Post-Abortion Fertility: What You Need to Know

Question
I'm 15 years old and I just had a suction aspiration abortion March 9th, 2007. I was 10 weeks and 6 days along. There were no complications and I think I've recovered well, I was wondering could I still get pregnant even though I've had an abortion. It was my first one and I deffenitly will not have anymore, i was just wondering whats the percentage of women that become infertile after abortion? I'm concerned cuz I wanna have kids in the future

Answer
Hi Stephanie..
I just found a statistic that said that Increased risk of infertility after abortion is 2% to 5%. Actually what it says is 2% to 5% of abortions result in sterility. Then I found an article that says the rate of miscarriages after abortions is 35% higher than the normal rate.
Hope this helps but try not to get yourself stressed out about this. I would love to hear from you by email at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
