pregnancy that are totally reliable, especially if a person is not married. For some reason, failure rates are a lot higher among the unmarried. You really deserve better than abortion, and your partner should respect your body and not put you at risk. Abortion always causes long term damage. Sometimes it is more obvious than it is other times. All abortions make it much more likely you will get breast cancer, especially if you don't have a child. And all abortions make you more likely to develop an auto-immune disease. Surgical abortions can cause birth defects in your future children. Nobody knows what pill abortions will do to a woman's future children. Given that you have already had two abortions, I recommend that you take Vitamin D3 the rest of your life. A good dose is around 5000IU a day. You will need to have your blood tested occasionally to see if levels are high enough but not too high. Do not get mammograms. You should get a regular thermogram.

If you are pregnant again, then please don't have another abortion. It is too dangerous and can kill you. There are organizations all over the United States that will help you with whatever problems you are facing. They also have counseling for women who have experienced abortion. You really should get some of that counseling. It is very helpful. To find an organization near you, please visit this web site:
