How common is it to have unprotected sex the day and the following days of an abortion with being on the Depo like a week later? P.s this question is not for me. I just some answers for a family member
Also if the person got pregnant after the abortion when should they test to get an accurate answer? And if that person was on the depo shot how will that effect the baby? No rude comments
Just opinions or facts. Also please don't judge my family
Thank you(:

How fertile are you after an abortion? If you got pregnant would the depo shot kill your babies or cause you to miscarry? If you had sex right after an abortion multiple times unprotected then how likely are you to get pregnant?

How common is it to have unprotected sex the day and the following days of an abortion with being on the Depo like a week later? - Uncommon and not advised, because she can get infected.
Also if the person got pregnant after the abortion when should they test to get an accurate answer? - 2 weeks after the next period would have been due.
How fertile are you after an abortion? - Fertile as you ever were.
If you had sex right after an abortion multiple times unprotected then how likely are you to get pregnant? - As likely as ever. There's no way to predict, in any conditions.

I don't know a lot about Depo. Yes, it can cause miscarriage. It's not a drug I would ever take. She should go on the pill.

Abortion is not a form of birth control. What you describe is uncommon basically because most reasonable and responsible people who don't want to get pregnant protect themselves against pregnancy, not play russian roulette with semen.

How common is it to have unprotected sex the day and the following days of an abortion
It is not common as the woman is told to abstain from sex for 4-6 weeks following the abortion so as not to introduce infection-causing bacteria into the vagina, cervix and uterus.


Also if the person got pregnant after the abortion when should they test to get an accurate answer?
Two weeks after the expected period is late.


And if that person was on the depo shot how will that effect the baby?
As long as she does not take another depo shot it will not affect the baby.


How fertile are you after an abortion?
It depends when you ovulate.


If you got pregnant would the depo shot kill your babies or cause you to miscarry?
No.


If you had sex right after an abortion multiple times unprotected then how likely are you to get pregnant?
Again, it depends on whether you were ovulation. You are more likely to get a pelvic inflammatory infection having sex too soon after an abortion.

I will agree. It is not common at all and very dangerous
