What about after the abortion?
A normal period should begin in 4-8 weeks. Ovulation can occur at any time after the abortion so birth control is needed to prevent pregnancy. If you are using birth control pills, a backup method is recommended for the first 4 weeks (one cycle) of pills..
To reduce risk of infection in the first 1-2 weeks after an abortion
do not have intercourse or douche
do not take a tub bath or go swimming
avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (over 15 pounds)
avoid alcohol, aspirin and marijuana which may cause heavier bleeding
do not use tampons until your next period

You should wait 6 weeks before you have sex again. May sure you take the birth control everyday at the same time for it to be most effective. You are very fertile after abortions, you will become pregant agin very fast if you are not careful.

Wait 2-4 weeks. There is an increased chance of infection before then. Make sure to keep your follow-up appointment with your MD, and get his okay before.

I thought you were supposed to wait 4-6wks.......Even if it was medical it still was a procedure and you have to have time to heal in there!!! Be safe and I would look at your discharge or paperwork, I am 100% sure it will state on them somewhere....

The ONLY person qualified to answer that question is your gynecologist. Ask her (or him).
