Hello Dear,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) Yes, you could be pregnant from today's unprotected sex as you may ovulate within 7-10 days following medical abortion or suction evacuation.
2) I suggest you to take emergency pill if you want to avoid this unwanted pregnancy. You should plan for pregnancy after gaping 3 months.
3) If you do not want to become pregnant right now, it is very important to start using regular contraceptives pills from the beginning.
Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.

Hello dear,
Welcome back again.
I mean to say that ovulation may occur within 7-10 days after completion of abortion process or suction evacuation (NOT the starting day).
If your starting date of abortion was 14 days ago, then you have quite risk of being pregnant as you are now on 14th day.
Though, exact ovulation day is unpredictable soon after medical abortion, you need to stay in safer side and take some emergency pill within 72 hrs or as early as possible.
Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care. Practice safe sex.
