I've had multiple abortions..more than 4. But they were all early abortions. most were when i was 3-4 weeks.

Question

Has anyones had that experience but were able to have successful births later on?

Answer 1

Honey- I hope your are dealing with all you have gone through. And I hope you are able to conceive again, because medically your putting yourself at risk of infertility. Can you be trusted with another "choice"? Please, please use condoms or birth control...

PS Fluffy is wrong- look it up. Both pro-life and pro-choice sides will admit it can be irreversibly damaging.

Answer 2

I dont know if you are going to get this post but I hope you do. Im a so sorry that you have been bashed by all of these people who obviously dont understand your situation. Ive had a few abortions myself and I dont consider myself a bad person or a future bad mother. I think keeping the baby in any of those situations would have been wrong. My first was because I was a freshman in college and it was a pure accident with a guy I had barely been dating. The second was with a guy I had just met and I had found out that my only parnet, my father, was dead that same week. The third was with my husband a year ago because we were beyond unfinancially or emotionally ready. I wanted to share this with you so you would feel that you arent the only one out there who has had to make this hard choice for the best a few times. To answer your question, the non-surgical procedures are the same as miscarrying. You'll be fine. I wish you the best.

Answer 3

I'm sure having them that early, they didn't use the forms that were too extremely traumatic to your body...so you probably haven't hurt your body physically.
But you should have done this before, but if you haven't you really should go to your local health department, most have family planning, where they will talk to you, and council you, tell you about ALL the methods of birth control they will give you a pamplet about each and every method from the patch to the pill to the shot to tubal sterilization, do a web search on birth control methods there are toooo many out there that are safe for your body to let abortion be your option everytime, respect your body and yourself enough not to put yourself in that predicument that many times... They will also do an annual exam and that will tell you what, if any, problems you might have that will conflict you in having children in the future.

Answer 4

You do mean abortion and not miscarriage do you? I don't know what damage that amount of abortions would cause if any, only time will tell I suppose, you can always ask your GP about it. You don't say why you had these abortions and I'm not just assuming it was due to lack of contraception, but if it was due to carelessness please be more careful in the future and don't get in that situation again . I'd hope you would never want to do this again, so don't risk it happening after all contraception is free and available to all. You should also be worried about sexually transmitted diseases, some of those can definitely stop you having a baby in future as they make you sterile. Be careful!

Answer 5

If the procedures were performed safely and without complications, there should be no problems at all.

But this needs to be confirmed in a medical exam by your doctor. As you know, that is all confidental. And a good doctor will not even blink when you tell her about the abortions you've had. The doctor's appointment might also be a good opportunity to discuss the type of birth control choices out there and which one would best suit you.
I'm only saying this because, at this moment, you might not yet be ready to have a child by choice. But when the times comes and you feel ready, you want to make sure that your body is prepared to go through a pregnancy.
An abortion is a medically invasive procedure and, if you want children in the future, you might want to give your body a rest.

There are many birth control options out there and they do not stress out your body the way an abortion does. And once you want to become pregnant, just stop your birth control. Obviously, you have no problem conceiving. And that is a very good thing! But you want to keep it that way. Make sure that you protect your fertility by not having any more unwanted pregnancies.

I think what I'm also trying to say is that, after you've had several procedures, you really need to take control of your body. And not just let things happen to you. This is your body after all. And it's your responsibility to take care of it. If you don't, no one else will. Take control and step back and find what is good for you and for your future.

So... when the time comes and you're ready to chose to have a child, you'll be prepared. Physically, mentally and psychologically.

Good luck! You'll be fine. But please take control.

PS: You mention 3-4 weeks. Is that a medical abortion or a spontaneous abortion, i.e. miscarriage? These are 2 different things. Because if it is spontaneous, then there's even more reasons to pay your doctor a visit. Also, keep in mind that 50 per cent (by some estimates even more!) early pregancies end in spontaneous abortions. Without the woman even knowing that she is pregnant. I'm saying this because of some of the comments you've received here - about abortions being presumably immoral, etc. Only God knows about those very early sponteneous abortions/ miscarriages. So does that mean that God himself has the power to induce abortions, keeping it a secret from the woman? And that is then moral and ethical? Hmmm...just thought I'll throw that thought out there!

