When to have sex after abortion?
I had a medical abortion of 7 week fetus done 12 days ago... I still have very light bleeding or spotting which keeps happening on and off... So when will it be safe to have sex again? It's been almost 2 weeks, but since my bleeding has not stopped completely, so I am kind of worried about getting an infection, can you please help?

You are right. You are prone to infection as long as the bleeding continues.
Please get a sonography of the lower abdomen done. Further management will depend on the report of sonography.
