Thank You for the reply!

I am married and for prevention we use pull out method. I have gone through pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. BY ANY CHANCE CAN I BE PREGNANT AGAIN, or its only due to imbalanced harmones?? and what is the best way not to conceive as I have to complete my studies before baby.

Brief Answer:

Use a regular contraceptive pill.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

If the pregnancy test is negative then pregnancy is ruled out. These tests are 97% accurate.

The decreased bleeding can be due to weakness after an abortion or due to anovulatory cycles after an abortion. This gradually comes back to normal in the next 2-3 cycles.

To avoid conception it is best to use a regular contraceptive pill like Ovral-L. Pull out method has a high failure rate of upto 30%/.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
