Can Having Sex Within A Week Post Abortion Cause Pregnancy?
Last month on June 16th, I had a spontaneous abortion. I was instructed not to have sex for three weeks, however I did have the following week. My cycle was due on the 15th of this month. Could I be pregnant again or is there a delay because of the miscarriage?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Likelihood of pregnancy is very less after having sex one week after abortion.
You were instructured not have sex for 3 weeks as the materials inside might not have had expelled completely and by 3 weeks, you would get your next periods.
However, delay in periods could be more likely because of abortion. Kindly wait till your periods regularize.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
