Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about my situation. I had a medication-induced abortion two months ago due to various reasons, but I was planning to have a child. After the abortion, I took folic acid tablets for two months. During this month, I also took emergency contraception pills twice because I was advised not to conceive immediately after the abortion, so I took emergency contraception pills while still taking folic acid. Now, it has been three months since the abortion, and I am planning to have a child. Is it okay? Before the medication-induced abortion, my menstrual flow was very light, and after the abortion, it became even lighter. Is it possible that if the menstrual flow is light, ovulation does not occur, and I can still get pregnant? Can I have a child?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended to wait for three to twelve months after taking emergency contraception before trying to conceive. Since you had a medication-induced abortion three months ago and have also taken emergency contraception, it is advisable to wait for at least a year before attempting to conceive. The above advice is in response to the question, "Does having a low menstrual flow mean ovulation is not occurring? Can I get pregnant?" I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
