Question
Hello Doctor. I had an abortion on 4/19 and i took the medicine fully that was given plus a daily vitamin supplement. I didn't bleed at all after the procedure. I began taking my birth control bills already. I feel great with no symptoms at all. Its been 6 days.Is it safe to have protected sex or should I just wait the 2-week clearance period

Answer
Hi Marquita,

You did not bleed at all......????
Are you sure you were pregnant ?
After the pill induced abortion EVERYONE bleeds.
Or did you have a surgical abortion / That is not clear to me.
Its always better to wait two weeks after an abortion as the uterus is not closed yet and infection may
occur.
So please have some patience,
bests,
Dr Shan
