Can I get on birth control on the day of my surgical abortion?

Yes! Your body does return to fertility immediately following a termination of pregnancy.  Many women ovulate even before their first period. All methods of birth control are safe to initiate right away.  You can start to use the shot, the pills, patch or ring on the day of your procedure. You may also choose to have an IUD or implant inserted during your procedure under anesthesia, which is safe and painless!​
