After an Abortion
The chances of another pregnancy occurring are greater than you may think after an abortion. Ovulation—the release of an egg—can occur as quickly as eight days following a medical abortion, depending on your cycle. This means another pregnancy is possible before your next period even begins.
With surgical abortions, the timing may vary. Your period may come earlier or later than expected as your uterus rebuilds its lining. Another pregnancy could occur.
It’s also important to be aware of potential complications that could affect your future fertility. Procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C) carry the risk of scar tissue forming on the uterine wall, a condition called Asherman’s syndrome. This can make it more difficult to conceive or successfully carry a pregnancy in the future.
