Continue reading to get the facts on pregnancy after abortion. 

What to Know

The ovaries can release an egg as soon as eight days after a medical abortion, meaning another pregnancy can occur not long after the procedure. Pregnancy after a surgical abortion is also possible, though your period can be early or late as the uterus builds a new lining. 

Though it’s important to consider this information, you should also know that abortion-related complications can impact fertility. 

For example, a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure runs the risk of scar tissue forming on the uterine wall. This is known as Asherman’s syndrome, and it can result in future miscarriages and infertility. 

If you’ve recently had an abortion, it’s critical to take a moment and consider future decisions. Having an abortion is a significant event in your life, and taking care of your health is crucial. We can help you process the experience and develop a roadmap for making choices that safeguard your health.
