Trish,
Abstinence is the only way to be 100% sure to not get pregnant. If you
aren't on the pill, I hope you are using condoms and foam for
protection. It isn't impossible to get pregnant soon after an abortion
or miscarriage. My suggestion to you is use a reliable form of birth
control. If you are unsure if you might be pregnant or not, please see
your gyn for a blood pregnancy test. Hope this helped some. Best
wishes.
