More than likely. While there have been cases of infertility due to malpractice or scar tissue, it's rare. Malpractice is much less common in modern medicine and scar tissue only affects those who have had multiple abortions. Your chances of getting pregnant in the future are about as good as they are now.
Be sure to discuss all of the details and options with your abortion counselor, clinics provide them free of charge, but you may have to request one. Good luck.
EDIT: Please do not look these things up on the internet. That is what your abortion counselor is for. She will provide you with any info you request, including pictures if you like. Unfortunately a lot of the stuff online is altered, and pro-life propaganda.

The bottom line is that when an abortion has been conducted; legally, safely, professionally and providing there are no complications arising from it, there is no significant risk to the future fertility of the woman involved. Some studies have shown a small increase in the risk of having a miscarriage or preterm delivery in a future pregnancy following an abortion. This is usually caused by cervical incompetence (the cervix being unable to close tightly during pregnancy). The risk of cervical incompetence does increase according to the number of abortion procedures undertaken. However, a properly performed abortion will not affect the woman’s fertility.
Anyone who tells you it can affect your fertility is lying to you. I had an abortion 2 1/2 yrs ago and I am now the proud mother to a 6 months old. You take care of yourself.
Edit: I guess somebody can't handle the fact that abortions are safer than pregnancy and childbirth. You are gonna be fine Asker, your future fertility is safe.

How far along are you? There is an abortion pill you can take but they will not give it to you if your over 12 weeks.They tell you there is a risk you can't get pregnant again. But there is also a chance you can get pregnant..Please think ALOT b4 you get a abortion. I was 16 when i had my daughter and she is the best thing that has even happend to me...I am now 22 and married with my 3rd and the last baby on her way. Please remember everything happends to us for a reason..God Bless!!

WHether you can have children in the future depends on how much scar tissue there is. You really should keep your baby. Everything happens for a reason. If you really don't want to be a mom yet consider an open adoption where you can still be in your child's life. Abortion seems like a "quick fix" to an unwanted pregnancy, but it will haunt you forever. No one has the right to take an innocent life!

That's a myth! If someone posts to this question about it being true, please PLEASE don't listen to them. I have had two abortions due to personal reasons and I am pregnant again. I am not high risk nor have any complications. I am perfectly healthy and my doctor does not find my previous abortions to be any concern to my current pregnancy. As long as the abortions are done under proper medical attention, then you should be fine. Do NOT attempt to abort the child by yourself or under a non-medical facility.

I'm 16, and my boyfriend and i do have sex, but if i ever got pregnant i would definitely take responsibility for my actions, and at least have the baby. My family has strong beliefs, they are absolutely against abortion. My dad would not even let me consider that option. We have talked about it before, and he said if i ever got pregnant before i was finished with college, he would take care of the baby until i was stable enough to take care of it on my own. Please don't kill this baby just because it's inconvenient for you. Learn to think about your actions, and the possibilities of what could happen. If you were raped, that would be a different story. My dad believes in abortion at that point. I don't, even though you were raped, it's STiLL YOUR BABY. Don't kill an innocent baby :(
If you tell your parents you want to have it, they will let you do so, if they have any morals at all.

That is life inside of you think about what you are doing there are other options like adoption there are a lot of adult women out there who would love to be pregnant and become a mom, it s a blessing to be pregnant, I know you are 14 but you made a adult decision to have sex make a adult decision and give this baby a chance some family would love you raise this precious child

I don't agree with abortion. So i don't know the answer to your question.
Since your only 14 i don't think you should do this. it mean a lot more than you could understand. Whether you like it or not. Google abortion pictures. Look up "the silent scream"
Im not trying to be rude, just educate your self about this before you go and do it. Im sure your parents wont hate you and what ever else you are thinking. They are you parents and they love you. Please think about what your doing. trying getting on birth control after you have the baby. if you do. good luck and im praying for you and that unborn baby!

why the heck is a 14 year old having sex? i hope that you learned from your mistake and that you will think twice next time!
Is having the baby and giving up for adoption an option. there are so many people out there that would just love to have a baby, but they can not get pregnant! if your adult enough to have sex. you should be adult enough to at least take care of the innocent baby that was created by you when you had sex. whether you take care of he or she or you give the baby up for adoption. that baby deserves a fair shot at life!

anyone who says yes is lying to you to scare you. shame on them for lying to a vulnerable young women!
if your procedure is being performed in a sterile clinic by a qualified physician, you WILL NOT have any complications that will affect future fertility. in other words, you will be able to have a child in the FAR future when you are ready and able to. good luck hun.

As long as the abortion goes to plan then you should be fine to have children when your old and mature enough to cope.

you will be fine to have children.
they recommend no more than 2 abortions as that could possibly make it harder to conceive later in the future due to scar tissue.
2009-05-26 15:49:14 UTC
No you can still have kids, but why would you? You killed your fist. You have to remember, you are still that babys mom, even though you killed it. God bless.
