Post-Abortion Pregnancy Concerns: Understanding Symptoms & Options

Question
Hi, ever since my abortion in early july.... i've been so paranoid that i'm pregnant again. i've literally gone through probably 15 pregnancy tests since. i feel like i am insane. part of me wants to have a baby since the whole ordeal--to make up for what i was forced into i guess?

anywho, i've been feeling really weird lately. after my abortion, the clinic had me on ortho tri-cyclen lo for a month then i had my period immediately after the first pack ran out. i didn't return on the birth control. the month following (september), i was expecting my periood and felt irritable and other pms syptoms. i didn't get my period. i freaked out and took like 5 pregnancy tests all this month thinking i was pregnant. nowadays would be when i'm pmsing and i'm starting to feel irritable and hungry a lot and a lot like i do when i'm pregnant but without the sore sore breasts. i was wondering, do women who just were pregnant with sore breaasts get them again if they are pregnant not long after? i didnt know if the hormones that cause them to be sore were still there or something...

Answer
Hi Amanda,

Thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear about your abortion and how you feel like you want to have a baby. This is quite common to happen after an abortion. There are also other side effects and emotions. I have information about post abortion healing and if you are interested, you can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more about that.

Yes, after an abortion, you can have lots of things going on with your body and your regular cycle. It's not abnormal to have variations on your cycle. It's possible that you are pregnant but it's also possible that you are having hormonal fluctuations. Please email me and update me on what has happened.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
