You Are Not Alone

Do You Need Post-Abortion Care?

Are you recovering from a recent abortion procedure? If you think you might be experiencing unusual or abnormal symptoms from a recent abortion procedure, and have questions, LaVie healthcare professionals are equipped to provide you with answers. However, we recommend immediate medical attention if you are experiencing any of the following signs and symptoms:
  • Heavy bleeding – soaking two or more pads an hour for two consecutive hours
  • Severe abdominal or back pain
  • Fever lasting more than 24 hours
  • Foul-smelling vaginal discharge

Are you experiencing mixed emotions from a past abortion? Every woman’s experience following an abortion is unique. Some women may feel relief for a moment, some may feel a deep sense of loss, and others may feel nothing at all. Many women, no matter what they feel, find it helpful to talk about their abortion experience.

Even if you have never shared your abortion experience with anyone, you do not have to sort out your feelings on your own.

You are not alone and we are here to listen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Post-Abortion Questions

Did you know that 1 in 4 women will have an abortion by the time they are 45? Even if you have never shared your abortion experience with anyone, you do not have to sort out your feelings on your own.

After an abortion, you’ll need a follow-up visit with your provider to make sure you’re healing properly and to evaluate your uterine size, bleeding, and any signs of infection. To reduce the risk of infection, don’t put anything into your vagina for two weeks after the abortion.*

Having a follow-up visit with a provider is the best way to confirm the result of your abortion and ensure that you are healing properly.

Ovulation usually occurs as soon as two weeks after a medical abortion, and another pregnancy is possible even before your period begins.*
