Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

After an abortion sometimes it takes one or two cycles for the normal ovulation to return. Since you took plan B within 24 hours of having an unprotected sex, the protection against pregnancy is more than 97%.

There is no need to worry. After taking Plan B your periods might be delayed by a few days which are not suggestive of pregnancy.

Hope, this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.

Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Is it possible to ovulate that quickly after an abortion?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (7 minutes later)

Hello,
Thanks for writing again.

It is not likely to ovulate just 8 days after abortion. So, the chances of conception in your case are even lesser.

Hope my answer is helpful.
