On Feb 22, I had a medical abortion. They told me that I could not have sex for 2 weeks. A week after the abortion I put my Nuva Ring in, but when it came time to take it out it wasnt there!! Its already been two weeks and I have not gotten my period. I have had unprotected sex since then also, and I know that's not the wisest decision to make. I haven't really had symptoms, but on Saturday I got really dizzy for about 2 minutes and before that I have gotten a little dizzy. My last pregnancy I had really bad symptoms because I was going to have twins. I took a pregnancy test last night and at first I thought it was negative, but I looked at it closer and there was another really light line next to it. Is that the result of me still having pregnancy hormones or am I really pregnant? If i am pregnant I am not going to abort again.

ah darling, me again!
I am not sure i guess you know now whether or not you are pregnant? I think the hormones do stay around a little while after but maybe not so long as you said, so possible new pregnancy. I also know that pretty much for most months that went by after mine, I thought I would be pregnant. Even the months it probably wasn't so feasible! I did test after test and would usually come on later the same day, but I think that's a part of having the procedure in the first place. Maybe not everyone, but just thought it was worth a mention. Anyway, one month I forgot about doing a test and my period was running a few days late when I had a check up at my clinic to change contraception. She had to check I wasn't pregnant and lo and behold I was! It was around the same month I'd fallen pregnant before, 3 years later, and the change in my determination to keep this baby no matter what. Just to say, this horrible feeling has a light at the end of it. At whatever point that may be. Hang in there Smile

Thank you for the advice, i really do appreciate it. It turns out i was not pregnant, it was just me being scared and sadly wishing to be pregnant at the same time. But my period started to come around the same date now. Im pretty much normal, which is good because before the pregnancy i was not normal at all. Like i said i really appreciate the advice and response to this. Smile

No worries, it just rang true with some of the things I went through that was all. I guess to feel better about my experience I just want to know others don't go through it the same away I did - before or after. I've friended you, don't really come on here but notifications are working so anytime, just don't feel alone is what I'm saying Smile
