Answer
Hi, Joan,

You are asking a question specifically about your own body. I cannot answer a question like that over the internet, and neither can a doctor.

When you have a chemical abortion, and especially then when you take this kind of birth control, your hormones are going to be pretty whacked out. All bets are off. Given that you had sex just a few days ago, and had the abortion on the 13th, it isn't likely you are pregnant.

If you need really certain answers, the best thing to do is go to a doctor and let him check and test you. You also need to have the doctor check and see if you passed everything. If all you saw was blood, it is important to get checked.

In the meantime, it would be a good thing to give some thought to whether it is worth this kind of worry to continue to have sex with someone who isn't committed to you.

Good luck, and stay safe!
