Patient's question:
Because I and my husband haven't been ready to have children recently, we have always taken precautions. However, I accidentally forgot to take one recently, which led to me getting pregnant. Then I had an abortion. After the abortion, we had sex on the 32nd day and the 34th day, but I wonder if it's possible to get pregnant even with precautions?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if contraceptive measures are used during cohabitation, pregnancy is unlikely, but it cannot be guaranteed 100%. It is recommended to have a blood test for HCG at the hospital 10 days after cohabitation, as this is the earliest and most sensitive indicator for early pregnancy detection. Menstruation usually returns 30 to 50 days after an abortion procedure. Even if menstruation has not returned and recovery is complete, contraceptive measures should still be used during cohabitation, as the absence of menstruation post-surgery could also indicate menopause, which would still carry the possibility of pregnancy.
