Took Misoprostol For Abortion. Periods Started. Had Unprotected Sex. Is There Any Possibility Of Pregnancy?
Question: i had a tablet for abortion (misoprostol)on 18th of july and got my periods on 19th morning.. on 22nd april - my periods was not over before tht i had unprotected sex and on 25th april my periods got over and had unprotected sex on 29th april. is there any possibility of pregnancy.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You had unprotected sex on 22nd April and 29th April. In July your pregnancy test was positive and you took misoprostol for medical termination of pregnancy.
Now that the bleeding is over, you need to get an ultrasound scan of lower abdomen done to find out if the abortion is complete or not.
Right now since you have aborted in this cycle, your chances of conception are low but cannot be ruled out completely. Having sex during bleeding does not completely protect you from pregnancy although the chances of conception are less than 2%. It is best to use a contraceptive like oral pills or condoms with spermicidal gel to avoid pregnancy for next at least 3-4 months.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Since you are having unprotected sex frequently, the possibility of pregnancy is there.
Even if you are bleeding, the chances of pregnancy cannot be ruled out completely.
Now you can take an emergency contraceptive like unwanted 72 to avoid pregnancy due to sex you had yesterday afternoon.
But the best thing would be to start taking a regular contraceptive like oral pills from the next cycle after ruling out any retained products in the uterus (by an ultrasound scan).
These emergency contraceptives and medical termination can cause hormonal imbalances causing irregular periods.
Hope my answer is helpful.

Hello.
Unprotected sex during periods carries very low chances of getting pregnant. It is not the fertile period. The highest chance of pregnancy is between day 9 to 16 in a regular 28 day cycle.
For an occasional unprotected intercourse, an emergency contraceptive pill like unwanted 72 is advisable after every such incidence but if you take it repeatedly, it can disturb your cycles and hormonal balance.
You should use a regular contraceptive like oral pills - XXXXXXX or ovral-l. Both are safe with minimal side effects.
Take care.
