Expert: - 1/27/2010


Question
I got an abortion about 3 days ago, and I have been doing a lot of research about the wait on sex afterwards. Every site has their own time period frame before you can have sex without risk of an infection. I am just wondering if you could give me a little clarification on this subject. I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks.  

Answer
Hi Jessyca,

I love your name! First of all, I received your question in the question pool at allexperts.com
Someone didn't or couldn't answer your question and so placed it in the pool. I received your question so will try to answer.

I would recommend at least 2 weeks wait. Usually you have a post abortion followup appointment at this time and at your checkup, you could ask about when to resume sex.

If you have any post abortion problems, just email me at CHERYL51@aol.com as I offer free counseling. Also if you just want to talk, feel free to email me.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
