Could I Get Pregnant A Few Months After An Abortion?

Hi! I think I'm pregnant since I'm 3 days late. However, my pregnancy test (I used Quick Stick) showed negative results. I took 2 tests before my first missed period day and 1 more test yesterday morning. All negative.

I have a 8 month daughter. I had an abortion 3 months ago. My last period started on Jan.20.

I'm not ready to have another baby right now.

What should I do?

Thanks,

T

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

In the setting of a negative pregnancy test at the time of a missed period, the chance of pregnancy remains very small. It is also possible that the test was just done too early based on some minor irregularity in terms of when you ovulated. Here is what you should do:

1. Recheck the pregnancy test one week after the missed period
2. If the test remains negative, then talk to your doctor about progesterone to induce a period
3. Then get on a birth control

I hope that this helps and good luck!
