Post-Abortion Pregnancy Risk: Timing of Home Pregnancy Tests & Concerns


Question
I had an abortion 5 weeks ago today but 2 weeks ago the boy who I got pregnant with decided he would chance his luck and put his penis inside of me without a condom (even tho I had informed him all about the abortion and the fact I couldn't go on the pill till after my next period, which I'm still waiting on) he was only inside me for 1 minute as I started crying and stormed out feeling so disrespected that he had once again put me in this position. I'm still waiting on my period but recently I've contracted a UTI and I'm extremly stressed out as that was one of the signs that led me to believe I was pregnant the first time. I just want to know what the probability of me being pregnant is again..I never want to go through with an abortion ever again and I'm extremly worried..would it be too soon for me to take a pregnancy text as the pregnancy hormone may still be in my system..I'd really appreciate any help/advice.  
Thank you

Answer
Dear Sarah,

5 weeks after the abortion the pregtest is always negative, unless you became pregnant again.
You could have started the contraceptionpill, the day after the abortion.
For  the urinary tract infection you need antibiotics.
No unprotected penises inside you as long as you do not want a baby. (my mantra !)
cross your fingers, ( and more useful : your legs as well.)
