Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.The ideal interval for repeat pregnancy after an abortion is 6 months, however you can plan pregnancy after 4 months, provided you have started taking folic acid tablet 5 mg a day for at least 2 months preconceptionally.
Folic acid is given to reduce the incidence of congenital anomalies and abortion in the fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
