Q: Pregnant After Abortion???

asked by: jordansMOM on January 3rd, 2006

New User

I had an abortion on dec 02, I was 8 weeks gestation. My pregnancy symptoms dissapeared 4 days after the abortion. It has been 4 weeks and 4 days since and I have not had my period. I started having sex 3 days after the abortion and keep in mind that I did not start any form of birth control. All of a sudden 6 days ago I started experiencing pregnancy symptoms (constipation, gas, headaches and dizziness). Friday, exactly 4 weeks after the abortion I had went to the bathroom and when I wiped I noticed a little bit of light colored blood along with clear sticky discharge, this lasted only a day. I took a hpt that day and it said neg. Could I be pregnant??? I called my dr but he is out of town until next week. Help me I need some advice....

That may have been implantation bleeding......

I don't know how it is to have an abortion, so it may be something women experience after having one.

Why would you get an abortion and then not use any form of birth control? :roll:

So what are you going to get another abortion if you are pregnant now? Ya know birth control is alot cheaper .

Could be pregnant or although you felt like the pregnancy symtoms had gone after 4 days the hormones can take abit longer to get back to normal it could just be this. Like others have said if you dont want a baby you should be using some kind of birth control. I had an abortion over a year ago now and the first thing the doctor did when she saw me was to prescribe me the pill. Regardless of whether your pregnant or not I think you should see your doctor when he gets back. Good luck.

Yeah good luck. :roll: I hope to god that you are not pregnant. So another baby doent have to suffer the way you made that last baby. Do you know exactly what a baby in utero goes thru during an abortion?

Oh and thanks alot for posting this in the "getting pregnant" forum so you can piss off all of us who are actually trying to bring life into this world instead of killing it. Real nice.

They should start a new forum for people like you. How about a "im irrisponsible and use abortion as birth control forum" then you can all get together and feel sorry for yourselves because you are going to kill innocent babies.

Oh and I hope you get on some birth control asap.

Thats real harsh! How can you judge somebody like that when you have no idea of the whole situation. I agree this probably wasnt the best forum for the post to have been written and the post itself doesnt make this women look v.Good but if you are so against abortion why did you read a post titled 'pregnant after abortion?' I am fully aware that people have very different views on abortion and fair enough, but not every women finds it an easy option and you should not go round saying that people are baby killers without all the details!

it generally takes up to eight weeks to have a period after an abortion. It's medically advised not to have sex until seven days after an abortion, because that area needs to heal. Also, you're extremely fertile after an abortion, so if you didn't use birth control, there is a fairly good chance you are pregnant again. Definitely get in touch with your doc as soon as you can.

Hey I just have to put my two cents in. I went to that abortion site. How horrible. I almost got sick. I can't believe people actually do that. You deffinently came to the wrong site to ask about abortion. Abortion isn't a form of birth controll maybe you should buy some or keep your legs closed. Did adoption ever cross your mind? And if you were ttc then why would you have an abortion. I think we all would like to the answer to that.

Jordansmom, I just don't get it. Granted, i've never been your position, so I can't really judge. But I think we all deserve to know why, in your other posts, you are ttc.... And in this post, you inform us that you just got an abortion. Which is true? And if you are pregnant, are you going to get another abortion? I don't get it. Everything happens for a reason, and if you got pregnant, there's a reason for it. Accept the consequences; don't run from them.

Well its hard to support someone who is ttc and is successful..And then goes and gets an abortion..While there are sooo many people in here that are ttc for so long and may never succeed or have to struggle all the way...Or miscarry...If you got preg by accident and decided to have an abortion people may be more understanding (**note; i'm not saying I support abortion...So don't bite me**) ....But ttc and then have an abortion.Just doesn't make sense or seem fair....

How can you ask for support, when no1 understands what you want support for. No1 understands whether you actually want to be pregnant or not, and if you do why have the abortion a few weeks ago?
