I had an abortion 3 and a half weeks ago as pressured into by family and boyfriend

Hi Guest,

There is a possibility that you could be pregnant.  The unfortunate thing will be time, you will have to wait awhile to test.  You can still get a false positive with your last pregnancy being terminated - how far along were you?  I'm really not sure how long you would have to wait or the other thing you do is call your doctor and get the blood test confirmation as they will know where your HCG levels should be at after your procedure.

I'm also sorry that you got pressured into something you didn't want to do.  Sound familiar?  That's called peer pressure, it's your body and you get to decide what can be done with it whether it's what everyone else wants or not.

Usually with birth control the first week you are recommended to use another source of contraceptives as well, this is for how long it takes to become effective.  So you are at risk for pregnancy if you were ovulating at all during this month.

How old are you (if I may ask)?

Hope this helps

Thank u. I was seven weeks and two days according to ultrasound. It just wasn't how everyone dreams it will be ya kno but now I realise that sometimes real life is more important than ur dreams. I put off going to the doctors twice before I actually went as I just didn't feel ready but then they said it was getting late and I really had to decide what I wanted for everyone's sake. Now I think whatever happens its gonna be about what I want not everyone else. I have stopped bleeding completely now and I took a two line pregnancy test a week ago and will take the other in two weeks time to see if the lines are any different as I kno it will still be showing positive. The waiting game is horrible :(

Good for you, make the decision you want not what others want (that is the time we regret our decision, when it's not ours). The waiting game is the first thing that a baby teaches us - patience. My daughter taught me that the first couple of days and I thank her every day for that. Also, if you think this is tough wait until you are pregnant and at 8 months you are absolutely done with being pregnant and want that baby out - and then they are overdue, urgh!
