General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As a physician, I would like to tell you that after your first abortion, if you had safe sexual intercourse while using contraception methods, you have nothing to worry about. I would also like to tell you that if you had any unprotected sexual contact after your fist period on 22 October, you should visit your Obgy doctor and get evaluated to rule out the pregnancy or any other causes delaying your menstruation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
