Abortion in Pretoria, Private, Safe Abortion Procedures at Our Abortion Center in Pretoria

Your period should come within 6-8 weeks.

This varies from patient to patient. Spotting or bleeding may be continuous or start and stop several times over a 3 week period. After a medical abortion, the patient may experience heavier bleeding for 2-3 weeks after taking the pills.

The check up visit is very important because this will confirm that the abortion was successful and complete. When you return for a 2 week follow up visit an ultrasound will be performed to confirm.

Yes, definitely. Routine abortion does not cause infertility. You can get pregnant within a few weeks after an abortion, so it is important to practice prevention right away. Ovulation can occur at any time, even when you are bleeding.

Most patients can resume normal activities the next day. If your schedule involves heavy lifting or strenuous activity, we will provide you with a work or school excuse letter stating that you must avoid certain activities.

Bleeding after a surgical abortion shouldn’t be longer than a month. After one month of bleeding you should get an evaluation from your doctor.

After an abortion, the pregnancy test can remain positive for over a month. If you think that it is possible that you got pregnant, please call our office. We can have you come in for an appointment where a blood draw will be done to confirm it is a new pregnancy.

In most cases the abortion can be performed as early as the EPT pregnancy test shows positive results or at approximately 5 to 6 weeks. Make an appointment with us if your period is two weeks late.

Our medical staff will perform an ultrasound to determine the length of gestation.

The contents of the uterus are examined by our trained staff and then sent to a pathology laboratory for analysis. The results of the analysis are sent to the doctor within 5 days of the procedure. A post-op sonogram will be performed if necessary. You are also advised to return to the clinic two to three weeks after surgery for a postoperative evaluation.
