Question 1

do you have to abstain from sex after an abortion?

Accepted Answer

Good idea: Abstainence allows the uterus to return to normal size and the body to replace nutrients and red blood cells lost during the previous procedure. Moreover, the cervical os(opening) needs to close and your risk of infection increases when you immediately "entertain" intra-vaginal visitors post abortion. See your md for an exam before resuming sexual intercourse.

Question 2

thoughts? could sex still feel good after my abortion?

Accepted Answer

Should do: Important that you don't have feelings of guilt. Am sure you have weighed up all the consequences & your age suggests that you have. Might benefit from some counselling or couple of visits to a psychiatrist in case of guilt feelings. Otherwise sex should be just as pleasant as it was, once you have recovered from the procedure.

Question 3

is protected sex one week after a medical abortion safe?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes: But would check with the abortionist to make sure that there were no specific circumstances that would pertain directly to you because of the nature of the procedure.  Good luck.

Question 4

why are you supposed to wait a week without sex after abortion pill?

Accepted Answer

Rest your body: The pills terminate the pregnancy and elimate the contents of the uterus.  This could lead to infection or trauma if sexual activity is resumed.  It is reasonable to hold off for 2-4 weeks after the procedure.

Question 5

hi, wanted to know if it is safe to have protected sex 2 weeks after abortion pill?

Accepted Answer

Did you followup?: 1.  Did u follow-up with your DR 1-2 wks after taking the  medical abortion regimen to confirm u were no longer pregnant? If so, 2.  What are u using for contraception to prevent another unintended pregnancy? If you want to delay pregnancy &gt;1yr, I strongly recommend an IUD or Implant, as they provide the most effective contraception and don't rely on remembering to do something. Use condoms too.

Question 6

can i have oral sex after abortion pill?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Yes. But be careful.  Partner should wear condom!

Question 7

what if i had sex after an abortion pill?

Accepted Answer

Really?: If the abortion has been completed and the md has examined you post procedure there is usually a 1 to 2 week wait for sexual activity to resume to prevent infection. Resuming immediate sex post abortion of any kind is more of a 'male type' question as most females 're-think the behavior' that cause the procedure in the first place-unprotected sex.

Question 8

hi,  a week after abortion,  is it safe to have protected sex?

Accepted Answer

Sex post abortion: Sexual relations after an abortion are usually "safe" in terms of infection, etc., but do not depend on a long interval if what you mean by "safe" includes pregnancy.  Ovulation may occur any time after 12-20 days after pregnancy termination.

Question 9

how long do you have to wait to receive oral sex after an abortion?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain...: I doubt if there is any study which was specifically designed and done to address the issue in this question. But commone sense of understanding tissue healing and how the endometrium resurfaces after each period suggests a minimal period of 2 weeks or more should be sufficient. More? Ask your gynecologist for instant reliable advice.

Question 10

medical abortion is possible till which month.. i had sex on 12 june? today is aug 21 is it possible for me ?

Accepted Answer

See a clinic: You need to see a doctor or clinic that provides such treatment asap if this is what you want to do.  I would like to remind you that this is a safe and legal medical procedure but there are many barriers to access and other options.  There are always adoptive parents wanting a healthy baby and abortion can cause you serious medical or emotional  side effects.
