Hello
Thank you for your query.
Flatulence and decreased appetite might be a sign of pregnancy, but it is not confirmatory.
Also, toothache, backache and headache are not at all indicative of pregnancy.
For toothache and headache, you should see a Dentist, as you might have some tooth trouble.
The only way to find out if you are pregnant is to see a gynecologist.
You cannot perform a urine pregnancy test, because of your recent abortion, the menstrual pattern is not reliable.
If you had a missed abortion, then it is ideally advisable to conceive after 3 months after taking proper folic acid supplements and proper testing for cause of abortion.
If you had a voluntary abortion, there is no harm in continuing the pregnancy.
take care.
