Q: Post-abortion Pregnancy
asked by: techcom123 on September 17th, 2006

I had unprotected sex approximately 3 weeks after I was given the chemical abortion pills (mifeprostol), and about a week after the bleeding/spotting stopped.

Is it possible to get pregnant during this time?

What is the earliest time I can conduct a home pregnancy test?

Hi there..

Yes you were at risk for pregnancy, unfortunately it is difficult to time ovulation after an abortion.

I actually became pregnant directly after an abortion when I was using 'the sponge'.. I cannot use hormonal birth control, so I used barriers, and I became pregnant. I did have another abortion.

The earliest you can take a home pregnancy test is 14-16 days after you had sex.. But you need to take an early one..

Why did you have unprotected sex? Are you now trying for a baby? Some women find they become desperate to be pregnant again after having an abortion and I wondered if this was the case with you.

Unprotected Sex After Abortion
I had an abortion about 3 weeks ago. I had unprotected sex the following week after the ocedure and has continued having unprotected up until this point. What is the possibility of me being pregnant again?
