Every abortion has the potential to leave you infertile or sterile, and each abortion further increases the risk. At your age, you are particularly vulnerable to these risks because your cervix is still "green" or developing. When your cervix is forcibly dilated during an abortion, tearing and damage often results. Also, your other reproductive organs can be scarred and damaged. You have to understand that abortion is known as a "blind procedure." The abortionist cannot see what he is doing when he inserts sharp instruments into your womb, and this is why damage can so easily occur. For more information on these risks, see:

If you are pregnant, please protect both yourself and your baby and don't abort. If your cervix has been damaged by previous abortions, your doctor will be able to see this and can take the necessary steps to protect your baby.

Yes, it's sad to say but abortion will make it harder to have a child later on in life. It is very sad for me to hear that you are 16 and are now on your third abortion. If you stand back and look at your life, think about how you might feel about all this in about ten years. I am twenty one, and in no way shape of form could I imagine having three abortions by the time I was sixteen. It would be hard enough knowing that I killed my baby the first time, let alone a second and third time. My sister was raped at a young age, and she did wind up getting pregnant. She opted for abortion, and had a VERY hard time conceiving my now eleven year old niece five years after the abortion. The doctors told her that the surgery had inflicted wounds on her uterus, and there was a VERY slim chance that she would ever get prego. When she finally did get pregnant she had a very hard pregnancy, and the baby had a very hard time developing. I hope you decide to do the right thing. Maybe an investment in birth control, or abstaining until your much older might help your situation. I hate to say it, and I know you don't want to hear it, but the babies life became your responsibility once you had sex... it a consequence you must be able to handle if you are practicing sex. Please consider that you are taking away another babies life, and what that might do to you one day when you do have a child of your own and you look deep in their eyes, knowing that this small fragile thing that lay in your arms, you killed three times over. Trust me, to this day, even though my sister was raped, after she had her first baby, she has regretted the abortion ever since.

First of all i cant believe you've already had 2 abortions and then thinking about having another!? Abortions are Murder!! And whoever says that unless the baby is fully born its not murder is full of crap!! Thats taking the life away from an innocent child! and why dont you stop having sex if you dont want the child!? I mean wtf its not that hard just keep your legs closed your only 16 anyway. You have your whole life ahead of you. The least you can do is give the baby up for adoption and not have it killed...
I really hope you realize how wrong abortions are and the mistakes you have made

Look all I can tell you without really sounding like Im telling you what to do it. Everytime you have an abortion youre putting your health at risk. You really need to talk to someone because you will more than likely regreat that you had an abortion 3 times later in life when you fully understand it. BTW where in the world are you getting all that money from at 16 because abortions are not cheap. Think about every child that you abort could have been someone else's child. How about putting the bab up for adoption rather than aborting the baby. Trust me there are a lot of people out there that would love to have a little baby and people out there that can't have kids and your going off and aborting yours think before you act.

Hi...I cant tell you that you definitly wont be able to conceive again, but it will make it very difficult for you to have a baby in te future if you do have another abortion. I think you should consider adoption for this baby....Yes it means carrying it to term, but it also keeps you from putting your body through more trauma due to another abortion. So many people out there want to have a baby but cant, including myself. This baby could go to one of those families...and I cant even begin to tell you what a gift that would be. There are services out there to help you with medical care, housing, living costs, and help with the adoption process. All you have to do is reach out. I am begging you to consider what I'm saying. Please, if you don't find your answer here and you need more advice....email me or message me on yahoo (angelic_monster04) I will find the answers to whatever questions you have. Or even if you just need someone to talk to. I know what being 16 and in a rough place is like. Granted, I haven't been in exactly the same situation, but I know girls that have. Please let someone help you sweetie....

have you not learnt to use birth control yet. Maybe you could be forgiven for the first time but not for the 3rd because you should've learnt your lesson by then. Abortions are not forms of birth control and shouldn't be used as such. I am sorry but I think its disgracefull.
You have come here for help and advice but with any abortion there is always a risk of not being able to conceive again. Maybe you should consider adopting the baby out or if you are not pregnant and just asking maybe you should not have sex until you use protection

There is not an increased chance of birth defects on later pregnancies, but if not done properly or not taken care of properly by the mother, there is an increased risk in not being able to carry children. My mom had 6 DandC's (same procedure as an abortion) due to tumors in her uterus before she had all 3 of her kids and none of us are deformed and she never had trouble TTC. As for all the other crap you put ... yeah, didn't even bother reading it. And whoever said that there is a link between abortions and breast cancer, that's like saying there is an increased risk for women whove had natural abortions (miscarriages) to have breast cancer, which I've never once heard of either.

You should not be having sex in the first place. You are young and cannot handle children{abortions}. See a doctor about birth control. You are still developing your whole body and this could cause damage enough to where you cannot have children when you get older. Change the people you are running around with because they are lethal to you. People need to like you for yourself and not how much you put out to them. Learn to say "No" and you'll be a healthier and stronger person for it.

If you've had your first you shouldn't have let it reach your third!! You will if you're lucky but abortion is dangerous and sometimes luck just turns it's back on you-- permanently. Use birth control if you can't control the urges. A lot of parents out there want to have children but they can't concieve and spend thousands just to get pregnant, sometimes even unsuccessful. Abortion wasn't banned in many countries for nothing. Think about it.

Yes it could be dangerous at such a young age...I became pregnant when I was 24 and "CHOSE" to keep my daughter I had an abortion 11 months later(same dad but he had left me...again)I am having a hard time getting pregnant because of the scarring that was left...I regret that "CHOICE" I made and would never wish it upon anyone.....have you ever thought about giving her up for adoption....8 more quick months...and you dont have to live with the consequences....if I could turn back time I would....I have a beautiful daughter..she's 11 and best that has ever happened to me...the laughter she gives me the hugs when no one else is around...and the simple kiss on her forehead when you tuck her in at night is the greatest gift ever.....Please reconsider and do what i did ...the first time...beat the odds and I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT...I DID it was hard but so worth it dont worry what others think...remember that hug she gives you...If you ever want to talk...I am here..You are not a bad person and dont ever let anyone make you feel any different....but please have more respect for yourself...you know your a good person your being given this 3rd chance....for a reason.. reconsider please
