When did you feel ready to have sex after abortion?

Question

I’m still processing and dealing with my emotions/hormones being out of wack. 
When I think about having sex with my SO I get anxious and worried..what if it happens again, what if my new IUD fails like the last one did?
When did you feel comfortable having sex after an abortion? My SO has not brought it up, or tried to insinuate anything.
I just want to feel normal again. I feel weirdly betrayed but I don’t know why.

Answer

Sounds Ione pretty reasonable feelings to me. I started having sex again 4 months after my abortion. My most messy emotions were in the first 3 months, but my now-ex and I were long distance at the time. So I didn’t see him again until 4 months.

Answer

I had the same feelings after. I waited 9.5 months after mine. It took 20+ counseling sessions and my gyno prescribed me a low dose anti-depressant to try another avenue to help bring intimacy back.

Answer

We’ve tried a few times but at the beginning both of us kept thinking “what if” despite being on birth control (not that it helped the first time) and now 14months later, my gyno thinks the pain and soreness i feel when we try is emotional. Deep down im not ready and my body knows it. Take your time, your SO should understand and give you the space and time you need to heal.. no matter how long that takes