Ignore those many silly remarks that you've been getting. Abortion is legal and you can make any choice you want! Just be safe.

Answer 6

All I can say is that I do agree to most of the above friends,but I feel you are young and beautiful and have no control over your emotions.Was the abortion natural or you got it removed by the doctor if so what I have mentioned is 100% correct. Generally there is an possibility of becoming incapable of having children if you have had abortions done by a doctor.It is not that easy to conceive after that many an abortions,you are lucky .Are you sure that you were 3 to 4 weeks pregnant all 4 times ,there is always a possibility for you to think that you were pregnant even if you have heavy and clotted bleeding. Any way my suggestion to you is that you do visit an gynecologist for a general checkup for the chemical analysis of blood to confirm the compatibility of that of your male counter part, If the chemical composition is acidic or alkaline and does not match with your male friend then you are in for trouble. Please do take care of your body & health as it is very valuable .God is very kind to you so do respect his actions.never play games with nature(becoming pregnant is no game ) May GOD bless you .

Answer 7

Wow, I have never seen so much hate come forth from so many answerers.

One answerer from a previous question I remember reading said her friend had 9 terminations. I'm not going to judge you - perhaps your method of contraception failed. Or were they miscarriages (spontaneous abortions)? If so, go and see your gynaecologist and see if everything's in working order.

If done safely, medical abortion does not cause infertility. Good luck.

And to all the anti abortionists - I hope you get reported!

Answer 8

An elective abortion is usually done by D&C; that's the scraping out of the contents of the utereus as well as the innermost layer of the uterine lining. Every menstrual cycle you get rid of the old lining and grow a new one. Some women who have miscarriages have to have D&C's to make sure everything get's cleared out so as not to develop an infection. Some women get periods that just wont stop, and their doctors usually will perform a D&C to get rid of all of the bleeding tissue so they can start over. So as long as it's done by a good surgeon, it's generally considered a safe procedure, and should not prevent future pregnancies. However, repeated D&C's can cause scar tissue which can 1-make it harder for implantation to occur in pregnancy, or 2-make it harder for your uterus to carry a pregnancy to term. Women are all different. I've known many patients who have had more D&C's than you have, for whatever reason, and were still able to get pregnant and have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. Be careful. Use the brain God gave you. Make sure you know what you want. And good luck.

Answer 9

I'm going to pipe in here hoping to sound like the voice of reason and not judgement.
Abortions cause a lot of scar tissue. It may difficult to conceive when you are ready to have a child. I've met women that have had one abortion and were unable to have a baby later in life. There's just no way to tell, I suppose, until you try.

If you have had more than 4 abortions, I am concerned as to why? Do you know how to prevent pregnancy? Are you unable to receive education on birth control or in a situation where you cannot get birth control? If you need help with these topics please feel free to contact me. I will not judge you or snap at you.
Woman to woman,
D

Answer 10

do you know how many infertile couples who would love to take care of a newborn but have to wait for a long time to adopt? it's ppl like you who are self centered and thoughtless. ever hear of STDS or AIDS????

i use to work in the ob/gyn dept. & have seen so many women who had abortions & not being able to have children later on in life. And then they wonder why. when you play...you pay. take responsibilities for your actions.

Answer 11

I really dont want to be judgemental but I cant beleive this.....I read your psot in the morning and I was trying to think up of reasons the whole day as t why you would get yourself pregnant over so many times and then abort......considering all the options I just came to this conclusion... either you do want to ahve a baby but every single time you found out that the pregnancy was not normal and you were adviced to abort (medical reasson) or the other option being you are just a dumb ***.... I hope to god that it is the first option...if it is not... I am sorry dont expect any sweet answers from people....do you know how many women are there in this worlf who cant have babies and are desperately trying.... they would give up anything to ahve a child in there arms...and then there are people like you.... this world is twisted.... I am sorry if my second option is the case.....I dont think you deserve to ahve kids ever again
