Took Birth Control Pills After Surgical Abortion. Felt Sick After Unprotected Sex. If Pregnant Can Have Another Abortion?

Hi ,I had a surgical abortion on October 10 I was 6 weeks pregnant. I started my birth control on the following Tuesday I was supposed to start it on Sunday totally forgot so I called the dr office that did the procedure and the nurse instructed me to double up on wed I took two on tues two on we'd then starting Thursday took one to put me on track. I have continued to take the birth control daily since . I had unprotected sex 8days after my procedure . I know stupid the next day about 17 hours later took the morning after pill. Now for the last two days I feel sick. Do you believe I am pregnant also if so am I able to get another abortion right away or do I have to wait awhile?would it have to be a surgical one or can it be just medical?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You should wait for your next period to come.
You may be pregnant as you have taken pills irregularly and these are not 100% effective.
It may be due to other reasons also, so you can wait only.
Abortion by medical methods are approx. 98 % effective in early weeks.So,you may not require surgical intervention all the times. You should be proactive and confirm your pregnancy as early as possible and treat accordingly.
Get well soon

Take Care
