How long after medication abortion can you have a child?

Patient's question:

I had a medication abortion on December 19th. At the time, I didn't pay attention to whether there was any pregnancy tissue expelled. Afterward, a pregnancy test showed negative, and I also didn't have any bleeding a week later. Is it possible that the medication abortion was successful? When can I try to get pregnant again?

Doctor's answer:

Three months pregnant, fetal death occurred in utero. After medication-induced abortion, a uterine curettage was performed. Generally, it is recommended to wait for 6 months before getting pregnant again after a miscarriage.
There are many reasons for fetal death in utero. If this happens occasionally, there is usually no need to investigate the cause. However, if it occurs consecutively twice, a detailed examination is necessary to determine the reason. It is advisable to wait for 6 months before getting pregnant again. Early pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage.
