Can a person have an abortion right after their menstrual period if they are pregnant?

Patient's question:

Will it be easy to get pregnant right after the period, especially if there is no contraception? Will it lead to pregnancy? Can an abortion be performed?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your menstrual cycle is regular and the duration of your period is between 5-7 days, then sexual activity within 3 days after your period ends should not result in pregnancy. This is mainly because there is no ovulation at this time, and the uterus also lacks the conditions for implantation. However, if your menstrual cycle is irregular or very light, with a prolonged duration, it is actually possible to ovulate right after your period ends, and sexual activity within 3 days after your period could lead to pregnancy. For an abortion, it is best to do it between 35 and 50 days of pregnancy.
