Patient's question:
I have had an abortion for 16 days. Yesterday, I had sex with my husband. I want to consult, will I get pregnant if I have sex 16 days after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you do not have sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion procedure, as an abortion is equivalent to a menstrual period. If you have sexual intercourse immediately after an abortion, it is very easy to become pregnant again. Since you have just had an abortion and it has been 16 days, if your menstrual period arrives on time, it should be exactly between two menstrual cycles, which falls within the range of the ovulation period. If you do not take contraceptive measures during intercourse, there is a high chance of becoming pregnant again. You can carefully observe the next menstrual cycle. If it is delayed again, you should first go to the hospital to check if pregnancy can be suspected.
