Hello and welcome.

The best person to ask on here is carifairy.

Someone else came on here about a week ago and asked the same sort of question(am I still pregnant after abortion) unfortunately it got deleted due to some problems with the site.

Anyway, what kind of abortion did you have?

And yes most girls do still have pregnancy symptoms a while after abortion, I was still getting them about a month after.

I think its like 1/100 women who have an abortion and it not sucessfully work. Have you been for your check up?

Sorry I havent answered many of your questions but I hope I put some rest to your mind.

Good luck, keep us posted!

I am not a dr but I do agree partially with cherry88, part of it might be from the abortion, I bled real light after mine too but a lot of your symptoms could be from the b/c pill that they put you on. Have you taken a hpt? About the only thing I could suggest is to go get checked out with your dr as we are all different and the pill might be causing a lot of this. Cairifairy is very good on this topic, she has been a lot of help to those who have had abortions!
All the best to you!

One thing to consider with your situation is the amount of activity you did have after your aboriton. After an abortion it is pretty common to have more bleeding if you are more active, or if suddenly start activities soon after an abortion. You went on vacation, so your body definately did have some stress associated with travel.

Since you were on the pill for 1 week, you were protected from pregnancy =) the bleeding and spotting pattern you had on the trip could be from a combo of using the pill, taking ec, and having the abortion.

Anytime you have pains, you shouldc ertianly seek the advice of your doc. It could have been from your trip, and the activities which you would have participated in.

Usually women are told to take it very very easy the first week-2 weeks weeks after an abortion.

Hvaing sex soon after an abortion can cause an infection, but you would have a higher fever associated with an infection. You would have noticed an infection, I am sure of it...

Thanks everyone!

I was telling my mom about the symptoms, she doesnt know about the abortion, but she was suggesting that it may be some sort of an ovarian cyst (?). Does this have any corilatin with an abortion or have any of the similar symptoms - weight gain, abdominal pain, headaches?

Sorry for stretching my questions out so far! I enjoy hearing what everyone has to say to help me out!

Thanks!

Some of it could be from your activity level after the abortion...

Birth control can also cause bloating the very first few months you use it...

Have you been back to the doctor for your post abortion check-up??

I was unable to attend the appointment because I left so soon for my trip, and was gone for so long. I wasnt around anyone who knew, so I had no one to talk to and didnt feel comfortable asking a dr I was unfamiliar with.

Thank you for all of your suggestions and possibilities... I'll do the smart thing as well and see a doctor for even more reassurance
