Surgical termination of pregnancy is decided for various reasons. Women who have had an abortion may ask themselves the question - is it possible to become pregnant after such an operation and how soon this should be feared.
Most often, a woman who has an abortion is afraid of a new pregnancy. The reasons for this can be very different - from social to psychological. Most often, artificial termination of pregnancy is used for the reason that it is during this period that the birth of a child is undesirable.
When can pregnancy occur after an abortion
You can get pregnant after an abortion after eleven days - this is the middle of the menstrual cycle. The body considers the artificial termination of pregnancy as the beginning of the cycle. If the endometrial layer in the uterus has grown normally, and ovulation occurs on time, nothing interferes with fertilization, with the exception of various types of contraception.
Conception can also occur when the menstrual cycle is unstable due to abortion. Therefore, even before the operation, it is imperative to take care of the method of contraception, and start using contraception as early as possible.
Immediately after the artificial termination of pregnancy and until the time the next menstrual cycle occurs, the use of some methods of contraception is either impossible or ineffective. These methods include temperature and calendar. The menstrual cycle is likely to be disrupted due to the operation, and the usual symptoms of ovulation may change for a while.
If the artificial termination of pregnancy is performed correctly, no complications are noted, sexual activity in most cases can be resumed already on the fourth day. But the likelihood of getting pregnant at this time is quite high, and contraception should not be neglected in any case.
What is the danger of pregnancy after an abortion
After an abortion, you can plan a pregnancy no earlier than a year later. This is the period during which a woman can recover and grow stronger in order to fully bear the child.
In some cases, pregnancy immediately after surgery is accompanied by problems related to the growth and development of the fetus. A woman's health during this period can also be seriously affected. For example, an improper attachment to the endometrium of the ovum can be attributed to frequent complications during such a pregnancy. It can attach to the lower part of the uterus or even to the cervix, which makes it impossible for the further course of pregnancy. The resulting cervical pregnancy adversely affects the health of the woman.
