Hi there I got my birth control removed Feb 27 of this year and bled for almost two weeks after that it was IUD that they insert into my vagina. I had it in for 2/5 years and after that my period was normal but last month my period was way lighter than normal and it was one day shorter, today marks two weeks since my period was supposed to begin and when I woke up I felt like I needed to throw up after awhile it went away. Ketup has a really strong taste to it now and we buy the same one constantly and I get cramps in my stomach and lower back. I took a home test and it came back negative I took it early in the morning and it was my first urination of the day. I don’t know if I should wait until the end of this month to go to the doctor or wait a week to take another home test. My boyfriend is really excited that I might be pregnant please help me what to do.
Hi Mary, retest a week after your missed period. All the best.
I had my period on 12th June 2017 and I had unprotected sex on 25th June 2017 but had my period again on 16th July can I still be pregnant
Hello Hilda, take a pregnancy test 1 week after your missed period.
Hi. So I had just lost my virginity yesterday and we had unprotected sex and he pulled out before he ejaculated. I am 18 and it was about 2-3 days before my period is supposed to start. Is there a very likely chance for me to get pregnant or not? I am kind of worried and paranoid about it. Thank you.
Hi there Beth, the pull out method doesn’t always work. However if you miss a period, take a pregnancy test 1 week after your missed period.
I had my period on the 2nd July and had unprotected sex on the 16th of July 2017 can I get pregnant if I had unprotected sex
Hello Anita, yes, once you had unprotected sex the risk exists.
I had medical abortion bleeding for 2 weeks today its my 5th week after bleeding and I’m taking pregnancy test the result was clear negative but faint positive always. How would I know if I’m pregnant again ? I’m confused right now don’t know when my period is coming and I didn’t feel any signs of pregnancy but why up to now my PT is faint positive 😐. Waiting for your answers thanks a lot ..

Hey! !! I had an abortion on 26 of june and bled till 2 july n then bleeding stopped like periods are over but now on 8 july I again started bleeding like normal periods. .. What does it mean please help I am really very worried. ..
Hi there Riya, this is a bit common during the process of abortion. Your body will go back to normally soon.
Hi. I had a medical abortion on June the 24, a day after my expected period. I took a pregnancy test on June 23, and it read 1-2 weeks pregnant. I bleed a bit on that Saturday (day of abortion), then it stopped on Sunday, and started again late Monday, finished completely on Sunday.
My question is, since I terminated on these days, can I still count it as my normal period, which means that on this cycle I’m still gonna ovulate on the expected days?
And also, which one of these days can I say was my day one of this cycle since I stopped and started again a couple of days later.
And lastly, having an abortion on these days, when can I expect my next period?
Hello Daisy, a period typically returns within 3-6 weeks after an abortion, please read the following link for more information: https://womanjunction.com/menstrual-cycle-abortion/

Hello Temitope, the only way to really know is by taking a pregnancy test, this can be done a week after pregnancy.
Tina,
Hi I had my menses on 14-18th June and had unprotected sex on 23,25 and26 of June can I be pregnant, please help.
Hi Tina, yes, the occurrence of unprotected sex provides a risk for pregnancy.
I don’t think I usually ovulate. And whenever I want to see my period or before I see my period my breast and nipple become so painful. I need help because I’ve been trying to conceive for some time now

Hi I am worried, I had an abortion on the 11th may 2017 and today the 29th June 2017 still haven’t seen my period, am I pregnant? But I took 2 test saying negative.
Hi there Breaba, though the typical time a period should return after an abortion is 3-6 weeks, some women’s period take a while longer to return, if it doesn’t come within 10 days then see your doctor.
