Patient's question:
Two weeks ago, I accidentally got pregnant and then had a medication abortion. It has been 15 days now, and my boyfriend wants to have sex. I'm afraid of getting pregnant again. Will I get pregnant if I have sex 15 days after a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
After taking medication for an abortion, it is generally recommended to avoid sexual intercourse for at least one month. Having sex 15 days after medication abortion may lead to pregnancy. Additionally, during this period, the immune system is relatively weak, and early sexual activity can easily cause inflammation. Since medication abortion is equivalent to a menstrual period, 15 days after medication is typically within the range of the ovulation period. During this time, sexual activity can easily result in pregnancy.
