Question
I had a abortion at 9 weeks July 12th and I bled for about a week after then it stopped then July 31st I bled a little bit until August 2nd I have still not had my period yet and I have had unprotected sex last week and was wondering if I have anything to worry about since I don't know when you ovulate after an abortion.
Hi Ashley,
why unprotected sex if you don't know if you're fertile ? An ovulation might take place already 10 days after the abortion.
If I were you, I should worry, and get a pregtest.
Periods and bloodloss after an abortion tend to be irregular and unpredictable for at least two months.
So, have a pregtest done, cross your fingers and do not have unprotected sex unless you want a baby.
Bye for now,
Dr Shan
