instruction: hi doctor I was three months pregnant and recently had a medical abortion I had unprotected intercourse four days before the abortion I was given 200 mug of mifepristone and two days later misoprostol which expelled the pregnancy the intercourse occurred six days before the misoprostol I am worried that this may start a new pregnancy after the abortion was completed as sperm can live up to seven days and if I ovulate immediately after abortion the sperm could be alive to start a new pregnancy please can you help me and give me an explanation of the following can 200 mug of mifepristone be effective at preventing pregnancy if taken four days 96 hours after unprotected sex I have found information on the internet which says in some countries that mifepristone is used as an effective emergency contraceptive however they say small doses of up to 50 mug please tell me whether 200 mug would be most effective
output: hi welcome to icliniq com there seems to be confusion about the dose of mifepristone which you know about usually three 200 my tablets 600 my total orally administered mifepristone as a single one time dose and two days later misoprostol is given your idea about 200 mug mifepristone is therefore incorrect regarding ovulating immediately after medical abortion is not possible this is because the hormones in your body are still abnormal and ovulation will not occur in this situation I guess you have been given 200 my of mifepristone and there is no risk of pregnancy from sexual intercourse four days after the abortion the uterus is not ready to have another pregnancy right now so there is no risk to you
