Question

about 5months ago i had terminated my pregnancy, it wasent the right time n now me qand my fiance want to have a baby! n we have been trying for only 3months.. but nothing, and it has been on the right ovulation days! can this abortion affect my ability to have kids? how can i become pregnant again?

Answer 1

My first daughter I got pregnant while on birth control on my week off - 2nd time got pregnant 6 weeks after stopping birth control, now we have been trying for over 3 months and no luck. Sometimes stress can make it hard to conceive, sometimes it just takes awhile - don't count your ovulation days, just try often - your fiancee will not complain! When your body is ready and the time is right you will be able to have a baby (although sometimes you can't after abortion - don't get stressed about that - just believe it can happen!). Good luck - and don't let people tell you that abortion is wrong - it was your choice. I chose adoption and it is the most painful thing I have ever gone through - 7 years later and still every day I wake up regretting the decision I was forced into - it is very hard emotionally and I struggle every day - (have been on more anti-depressants and mood suppressants than I can count) and I still see her.

I agree with Curious J these other people should NOT be talking down to you. You are still a human being and it is true we all make mistakes. things happen for a reason and when the time is right and your body mentally emotionally and physically are ready to have a full term pregnancy then it will happen. I do believe in some of the other comments though, you should ask for forgiveness even if you are not a religious person because God is the only one with the power to be able to make you pregnant again and he will know when your body has healed enough to handle a pregnancy to full term
When.if you do fall pregnant again grasp it by the horns and go full circle with it, hold on to it as if it were your own life and cherish it and nurture it love it with all you have to offer and NEVER be afraid to ask for help even if you don't know the person - ever heard of the saying "the kindness of strangers"

Answer 3

There are many complications from abortion, infertility being the most devastating, other contributing factors are cancer and STDs such as genital wart viruses treated with cryotherapy. Long-term physical complications from abortions may surface later. For example, overzealous currettage can damage the lining of the uterus and lead to permanent sterility. Overall, women who have abortions face an increased risk of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy and a more than doubled risk of future sterility. Perhaps most important of all, the risk of these sorts of complications, along with risks of future miscarriage, increase with subsequent abortions.

Pregnancy can occur any time after an abortion. Birth control is necessary if you do not wish to become pregnant. If you are starting birth control pills, you should use a back-up method (condoms, spermicides, abstinence) with the first cycle of pills.

You can ovulate as soon as two weeks after an abortion, which means yes, you could get pregnant again within two weeks after an abortion!

After the 2-4 weeks is over, you should NOT have sex again unless you feel physically recovered, and have discussed with your partner what you want to do if an unplanned pregnancy occurs again. Do NOT let yourself be pressured into having sex again before you are physically and emotionally ready, and have had a serious discussion about the course of action for future unplanned pregnancies. You can get pregnant as soon as two weeks after an abortion! Your body normally will go back to it's regular cycle, and release an egg (ovulation) at 2 weeks post-ab. So once you decide you are ready to resume sexual intercourse again, make sure you are using birth control right away. As many of us know, birth control is NOT 100% effective. So it's very important that you don't have sex again until you are healed physically and emotionally, and you have a clear consensus on what will happen if you become unexpectedly pregnant again.

For women who had an abortion for maternal health reasons, or for a poor prenatal diagnosis, consult your doctor about birth control and future pregnancies.

Answer 4

The abortion can cause you to not be able to have any babies. When you went in for the procedure they should have told you that. So what made you decide to terminate that pregnancy and only 5 months later you want to have a baby? Sounds selfish to me. But thats not my business. On a serious note you should not try so hard. It will happen when it happens and if the problem persists see a doctor on the matter.

Answer 5

I don't think that your past abortion is affecting your chances of getting pregnant. Three months is really not a long time to try. I would try not to stress out about it too much, that is definitely a contributing factor. When my husband and I wanted to get pregnant for the first time it took us about 3 months after going off the pill to get pregnant. We just had sex whenever the mood hit and didn't worry about ovulation times. Lot less stress and a lot more fun. Good luck!

Answer 6

hello there -
yes your abortion can affect your ability to have children in the future, unfortunately those risks aren't shared with you by the abortion clinics because they don't share the full truth about the risks of having an abortion.
Abortions are most definitely linked to fertility problems as well as breast cancer - unfortunately you can't bring that baby back now but if you just terminated your pregnancy I really don't think it's a wise idea to become pregnant again so quickly. What makes you ready in a couple of months... these are lives you're talking about please don't take this lightly.

Answer 7

First off all these people shouldn't be talking down on you like that!! "Let those without sin cast the first stone" Okay you made a mistake but who hasn't? I don't believe in abortions either but nobody but GOD can judge you.How dare these people try to make you feel more guilty than you already feel. Its abvious that you regret it but I personally feel that you should wait until after you get married. Plus you might not be completely healed from the abortion a few months ago. The time from now until you get married might be enough time for you to heal properly. In the mean time you may need to go to the doctor just to be checked out to make sure that everything is ok. You have to take care of yourself before you can think about taking care of a child.

Answer 8

wow. You had an abortion and now u want to have a baby ONLY 5 months, now u are ready. That makes no sense at all. You shouldn't have any children obviously you cannt make up your mind, maybe you should wait a little longer. I am not trying to be mean but it was only 5 months agao, maybe you should make sure this is what you really want.

Answer 9

some abortions if not done right can scar your uterus. causing you not to get pregnant or if you do to have a miscarriage. why would you have an abortion and then two mths later decide oh wait we want a baby now. that makes no sense at all. You two need to get married first, have a house, and be financially and emotionally stable to have children before you start trying again. good luck.

Answer 10

sounds like you regret the abortion otherwise why try so soon after whats the difference in 2 months?abortion should not affect your chances but if you feel guilty then stress and pressure to get pregnant may cause problems
stop trying you may find if you stop putting all the pressure on it then it will happen for you
good luck
