Patient's question:
I got pregnant unexpectedly and had to have an abortion. I am currently resting and recovering at home. How long should I wait before trying to get pregnant again after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,In normal circumstances, it is not advisable for a woman to conceive again within six months after an induced abortion. Therefore, it is recommended that you consider another painless induced abortion. However, there is no need to worry excessively. You can wait for 14 days after intercourse and then use a pregnancy test kit or visit the hospital for a blood HCG test to confirm. If you do become pregnant and decide to keep the child, it is important to undergo regular prenatal check-ups.
