Can you get pregnant within one month after taking medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

Is there a possibility of pregnancy if you have sexual intercourse within one month after taking medication for an abortion? Is it normal if you don't get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello!
I am a teacher in obstetrics and gynecology, and I can answer this question for you.
Generally speaking, after ending a pregnancy, contraceptive measures should be taken 42 days later. If your previous menstrual cycle was normal, 28 days or 30 days, the possibility of getting pregnant within a month is very low. However, it is still advisable to avoid sexual activity, as the uterus is still damaged. Early sexual activity may lead to intrauterine infection.
