Abortion?


Question Posted Wednesday August 4 2004, 9:33 am

It doesn't seem like we have touched on this subject much. I know how contravercial it is...so please dont pass judgement on me. I want advice not a lecture. 2 years ago on Aug 8th I has an abortion. I was 7 weeks Pregnate. I strugle every day with the descion i made. This time of year is the worst though. I had no support from anyone who knew including the scumbag who I had sex with. I mad a rash descion. And to this day I know it was the wrong one. It was increadably selfish. I had more options but I took the easy way out. I should have taken responsibilty for my actions and I didn't. With all that said, my quetion is...what are my chances of being able to conceive a child again. Are they less...or does it make it more difficult becuase of the abortion. Please let me know any info or websites you may know of that can help me. Thanks for your help ! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

If the procedure was done properly, there should be no problems. I would advise you to go to your GYN to make sure everything has been expelled and your system is clear. Also, you made a decision and no one has to live with it but you. Stop beating yourself up over this. You cannot undo what has been done but you can move on and make a decision not to do it again (if that is what you want). Believe me, my sister had the same reservations when she did it over 20 years ago. She got past it and never did it again. No one should blame you for making a decision you had every right to make.

it all depends on how the abortion was done. if you went to one of the non doctor clinics then it could have ruined ur uderus. but it will more than likely be harder to concive. but you can't go bak and change the past.

Always rememebr that your child is with God. Your chances of having another child are just as great. Check for local support groups by using a search engine like "askjeeves" or mamma.com Use key words like "abortion" "Support" "Groups". There are so many people who have made the same decision as you. Just remember that God is by your side.

At least you're sorry and you've owned up to your mistake. But no,having an abortion doesn't effect future births. I'm sorry that you felt you had no one to turn to and that you feel bad about this.

I understand completly.....Im 17 I got pregnant when i was 15 and I had an abortion. I wrote my story and it was published in a book....I would go ahead and tell u but this isnt about me if u want to know more just drop one in my inbox. I honestly don't think that you would lose any chances of getting pregnant again. It's very hard to go through something like that and I hope that you have someone to support you and help you out now. I go to counsiling every week for this and it helps out a whole lot. I am not sure about any web sites but you could try yahoo search and type in abortion information and that may help. If ya need anything else u know where to find me. Hope I helped!

my sister had an abortion 3 years ago, so i'm not one to judge anyone else if mhy own sister did it. I dont think your chances are less likely to concieve a child again. If you wanted to, you could have a child, but it might be just a tad harder now.Good Luck and God Bless You.

Well, this is probalby only something your doctor could answer. Some people can undergo those procedures with little to no complications, whereas others have more difficult times. Only your doctor will know if your ability to carry a child has been damaged.

AllyKnows answered Wednesday August 4 2004, 10:55 am:
I'm 14 and you are going to think i'm just a child but i am a psycho 14 year old that reads up on things like these and i know that it's no harder to conceive a child after you've had an abortion. I know 3 people that have had them and they had kids after that and they also regret doing it in the first place. So my final answer is you'll be able to get pregnant again. if you have anymore questions since i'm 14 i probably don't know much so you need to ask your doctor. good luck!

SammyPie answered Wednesday August 4 2004, 10:16 am:
Your chances are still very high that you can conceive again, UNLESS you got your abortion done by someone who wasn't a professional. I personally believe its a woman's own decision on what they do with their body, as long as abortions isn't their form of birth control. If you had done this more than once, then maybe my opinion would be otherwise. But at the time, you made the right decision (as least thats what I feel.) You made the decision that fit you best. Unfortunately, you are feeling the emotional side-effects, but think about it this way... there isn't anything you can do to change what you did now. You can only move forward. Good Luck...

Mel answered Wednesday August 4 2004, 10:15 am:
hey there! after i read your question i did a search on yahoo, and i found this site:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It has ALL kinds of things in there... I didn't take the time to look through them all, but if you don't find what you need then tell me and i'll search for you more. But i'm 98% positive that the abortion shouldn't affect anymore pregnancies. I'm sure you can still have more babies, so don't worry too much about it. I give you a pat on the back for feeling guilty about what you did, because that shows you care and have feelings. it might have been a rash decision but you can't take it back now, so don't stress over it too much, you'll be okay eventually. best of luck <3

queenbee answered Wednesday August 4 2004, 10:14 am:
You should still be able to get pregnant but depending on your age and the type of abortion you had there may be some damage to the vaginal wall. However, the worst case scenario is that you would be unable to have a traditional birth and instead opt for a cesarean (c-section) which is becoming more and more common and can lower the babies chances of having damage from coming through the birth canal. As far as deciding to have an abortion I think that recognizing that it is not a good form of birth control is really important and if you are a religious person that knowing that baby is in a better place w/people who can take the proper care of him/her is also important. You also learned a valuable lesson but you had to learn it the hard way. You should remember that when you hear people on here talking about sex and if they are ready I am sure you could give them some great advice on why they should wait. Take care and God bless.

im almost positive that u can still ge tpregnant, u'd prolly hafta ask a doctor, and if u want any sites u can go to askjeeves.com or u can do a google search

u weren't takin the easy way out, u were thinkin about your life, and your future, yes there were other options, but dependin on ur age, it wouldn't matter

and abortion is the hardest (and in my opinion) worst desicion to make, it's killing an innocent persons life, BUT, u had ur reasons, and whats done is done

good luck!!
