Abstract

After a spontaneous or induced abortion, people may desire to delay or prevent a future pregnancy and many desire to use contraceptive methods to do so. Contraception counseling and provision at the time of abortion care are important components to improve contraceptive access and convenience for people undergoing abortion care. The majority of hormonal and barrier contraceptive methods may be safely initiated at the time of medication or procedural abortion or shortly thereafter, although delayed initiation may be necessary in certain circumstances. A patient-centered approach to contraceptive counseling can identify patients' priorities and mitigate provider coercion or pressure.
