The ovaries can resume ovulation about 2 weeks after abortion, and if no contraception is used, another pregnancy is possible after abortion before the first menstruation. A survey of women who had abortions in China showed that 30.7% of repeat abortions were within 6 months of each other! That’s why contraception after the procedure is important!!! The contraceptive effectiveness of the short-acting pill is so amazing that you may not believe it, but it really is more effective than condoms. When used correctly, it has a contraceptive effectiveness rate of over 99%. “So when do I start taking the pill after an abortion, when the doctor prescribes it?” Take it immediately, right away, the same day! The Medical Criteria for the Selection of Contraceptive Methods, written by the Department of Reproductive Health and Research of the World Health Organization, states that the short-acting pill can be taken immediately after an abortion without conditions. Immediate post-abortion initiation is defined as the day of the surgical abortion or the day of the medication abortion (the day misoprostol is given). Abortions, including painless abortions, involve termination of the pregnancy by curettage, which can thin the uterine wall and cause irreversible damage. However, some studies have found that some short-acting contraceptives taken after abortion may promote endometrial repair. This is explained in the Chinese Expert Consensus on the Clinical Use of Compounded Oral Contraceptives First, short-acting contraceptives have a reliable contraceptive effect, reducing unwanted pregnancies (intrauterine or ectopic pregnancies) and thus reducing complications due to abortion and the impact on fertility. Secondly, short-acting contraceptives also regulate menstruation and save women from diseases caused by menstrual disorders. Thirdly, short-acting pills also reduce the occurrence of pelvic infections, thus protecting the function of the fallopian tubes. In other words, the protection of fertility by short-acting contraceptives can be said to be all-encompassing, and there is absolutely no need to protect fertility by stopping the pill. Discontinuing the pill at will may instead increase the risk of unintended pregnancy. Because of its rapid metabolism, short-acting contraceptives do not accumulate in the body. The short-acting contraceptives currently on the market are excreted or cleared from the body within a short time after taking the pill. Do you girls remember how they are used? Yes, one pill per day. If you miss a dose, you will not be able to ensure the effectiveness of contraception. This is precisely because the pills are metabolized and excreted in the body so quickly that the contraceptive effect is affected after a day of discontinuation, and naturally the effect on the body and the fetus is negligible. Studies have proven that taking a combination oral contraceptive pill before or during pregnancy does not increase the risk of congenital malformations in the fetus, nor does it increase the risk of fetal death. There is also evidence that fertility can be restored by the first menstrual cycle after stopping the pill!
