Brief Answer:
Can plan pregnancy now
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
i have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
After an abortion, one can plan pregnancy after 6 weeks.
However, you should get your blood sugar levels and thyroid levels checked, as they should be in normal range before planning pregnancy.
You should also start taking folic acid tablet 5 mg a day , as taking it in preconceptional and periconceptional period reduces the chances of congenital anomalies and abortion in the fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
