Answer
Hi Marsha,

Yes, you can have hormones in your body still after that period of time. Each woman is different but your body should be getting back to regular cycles soon. I would recommend going to a pregnancy resource center and get a pregnancy test there. It's free and you can get advice and support. They can also tell you when is the right time to come in and get the test. Go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Another good website to check out is http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Let me know what happens. I hope you will email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line.
Hope to hear from you soon.
