QuestionHi Diane
I had a surgical abortion on the 25.11.10 at 10 weeks, and experienced hardly any bleeding. Me and my boyfriend had protected sex 5 days after with the use of a condom. We continued to have protected sex, but on the condom broke one time, so i took the morning after pill on the 3rd day. There have been a couple of times where we have had unprotected sex, using the pull out method as i am now using a form of contraceptive, but my doctor did not tell me they take a month to work properly.
I have not had a period for 7 weeks and it is only this week where i am now experiencing lower abdimonal pains, morning and night. I am also feeling very tired. Im hoping i am not pregnant again, i have taken 5 pregnancy tests and all have come out negative.
Im not sure whether i have missed a period or not as it can take 4-8 weeks for my period to come back. Also, a couple of weeks ago i experienced spotting, which was a brownish colour.
I hope you have an answer to my problem!!
Thank you for reading
AnswerDid you get my email as below?
I would recommend that you get a free pregnancy test at a local pregnancy resource center. You could be pregnant or you could still have side effects from the abortion. After an abortion, it is not uncommon to have your cycle be irregular.
To find a pregnancy center near you, go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. But if you are not in the U.S. you probably can't call that number but you could go to the website.
Or you could try http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the globe in the upper right hand corner of the page. Please let me know what happens.
You can email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com so hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
