Had an medical abortion 4 days ago just had sex with my husband now I have to go to my check up in 2 days doc said to wait 2 weeks but hopefully all is well I feel normal
Hi,
As far as I have heard, it's advised to wait for four to seven days after taking the abortion pill (misoprostol?). You may bleed something like two weeks but you can still have sex at the time your provider tells you it's OK. Though mind you, you'll want to get birth control of some sort ASAP because obviously you can get pregnant again.
I think you have to wait a while longer to have sex again after a surgical abortion just because of the increased risk of infection and so on, but I am not sure about this actually.
I have recently had a surgical abortion, I'm in England, and my healthcare provider didn't tell me when it was OK to have sex again. I looked it up on the NHS website and it said that you can have sex straight away if you feel comfortable doing so. But also, that you might want to wait until you have stopped bleeding. This went on roughly 2 1/2 for me. Honestly, I was not in the mood. But everybody is different. I didn't feel comfortable with my body and emotionally able to have sex again, cuddling up to my boyfriend was just what I needed. I just advise you to pay attention to how you feel and only do what you feel comfortable with.
Best of luck.
If everything is OK, I'd suggest to just take it easy a while and focus on your physical and emotional health. Eat well, sleep enough, watch some movies, drink some hot chocolate, etc. You should be fine in a while hopefully.
