Once again wanna thank you for sharing such a nice responce and hope this really let all the pro-life people realise what they have coz us and dun simply "mis-use" GOD's words to make other feel more bad. Just to share with u, I was strong christian when I was young, but once I was lost and that was at least 9-10years time that I havent come to GOD to pray or go to church. After this ab decisions, where both my husband and I was so hurt and guilty, we now again attend church service and pray together every nite. I thanks GOD for forgiving us and bring us back to church. It might be the most painful things in my life to get me turn back to GOD, but I knew, my future will be bright with GOD loves and blessing.

Hey ladies, just wanted to let you know that abortions can indeed cause fertility problems. My understanding is that abortions can cause damage to the uterine walls making it difficult for a fetus to attach. I'm proud of you ladies who are looking to keep your little ones this time around but it is very sad that you had an abortion first. Just remember that this is your opportunity. You can be the greatest moms ever. I am a Christian as well, but I think learning from your mistakes is one of the best things humans can do. God's blessings and love on you ladies! I hope you are all safe and healthy and that your little ones fill your lives with joy!

I had an abortion 9 weeks ago and really regret doing it. It seems so easy to do, its afterwards that the pain starts. So to all you people on here who regret doing it and are pregnant again then good on you! I know people are saying what about the baby that you could have had but you have got to follow your heart and if its what you want then so be it. I regret my abortion and now i want a baby so much. We all make mistakes. You can only learn from your mistakes and i feel it makes you want to care so much for the baby you are having now. Dont listen to other people cos its your life and your choice!

I just had my first baby 7 months ago and I think that I'm already pregnant again! The thing is, my baby has MANY medical problems that we're in the prosses of diagnosing. It's VERY possible that it's genetic and I don't want to take the chance of pa__sing it on to another child. Theres alot of pain seeing your baby go through so many tests at hospitals and have so many problems. We're stressed and worried...everything that we that have inside of us goes to our seven month old right now and I'm exausted...but don't get me wrong, I love my baby more than anything in the world and I'll keep going and going and going to give her everything that she needs, but I'm only 20 years old, my husband is 21 and we're just not ready to do this again and it wouldn't be fair to the next baby if it too has medical issues. My question for you is, CAN YOU HAVE AN ABORTION 7 MONTHS AFTER HAVING A BABY C-SECTION?

after an abortion you are at your most fertile... you can get pregnant straight away although they advise you not to have s_x for two weeks or to use tampons

of course you will be absolutely fine. Please dont worry unless you get an infection, which can even be treated then. mI had an abortion 2 years ago at under 5 weeks pregnant, I was lucky enough to be able to take the abortion tablet. I then underwent counselling for a year as I was so worried I would never conceive again. I got married 3 months ago and am now nearly 2 months pregnant, we conceived the first try! Unless you had a problem after the abortion, you have nothing to worry about. Even if problems do occur it doesn't mean you wont be able to get pregnant. The reason why a lot of women dont get pregnant after an abortion is that there bodies are under to much stress and anxiety to conceive, so my advice is relax and it will happen, it did for me and I have been in that situation....good luck to all thoses ladies ttc

I am so pleased to have found this forum. Lateley I have been feeling really alone, thinking that i am uniquely experiencing certain feelings. I have have recently had an Abortion (7 weeks) My doctor had prescribed Mifepristone. However the medication did not work effectively and i had to be taken to hospital as there were still contents in my womb which had become septic, so then i had to go for an EVAC. I had tried to be strong when making that hard decision, and still im putting on this "strong" mask, people who know about what i had done think im fine, and sometimes i think im fine too. But essentially i know that im not. It has been little over 2 weeks since i have come out of hospital, the physical pain has dissappeared but my heart is so sore. I cry (when alone) quite a bit, and all i want is to have another baby. I feel so angry with myself at times, thinking that i actually had the opportunity. But honestly i had learnt a lot through this ordeal, and now my mindset has changed. I want a baby, and even if i have to manage alone, i will. I have learnt that my throughout my whole life i have been living a life all about "me" - unfortunately i had only realised this once i had found myself laying in a hospital bed. I no longer want to live alone, and not have anyone to care about. I want to have a baby because i believe that i can truely add value to his/her life, as would he/she to mine. About a week and a bit after i had come out of hospital, my partner and i had unprotected s_x. i had done a pregnancy test the day after - showing positive. I called my GYNE explaining this to him, and he had said that it likely that it it is a new pregnancy. I am so happy, but also so nervous because its not for certain and i dont want to get my hopes up.
Abortion was the hardest decision i have ever had to make, and after reading through all the postings on this page, i just want to say that I respect every woman here. Thanks for standing together. I have found my new pillar of strenght.

I just wanted to say I had an abortion years ago - against my will and was so scared that I would not get pregnant - especially when I started trying at 31 years of age. It took my husband and I 8 mths. I was so scared that I went to a fertility doctor after 6mths. Just before we started any treatment - it happend! I'm now 4mths!

You can become pregnant very quickly after having an abortion. If you get on the pill or another hormonal birth control right after the procedure, you'll likely have a period around 2 weeks later. If you don't go on birth control, your period will likely come 4-6 weeks afterwards.
If you don't wish to become pregnant after an abortion then it would be wise to start birth control right away. Regardless of pregnancy risk, you shouldn't have s_x for 2 weeks after an abortion to prevent infection.
An abortion or repeated abortions should not affect your fertility unless there is some kind of complication or infection afterwards (which is why the precautions and the 2 week check up).

Sorry - typo. If you go on the pill right after an abortion you will have a period 3 weeks later - the week of the sugar pills, not 2 weeks.
