I had a termination of pregnancy in first trimester on March 27th for my health reasons (for pro-lifers information).
Phisically I feel fine.How soon can me and my husband resume sexual activity after ?

You really need to ask your doctor this...

She should avoid intercourse or anything in the vagina for about 10 to 14 days. Stress that if increased bleeding and cramping recur, she should immediately see a physician or go to an emergency room. Address contraception as indicated. Often the delay of a contraception method only exposes the woman to another pregnancy because ovulation can occur as soon as two weeks after termination. About two weeks after an abortion the woman should be examined for evidence of infection or remaining products of conception. If the examination is normal, discuss future plans and provide contraception as appropriate

You really should consult your doctor on this one. But would venture a guess at about 3-6 weeks, to allow the body to heal properly.
Also, you may want to avoid unprotected sex for 2-3 cycles to allow your body time to re-regulate after your loss before trying to become pregnant again (if this is what you want to do).
Good luck.

That is a hard call... I would wait for at least 2 weeks or even 3 to make sure that your insides are ok. They need to heal before you have sex. If you don't you could be looking at an infection, which you really don't need or want. Please, for your sake and your husband's wait a little while before you do make love.
God Bless you and good luck.

Wait until your follow up. Your doctor should've advised you at the time of the termination for post procedure care, but in case he or she didn't, or you forgot what they said, wait until you have your follow up check up. I believe the follow up is a week or two after the procedure is done.

I believe it was 6-8 weeks. You should be on antibiotics.

Restrict yourself for 40 days.
