Pregnancy After Abortion: Understanding Fertility Chances

Question
Hi, I have one question involving my abortion I had almost 6 years ago. When I was 17 weeks pregnant I underwent a abortion surgery using a vacuum,professionally and that was my first pregnant so I was wondering what are the chances i can become pregnant again.?

Answer
Hi Angela,

Thanks for your question. There has been some research that shows that a possible side effect of abortion can be sterility or being hard to get pregnant. I can't tell you the chances because women have been able to get pregnant after abortion and some cannot. You will not be able to find out unless you just try for pregnancy. Are you having any emotional, mental, or psychological effects after abortion? If so or if you just want to talk, my email address is DCHERYL51@yahoo.com When you email me, please put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line.
I offer free post abortion healing counseling.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
