Does Absence Of Bleeding With Cramps Suggest Pregnancy?
I had an abortion on April 23 and I was sexually active from May 30 up-to-date ,I had slight bleeding before this but every time I had sex I bled heavily and spot the next day.My bleeding stopped 3-4 weeks after and could only spot after having sex. All of sudden I stopped bleeding completely but I could experience very strong crumps and vomiting not even pills could ease that pain ,the pain went away itself.for a moment i began to believe that i might be pregnant again. On June 02 I started to feel menstrual cramps again which had disappeared in a while and started bleeding some hours later. Am totally confused could I be pregnant, could be my period, could I have an infection or could this be a continuation of my bleeding due to abortion????. ..please doctor your response will be appreciated.....

Hi
Thanks for writing and i have gone through your query.
As you have mentioned that sexually active and if it is unprotected sexual activity there is always possibility of pregnancy.
One of the earliest and simplest way to know that you are pregnant or not, is by using, urine pregnancy test.
Most experts advise that you should wait at least one day after your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test, though waiting a week is considered best. This can be tough when you are anxious to find out if you're pregnant, but waiting allows for a higher degree of accuracy when taking the test, as hCG levels rise rapidly in pregnant women.
It's best to do the home pregnancy test first thing in the morning, when your urine is most concentrated and hCG levels are highest.
So I advice you to perform a test a week after missed period and with morning sample of urine. This test kits are nearly 98% accurate, so reliable.
With transvaginal ultrasonography, the diagnosis of pregnancy can be made earlier by 4-5 weeks gestation.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely
