When should you start preventing pregnancy after termination?
After terminating a pregnancy, the body can return to ovulating very quickly. Some people may start ovulating within 2 weeks and can become pregnant again immediately if no prevention is used. Therefore, “starting contraception immediately after termination”
Methods of contraception after pregnancy termination
- Implant: Long-term prevention for 3-5 years, can start immediately after termination
- IUD: Prevents for 5-10 years, can start 4 weeks after termination (if no inflammation/infection)
- Injection: Inject every 1-3 months, can start immediately after termination
- Monthly pills: Must be taken at the same time every day, can start immediately after termination
- Condoms: Prevent both pregnancy and STIs if used correctly, can be used immediately
Summary
Do not wait for the next menstrual cycle because the body may be ready to conceive before you realize it. Starting contraception immediately after termination is the best way to take care of yourself.
