QUESTION: well i had intercourse on 9 july around 1 pm, and i ate the pill on the same day after 2-3 hours.. am i safe ? are the chances of getting pregnant high considering my abortion 3 weeks ago ?

Answer
Hi Apey,

you did very well.
Take no risks.
10 days after an abortion you can be pregnant again, so you were smart to take the MAP.
Now you better choose a permanent contraceptive; and never have unprotected sex anymore when you do not want a baby.
Bests,
Dr Shan
