Hi..i would like to explain to you that during pregnancy ,normal menstrual cycles are suspended due to no ovulation because of suppression of reproductive hormones. But as soon as pregnancy is terminated as in abortion, this suppression of reproductive hormones is gone and any time ovulation can resume..so if ovum is released, surely the sperm can fertilise it and hence pregnancy might occur anytime after abortion..so be cautious, perform a urine pregnancy test by self at home..
I would suggest you to please use a condom or any other birth control method from the next time..it is much easier to do and less risky ( in fact beneficial) than repeated abortions..
For your headache,you can take paracetamol tablet which is safe in pregnancy..
