Dr. Rixt Luikenaar answered

Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Pregnant?: Are you using contraception? Your period could stay out for 4-6 weeks after an abortion especially a d/c. If you have pain and discharge; see your doc! you can resume intercourse 2 weeks after a d/c but should use condoms/contraception? Please do a pregnancy test and see your doctor. Also please start a prenatal vitamin if this is a possible desired pregnancy.
