How soon can a woman get pregnant after an abortion.

i dont understand women who speak as though there mission in life is to get pregnant......no one should be having a baby unless they honestly want one in their deepest hearts of hearts. For women who are worried that they cannot get pregnant because of a previous abortion, dont worry, YOU CAN. again, dont be some aimless s*** in life. a kid should not be brought into this world to provide your life with meaning that is selfish and stupid.

Hi,
My friend is 15 and about 2 months ago she had an abortion. She was reluctant to do so but was pressured into doing it because of her age. She had sex with her boy friend again after about 1& half weeks. She has now just told me she is pregnant again...
Could it be possible that her hormones haven’t settled down yet giving a false positive test? As it has only been about two months since the abortion.

To the woman who wrote about having trouble getting pregnant after using the depo shot and then oral contraceptives....

I've heard A LOT of bad things about the depo shot. But, I understand why you got it. it's sooo convenient- you have lighter periods and the best part is that it lasts three months!!! So you don't have to worry about taking a pill EVERYDAY!!!! Especially when it means that the birth control is rendered ineffective if you miss twice in a row!! WOW! But.. the shot has a long history of adverse effects on the female body. Besides causing a dangerously significant reduction in the calcium in your bones, significanlty increasing the risk for osteoperosis later in life (especially) when you get the shot in your early twenties (while your bones are still developing). Anyways, the point is that the depo shot has been known to cause difficulty getting pregnant in women for sometimes long periods of time after it should have been left ineffective with time. But keep trying, I'll bet that this is a result of the shot and nothing too serious and you should be able to get pregnant soon enough :-).

I understand how your feeling. I want a baby more than anything. Good luck and God bless. ;-)

Darlene, you're a vile person, living in a fantasy world where everything is so clearly black and white. I used to be you. But then i fell in love (after choosing to be single for 7 years). I trusted this man with my life. I got pregnant 3 months ago. He then went from knowing exactly what he wanted, to be "confused", a favourite quote of mine is "my brain is like a jig saw, all in pieces". Our plans of wedding, baby, travel suddenly faded. Being an only child with no family around me, i had the abortion, because i literally had no one around me to help with raising this child, that i so desperately wanted - i was so close to actually having my own family. 2 hours following the abortion, he left me to go to work (to pull down a tree!, then left me for the weekend). That was 1 1/2 weeks ago. Since then i have been teary, angry and yes, taking it out on him. He has taken this opportunity to start moving his belongings out. So you see, i was a person (in my 30s) who had lived my life well, and came to trust this person after he worked so hard to gain my trust. I then got pregnant when he wanted me to get pregnant, and since then he's changed his tune. I've been taken for a royal ride, and it was all beyond my control - i didn't see it coming at all. I had no choice but to terminate the pregnancy - do you have any idea what it feels like to see you baby alive on a monitor one day, and then terminate it the next? Its heart breaking, soul destroying. I feel like a broken person. I never pressured him for a baby, i was happy to wait, even at my age. But he wanted the baby, then changed his mind. Now i'm the one who is being left - im still sore, im lonely, im angry - it's me who's sacrificed my principles, my future and my baby, because i had no choice. So please, before you judge, just consider that for a lot of women, its the most difficult "decision" to make, and often time, we don;t actually have a choice. Please don't judge, as i judge myself daily. There is a god, and i only hope he sees the situation i was in, and punishes appropriately.

I had intercourse 3 days ago.. have been feeling sick,bloated,dizzy and tired for 2 days now is this signs of pregnancy? I also feel a totally different person and feel moody and have this metally taste in my mouth.could anyone please answer this?

I just had a miscarriage and had it out Jan 8, 2011 and my doctor said no sex for 2 weeks. I had my depo shot on the same day when I already have 1 child, not looking for another yet. It's tough to "hold" back your sexual feelings, but you guys should of use condoms or at least she should of been on birth control if you guys weren't looking for another pregnancy. Good luck!!!

hii...i had a surgical abortion on january 14,2011 and since i was 5 weeks the doctor told me i have to get a check up in 2 weeks from that day because there was some cases where they missed the baby due to the time and how little it could've be..i haven't bleed or anything..not a sign of blood..a little pain the first day but nothing else...i so regret it...i didn't want to abort..i love the idea of having that baby but im a college student and my boyfriend is on his way to medical school this year..we couldnt think about any posibilities about having that baby..=( im sad i want my baby now...i dont really care about college anymore..i feel empty....is there any posibilties they could have missed it and im still pregnant? i took a pregnancy test today and it was positive.. i king of feel some of the symptons of my first weeks of pregnancy....i need help ..i need an answer %-) :'(

