Pregnancy After Abortion
Many women are surprised to learn that it’s possible to become pregnant again soon after an abortion. Ovulation, the release of an egg, can occur as quickly as eight days after a medical abortion, depending on your cycle. A new pregnancy could start to develop before your next period even starts.
Following a surgical abortion, the timing of your next ovulation and period can vary. Your body may need time to regulate, but conceiving within a few weeks is still possible.
There are also potential risks associated with abortion that could impact future fertility. For example, procedures like dilation and curettage (D&C) carry a small risk of developing scar tissue in the uterus, known as Asherman’s syndrome. This condition can make it more difficult to become pregnant or carry a pregnancy to term in the future.
