Fertility After Medical Abortion: What You Need to Know

Question
I recently had a medical abortion March 07' and have had normal periods since then. Although, my husband and I are trying to get pregnant now and we have been trying for 5 months and nothing is happening. Could this be related to the medical abortion?

Answer
Hi Kimberly,

I just found your question in the question pool so I don't think you have had an answer to your question yet. There is some controversy as to whether abortion can affect future fertility. Personally, I am of the opinion that it can but I don't know the exact statistics about this. Please send me an update on your situation and you can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com to talk more. Have you consulted a physician about this?

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