I had an abortion on Sept 8, 2010. I had been drinking a lot when I had no idea that I was indeed pregnant. So that's why I decided to have the abortion. I gained weight and have been depressed ever since. I think I may be pregnant again. My last period was December 24. And today is Feb. 20. Im scared to find out because I dont know what my parents are going to say. Ill be 23 this coming May. And honestly Im scared of what my best friends are going to say too. They went with me when I had the abortion. I guess Im going to Walmart now for a pregnancy test. If I am pregnant, I'm keeping it this time. I can't go through another abortion.

i just had an abortion on november 16 2010 and i was bleeding 1 month after ... i want to get pregnant , i been trying but the pregnancy test comes out negative and is been more than 2 months .... and i went to the doctorr and the doctor told me to wait 2 more weeks and the 2 weekss passed already . help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee anyone

I'm having the same problem.. Is been a month and 3 weeks after my abortion,... I been having unprotected sex because I do want to get pregnant again,I made a big mistake...the thing is that I had my first period after my abortion but it last one day..heavy bleeding pain and the regular flow but only one day..I usually get it for 5 days ...well after it went off I stary spotting a brownish thing was coming out..it stop for a whole week,now today it came back but not much u can't barelly noticed it...what should I think,may I be pregnant,may I be sick after the abortion.....what to think?? NEed some help ?

a pregnacy test can show positive after a abortion up to a month all depends on the females body.. the blood could be from recovering and her starting her first period id say take another test after a month to see if she is still prego. best way to tell is go get blood work done.

the answer to the original question here is YES you CAN get pregnant in the FUTURE if you had an abortion in the PAST.

but i don't understand those of you trying to get pregnant when you JUST had an abortion. it begs the question: what on earth did you have the abortion for then???

and one abortion is almost understandable (it's your choice!) but if you get pregnant and do it again you are just plain evil. abortions are not to be taken lightly, you don't get second chances, you don't get to choose again. if you get pregnant AGAIN just after having an abortion you owe it to that baby to keep it! how shameful.

i have had an abortion. and it is devastating.

i had an abortion three years ago, using a pill, my dude and i have been trying to get prego, well now im not getting there, can the abortion pill make it to were i cant get prego

Abortion, if performed properly, should not prevent you from conceiving in the future. I have heard however, through a nurse friend that, after receiving contraceptive shots many women can't fall pregnant. It also happened to her young sister who is only in her early 30s.Abortion is a deeply personal event, and i think, having gone through 2 myself, that one should wait before being, in my case pressured, to fall pregnant again. Take the time to heal. If the reason you aborted was your partner, believe me, you cant forget that. It will only drive a wedge between you. You will come to hate that person for what they forced you to do. No matter how much they may ask for forgiveness, you may find it hard to. See an abortion as a "second chance" - your baby is with a higher being (i believe, God), is not in pain and understands why you did what you did. It also provides you with an opportunity to look at your life, and partner, as see it/them, for what they are. Dont fall pregnant straight away, as often, the problems that were there that led to your previous abortion, are still there during your next pregnancy. I had domestic violence as an issue that arose when i fell pregnant, both times, after each pregnancy he swore black and blue he'd change. I was threatened, thrown around, hit, walls with holes in them.  It took me a year, but ive learnt my lesson. I havent left him yet, as financially it is difficult to do so in the next few months, but i can promise myself that i will never fall pregnant again to him unless i have no doubt as to his changing. Even if i have to take the pill behind his back. Please dont be pressured into anything by your partners. Especially if bad in-laws, and violence, are an issue. I was even threatened that i would be killed if i had an abortion or if i left him. There is no way i could bring a baby into that sort of relationship. At 35 years of age, and having been with him 4 years (my first real relationship - i was brought up conservative), not having any family of my own, it is very hard thinking of walking away. I just need to convince him that it is for the best if we go our seperate ways....I cant stand being around him or his family anymore. He's noticed that i dont even kiss him back anymore. I've never left anyone before, so tips for doing so would be greatly appreciated if you guys have any.

look let me tell you something you cannot have sex one week ofter abortion if you have sex one week after abortion the fetus will develop back so she could be pregnant
