Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult. I am in this situation: two months ago, due to various reasons, I had a medication-induced abortion. However, 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 twice because I was not allowed to conceive immediately after the abortion, so I took emergency contraception, but I still continued taking folic acid tablets. Next month will be three months after the abortion, and I am planning to have a child. Is it okay now? 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 abortion three months ago and have also taken emergency contraception, it is advisable to wait for at least a year before getting pregnant. This 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.
