Patient's question:
I haven't married my boyfriend yet, and after we started living together, I got pregnant. I'm planning to have a medication abortion. How long after the medication abortion can I get pregnant again?Doctor's answer:
After a general medication-induced abortion, there should be a three-month waiting period before trying to conceive again, as the body needs some time to fully recover. Therefore, the first three months after the abortion, menstruation may be irregular. This can lead to a recurrence of miscarriage if pregnancy occurs during this period, and it may also make it difficult to conceive. After a miscarriage, if you want to conceive, you should start taking folic acid. Generally, three months later, you can arrange for intercourse during the ovulation period to conceive.
