A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
