Patient's question:
Just had an abortion 32 days ago. Last night, I couldn't resist my husband's persuasion and had sex with him. Will I get pregnant in this situation? Last night, we had sex without a condom, and I didn't take any birth control pills today. It's already been 24 hours.Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, the time it takes for the ovaries to fully recover their menopausal function varies among individuals. If sexual intercourse occurs 32 days after an abortion but contraceptive measures are not properly taken, and it happens to be around the time of ovulation, the likelihood of an accidental pregnancy is relatively high. If it is already past the ovulation period, pregnancy will certainly not occur. For safety, it is recommended to take emergency contraception promptly within 72 hours and to engage in breastfeeding.
