Question
Hello doctor,
I had an abortion 2 weeks ago, but I am not using any contraception. After 10 days, I felt some bleeding and dull pain in my lower abdomen. So the doctor asked me after 2 weeks of abortion, I have unprotected sex, can I get pregnant? I have bleeding with dull pain in the lower abdomen, so is it pregnant again? I tested it and it showed two lines, but one line is not very clear. Please advise doctor, thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question "Can you get pregnant after 2 weeks of unprotected sex? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
For women who have an abortion, the ability to become pregnant can return immediately. The best time to have sex again after an abortion is 1 month. Because the time of abortion is considered the beginning of a menstrual cycle. Therefore, the next period will return in 4 to 8 weeks. This is just enough time for the body's endocrine activity to stabilize again. After this time, the lining of the uterus also regenerates and can ovulate to induce menstruation if the egg is not fertilized. If within 2 weeks after the abortion has had sex again without using contraception, it is extremely easy to get pregnant again because this is the period of ovulation (ovulation) in a woman. . So you can still get pregnant.
However, often after a curettage or miscarriage, pregnancy tests are still positive because the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin, found in fetal blood and urine) remains in your blood and urine. mother. When the fetus is out of the mother's body, hCG is not eliminated immediately but decreases slowly, about 4-6 weeks to return as in a non-pregnant person. Therefore, in a case like yours, a test on 1 clear line and 1 faint line can have 2 possibilities: Maybe you get pregnant again after an abortion due to unsafe sex or due to hormone levels due to high blood pressure. pregnancy has not returned negative. Therefore, you need to go to a reputable obstetrician-specialist medical facility for doctors to examine and advise.
If you still have questions about abortion, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
