Maybe give some free advice about: Abortion?
If you had a legal, safe procedure by a licensed doctor, then there is no reason at all to think you wont get pregnant in the future. Current abortion practices are very safe, and don't cause damage to a woman's ability to conceive.
If you are concerned, talk to a doctor.
If you are unhappy and experiencing lots of guilt and challenges after your abortion, seek counselling to help you deal with these feelings.
Many women do experience shame and regret after their abortion - and woman many are simply happy and relieved. All that matters for you is being honest with how you feel and what you believe, and that you take care of yourself and get the support and medical care you need.
You made a choice, and sometimes we regret our choices, but not every choice we regret is the wrong choice to have made. Even if were wrong, making mistakes or being wrong, doesn't make you a bad person. You are only human.
Take care of yourself. You deserve the care of proffesionals and to have your questions answered by the proffesionals. Don't rely on the internet - there is a lot of lies and nonsense out there on both sides of the debate about abortion. See a doctor if you are concerned about your fertility and health. See a counsellor to help you care for your mental health.
