How long does it take for ovulation to return after an abortion?

Patient's question:

Last time I was five months pregnant, a detailed 4D ultrasound detected fetal abnormalities. Following the doctor's advice, I underwent an induced abortion. Now, the whole family is waiting for me to get pregnant again, but I feel that I'm not in my ovulation period now because my vaginal discharge is very little. How long does it take for ovulation to return to normal after an induced abortion?

Doctor's answer:

At five months of pregnancy, after a miscarriage, menstruation usually returns completely within about a month. About two weeks before menstruation, menopause is completely restored. However, it is not recommended to conceive immediately after a mid-pregnancy miscarriage. At least three months should pass, and it is best to wait a year before trying to conceive again. The body needs a certain period of time to fully recover after a miscarriage. During the ovulation period, there may be a secretion similar to egg white, but the absence of this secretion does not mean that menopause has not occurred.
