Hi. I had an abortion on 3/16 and have since been feeling extremely guilty. Want to become pregnant again. Had some bleeding a few days ago, felt like a menstrual cycle, but only spotted for a few hours. Could I be pregnant?
I'd be surprised if you ovulated again so soon after your abortion. So no, I don't think you're pregnant.
My advice: If you had an abortion it is because at that time you didn't think this was a good time in your life to have a baby. Getting pregnant again will not bring back the baby you lost so I don't see the point. Why not wait for a time in your life when the reason(s) why you had an abortion no longer exist?
Also, why try to get pregnant again so soon? If you decide after a few months that you still want to have a baby, go right ahead. But at least give your body (and mind) some time to heal.
I understand that you regret having the abortion, and that's okay. But what's done is done. You need to move forward in your life. The best thing for you and your future children to do is to heal emotionally and move on. Do what's best for you. And if you need help, please do reach out. Therapy can really help.

It takes 4-5 weeks to have your first period after a medical abortion ( i had one 2 days ago) the bleeding in between is quite normal as you only had it a couple of weeks ago!
Give ita while for your emotions/hormones to calm down before you make any decisions having a child is a huge decision!
