Question
I had a surgical abortion 1 week ago. I started my nuvaring 7 days and have had sex with my husband since starting the ring. We used the withdrawal "method". Is it possible I could be pregnant since I started the nuvaring 7 days after procedure?
Hi Lailah,
did noboddy tell you not to have sex during 3 weeks after the abortion ?
The connection with the whomb is open and infection occurs easily.
You took a great risk.
Withdrawal method is no method. "When will they ever learn".
This has nothing to do with nuvaring or no nuvaring.
± 12 days after the abortion an ovulation follows.
The chance that you became pregnant is there, but not very great.
Take better care of yourself, and to be sure, do a pregtest in two weeks time.
