Is Pregnancy Possible Through Protected Sex?

Hello, I had a medical abortion August 21, 2016. Today which is 5weeks and 4 days after the abortion. I have not received my period, I did have sex but used protection. Yesterday I went to my doctors for a check up. I also wanted to get birth control. They gave me a pregnancy test to insure that I wasn t pregnant. Test was negative, I received my birth control shot yesterday September 28. Today (September 29) I had an appointment for a papsmear with my gynecologist. I told them how my doctors office was slightly unprofessional and unorganized and that I didn t trust my pregnancy results. Well at my gyno , they gave me a pregnancy test. It came back negative. When I made it home, at 1:50pm. At 2:30pm I received a call from my gynecologist office. The nurse informed me that taking a good look at my pregnancy test , it showed a very very faint line. I m scheduled in one week to get blood work done, and to get another pregnancy test, to see if I still have pregnancy hormones, or if I m carrying a new pregnancy . My question is, is there a chance that I still have pregnancy hormones due to the abortion 5weeks ago? Or is there a high chance I m carrying a new pregnancy ?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Iz is known that there is no 100% safe protection and if condoms are used this percentage is around 96% so it is possible that you are pregnant but this risk is minor and the best way would be to perform pregnancy test again or check your blood beta HCg and ultrasound, This will reveal if there is embryo or not, everything else is just guessing.
I hope I have answered you query.
Wish you good heatlh. Regards
