There are different ways to prevent pregnancy after an abortion, and the best choice is the one that fits your needs and lifestyle. It's best to find a contraception method you feel comfortable with; there are so many options, including condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, and implants, etc. Whether you're looking for something long-term, hormonal, or non-hormonal, there’s a variety of options available.
If you’d like to explore your options, check out www.findmymethod.org – it’s a great resource to compare methods and find what feels right.
Also, remember, it’s safe to have sex again when you feel physically and emotionally ready after an abortion. But keep in mind, you can get pregnant as soon as 2 weeks after an abortion, even if you’re still bleeding. Your menstrual cycle might change a bit too, so getting to know your cycle is important.
