Question : Is it possible to ovulate four days after an abortion procedure was done

Answered by Dr. Sree Gouri SR (2 hours later)

hi,
Thanks for the query.

usually during pregnancy the ovulation and menstruation all will be absent,
so after abortion, as during that the endometrial layer is scrapped off, it has to regrow for menstruation, the beta HCG levels should come down,
and for reestablishment of hormonal status and ovulation to occur usually it will take around 2 weeks (range from 8 to 36 days given in some studies),
and generally it is rare to ovulate on fourth day after abortion.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.

hi,

pregnancy is possible only when intercourse occurs around the time of ovulation only, so it is unlikely to get pregnancy on fourth post abortion day in absence of ovulation.
