My clinic says 3 weeks which is when you
are supposed to go in for a follow-up.
However, I have heard that other clinics
suggest 2 weeks.

I am going to wait the entire 3 weeks
before using them just to be on the safe
side. I do not want to get an infection.
Luckily for me, I stopped bleeding rather
quickly. I hate using maxi-pads.

WE recommend that you wait ONE WEEK.
After any FIRST trimester abortion, your
cervix would be closed by 7 days.

once the cervix closes?

No.
That is how the bacteria gets inside of
you, through your cervix.
A LOT of clinics say wait 2-3-4 weeks to
have sex or put anything inside of the
vagina because they do not want you to get
pregnant again so soon.
