Can you do a post-abortion check-up during your menstrual period?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion on November 7th. Because the abortion wasn't done cleanly, I went back for a D&C on November 20th. From November 20th, after the D&C, I had a little bit of bleeding until November 30th. After November 30th, it stopped. On December 15th, it should have been my period, but as of today, December 21st, there's only a tiny bit of blood, and it seems like it's almost done. Tomorrow, I have to go for a post-abortion check-up. I have a little bit of blood now. Can I still have the check-up? If there's still leftover blood from the abortion in my uterus, can it be detected?
Please answer! Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, you can do pre-pregnancy tests 3 days after your menstrual period ends. Even if the tests are normal, you cannot get pregnant now. You need to wait for 6 months before you can try to conceive. During this time, pay attention to a diversified diet, stay away from various injuries and radiation sources, take care of your private hygiene, and maintain a happy mood.
