What should I do if I have sexual intercourse after an abortion without contraception?

Patient's question:

Last month on the 11th, I had an abortion. Yesterday on the 4th, we had sex and I wasn't breastfeeding. Is there a possibility of getting pregnant? Should I take some anti-inflammatory medication or birth control pills? I bought a menopause test strip, but I won't use it—customer service said not to test. Besides Wufei Kang tablets, can I take them after a miscarriage? Besides birth control pills, the certificate I received states that I am under 17 and cannot use birth control pills. I only turned 17 on the 8th of this month, so can I take them?

Doctor's answer:

According to your question, on October 11th, you had a minor abortion surgery, and under normal circumstances, it is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse for one month. On the fourth of this month, you had sexual intercourse. Under normal circumstances, it should not be the ovulation period, and you would definitely not get pregnant. However, after a miscarriage and a D&C, it is very easy to get pregnant, so it is difficult to be certain that you will not get pregnant. You can take an emergency contraceptive pill, but after taking it, it may cause menstrual disorders.
