When can I start taking birth control after a non surgical abortion?
By
Question: I am having a non surgical abortion this upcoming friday. 1 pill to stop the development of the embryo on friday and 2 suppositories next weekend to expel the fetus.
I don’t want any pro-life posts. This isn’t a question of SHOULD I get the abortion, the decision has been made. This is a question of when I am able to start my birth control regiment again after the abortion.

The nurse will let you know, but you should start right away. Since you don’t want kids now consider a long term solution like Implanon or Mirena. You can’t screw up those birth controls and you’ll have years without accidental pregnancy.

I understand your not wanting judgement, no one here knows your circumstances & no one here walks a day in your shoes. I too have had the non-surgical abortion, although I consider it a mistake now, at the time it seemed the only option for a young, self absorbed little girl (not saying that is you!). Basically, once you stop bleeding and everything has expelled (you’re basically inducing a miscarriage, yes it’s gross but deal). So, roughly one week after the pills have been inserted. You should really start in a sunday, it’s the easiest to remember. But ask the nurses at the clinic, they’re very helpful. However, you can be really, really fertile after an abortion so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use any & all forms of birth control out there as to not have to do this again anytime soon…good luck hun & I hope for the best for you!

the doctor will tell you. if they don’t, then call up and ask. i would assume it would be safe to start birth control after your body has extracted all of the pregnancy tissues. be sure to go to the follow-up appointment afterwards to make sure.

I recommend Mirena. If you go to their website, click on patient information link and that will open a pdf page with all of the information you should need to determine if it is right for you. It is good for 5 yrs and some insurance companies will cover the entire cost. The procedure is quick and just a little bit of cramping for the first day but nothing serious. Also, there is virtually no medication.
