Can Emergency Contraceptives Be Taken After 2 Weeks Of Medical Abortion?
I recently had an in clinical abortion. To be exact it was on July 10, 2015. I was instructed to not have sexual intercourse two weeks after the procedure and to use protection when the two weeks resumed. I did have sex two weeks after the abortion and we did use condoms as protection. I am now worried because we notice that the condom broke. How to I proceed? I am aware that the chances of getting pregnant again after an abortion is a huge possibility. Should I proceed with emergency contraception? Is it safe to do so? My partner and I didn t make the decision to terminate the pregnancy lightly and I wouldn t like to experience that again. Any information would help, Thank you.

Hello, welcome to HCM. Abortion is the treatement given to previous one. No where it will be related to future pregnancy. Emergency contraceptive are taken within 48 hrs of unprotected sex. You have to take emergency contraceptives after taking guidance from your doctor. But it is not safe to have repeated abortions like this. This will effect the wall of the uterus. Take care
