Yes, but it's probably too soon. Slow yourself down. You made that choice for a reason. Having another baby now doesn't change the decision you already made.
Give yourself time. Are you married? Have you been married several years? Do you have a job, car, house?
If not, get off you butt, get into college and put this kid business out of your head.
You have to worry about YOUR life right now, you do not have TIME or the maturity to take on another.
Jeez, give yourself a break, would you. Baby "B" doesn't replace baby "A".
Fix yourself!

I'm sorry for what you are going through, but you are the only person who can make the right decision for you. I had an abortion at 15, was forced into it by my parents. Then got pregnant again less than a year later. I had that child, she's now 14, and is the total joy and happiness in my life. However, there is not a single day that has gone by that I do not think of and grieve the loss of my first child. There will always be an empty space in your heart, It just gets easier to handle as time goes on.
Try talking to a psychologist if you can, or contact the clinic where you had the abortion. Most clinics offer some sort of post termination counseling. You can email me from my q&a page if you would like someone to talk to.
Here is a website that I have found to be very helpfull as well.
http://afterabortion.com/
It is filled with very supportive people, facts, and information.
Good luck to you!

Will the abortion make me sterile?
No. An abortion should not affect your fertility and you can become pregnant
again after two weeks.
Can a woman still be pregnant after having an abortion?
Yes, however we prevent this possible complication by examining the pregnancy tissue immediately after the procedure. This exam confirms that the patient is no longer pregnant. The tissue is also sent to a pathologist for a final report.

yes its possible, I think that you may want to wait though and take some time to grieve because this may be the reason you want to get pregnant. If you regret your decision you should definitely give yourself some time to grieve over your lost baby before trying to get pregnant again, Not saying that I am against this in anyway, in some ways it would be good for your heart. But you should heal emotionally before trying to concieve it would be in the best interests of the next baby and for you and your heart. I can understand why your heart would break over this, but a new baby will not replace the one you lost... If you do want to go ahead and try to concieve wait atleast three months because you need to give your body time to heal from the abortion, If you try to concieve now then you may have a miscarriage as this would be considered a high risk pregnancy... Same thing happens pretty much when you miscarry, you are required to wait atleast three to six months before trying again. My heart goes out to you and Im very sorry for your loss and for the heartbreak this has caused you but medically it wouldnt be wise to start right away. Wait the three to six months allow your body and heart to heal and then try again. I know that you will most likely be one of the most loving mothers because you realized you made a mistake and I know that this child will be loved and wanted very much... and that you will try to make up for what happened by being a great mother to your next child... Until then please take care of yourself...

Possible yes, smart no. you can not have a baby to sooth your concience it is not fair to the baby. You need to get yourself together emotionally before you start trying to bring a new life into the world. Plus, if you just had an abortion you must have felt that you were not ready yet, what in your life has changed so drastically that now all of a sudden you can be a good parent??? You need counseling, if you can not afford it you should call some community agencies so that you have someone to talk to.

Biologically, you can get pregnant. My advice is to wait. Guilt and regret is no reason to have a baby. Give yourself to stop and think about why you really want a baby. Your baby will be there for the rest of your life. Do you want your baby to be a symbol of love or guilt?
Plus, you must have thought long and hard about the abortion before you did it. You made that decision for that reason, possibly because you thought you weren't ready. What has changed in the past month to make you think that now you are ready to have a child?

Yes, but it's probably not a good idea. Ask yourself why you got the abortion in the first place - bad father? you're too young? Your parents or partner made you do it? Whatever the reason it must have been enough to make you decide to terminate your pregnancy... you shouldn't get pregnant again until you're absolutely sure it's what you want and that you're ready for it. And ignore all the busybodies who say you're going to burn in H.e.l.l. for having an abortion, that's nonsense. Just make sure you're ready this time and if not, get yourself on the pill or fitted for an IUD.
God bless, it takes a lot of courage to do what you did and I salute you.

If you just had an abortion and you regret it , you might want to stop trying to get pregnant till you take some time and figure out why you did something you regret. You not ought to be getting pregnant till you find the right person to spend the rest of your life. Kids need two loving parents not one.

well there are ovualtion kits you can try im doing them now and they are great !!! you buy them at the drug store or any shop that sells pregnancy stuff... you buy an ovulation kit for 5 days it comes with 5 peeing cups and 5 tests you do one test a day for 5 days at the same time every day.... it sort of looks like a pregnancy test but for ovualtion.... it comes up positive when you are at your highest and that means you are going to ovulate in 24 - 36 hours so you have sex on the day you get a positive and the day after....its worked for alot of women thats just an easier thing to try so that when you know you are most fertile you can plan a romantic evening and just enjoy the night instead of worrying the WHOLE month about making sure that you and your husband had sex on certain days

Ok, so i read 2 of your other questions and it seems like your boyfriend is an asshole. This is the same guy that got you pregnant, wants a threesome and cheated on you?? Maybe abortion is crossing the line! I say you should dump this guy. He cheated on you, wants to **** another girl again with you there and knocked you up and can't even step up to the plate to say I want this child. Don't try to get pregnant again because of guilt! Think of this, your child grows up and you tell him/her you were conceived outta guilt because of my decision to terminate your brother/sister!
