yes you can get pregnant after an abortion, unless there was damage to the uterus,etc. I know women who have had children after abortions- however I also know women who miscarry more, and some become infertile. So if you are asking this because now you want to be pregnant, I will pray for you to that end- however if you are asking this so you can have sex without protection you better use protection- the only way not to get pregnant is to abstain from sex. Even with birth control you can still get pregnant- and abortion is not a good thing to use as birth control- or for any other reason.

My mother had an abortion when she was a teenager and she went on to have two healthy children. Once a woman's body senses that the pregnancy has been terminated (miscarriage or abortion) then her body goes back to its regular hormonal cycles and ovulation. Now, sometimes abortions cause excess scar tissue or other uterine damage that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting and then prevents a woman from being able to become pregnant. As always, if you don't want to be pregnant, it's best to avoid getting pregnant to begin with by abstinence or safe sex. Abortions are pretty major medical procedures that can have bad complications and that's not taking into consideration the emotional toll on the woman and her partner and also the possible ethical/moral/religious issues.

Your body and hormones go back to normal after having an abortion. The only problem trying to get pregnant is the fact that since they have to scrape the fetus and the placenta out scar tissue can form on the uterus and in some rare cases can prevent some women from getting pregnant, specially if more than one abortion.

Yes you can get pregnant again. Abortions are not a form of birth control. I'm sure you've heard of irresponsible women have multiple abortions. Well, that's because they keep getting pregnant even after their first abortion! Unless the surgeon completely botches your surgery, abortions heal fairly quickly and leave your body physically in tact.

Yes, with no problems. An abortion should not interfere in any way with a woman's ability to get pregnant again (unless maybe you had some back-alley type of abortion procedure). Anyway, check with your OB/GYN and I am sure they he/she will assure you on your ability to conceive. And yes, you should go right back to your regular pattern of ovulation too. Please refer to the link below so that you can understand what happens after an abortion. Good luck!

Yes you can get pregnant after having an abortion unless the abortion caused some damage to the uterus.

Yes. My wife got pregnant. several years after having an abortion. For that matter, she got pregnant a couple of months after having miscarried. Our daughter is 9 now and adorable.
(Just remember, your mileage may vary).

i havent had one..but my friend had multiple ones and her doctor said if she has one more she isnt going to be able to have babies! it all depends on your body and how many you had! there are some cultures that use abortions as a form a birthcontrol to make them sterile! the more abortions you have the more likely you are not going to be able to have kids! good luck!
