Yes that's why they took my blood. Because if it's a new pregnancy since I had unprotected sex I can start taking pre natual pills etc. she said that woman can ovulate anytime after abortion...just like after pregnancy miscarriage etc. she said if I am pregnant since I had a early abortion my uterus will be ready to conceive again so we woll see in a few days
