Question 1

can you get pregnant after a abortion ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If an abortion is performed under safe conditions, the likelihood that it will interfere with your ability to have a healthy pregnancy in the future is extremely small.  There are possible complications, including infection that may lead to scarring of the fallopian tubes. You should make sure that you are well aware of the risks before making any decisions. Discuss these  with your doctor.

Question 2

can you get pregnant 1week after a surgical abortion?

Accepted Answer

Birth Control: yes, it is possible to get pregnant one week after an abortion. Also it is recommended not to have intercourse for at least 4 weeks after a D+c to allow  your cervix to fully close.

Question 3

can you get pregnant 7-10 days after a abortion?

Accepted Answer

NO: It would take at least several weeks before ovulation would occur after the end of a pregnancy - abortion or otherwise.  Conception will not occur until ovulation.

Question 4

is it easier to get pregnant after an abortion ?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: An abortion itself does not increase the chance of pregnancy. Since pregnancy only occurs in those able to get pregnanct, abortion, like miscarriage, selects out the fertile segment of the population. In this way the apparent pregnancy rate is increased compared to the population at large. Among the  risks of elective termination is infection or scarring, both of which can cause infertility.

Question 5

can you still get pregnant after having an abortion?

Accepted Answer

You mean EVER?: Yes, you generally can get pregnant after having had an abortion. If you had certain medical complications, i.e., infection, you could have problems that would make getting pregnant more difficult - but it's not likely. Most women have healthy pregnancies later in their lives - when they are really to welcome a baby. If you mean, right after an abotion, yes it can happen, so take precautions.

Question 6

is it possible for you to get pregnant after abortion?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Yes. You can get pregnant after an abortion. Have in mind that sometimes pregnancy hormones levels do not drop to zero inmediately and patients might think they are pregnant again  (if they do a pregnancy test within the first few weeks after an abortion)  when in reality its just that the hormones have not regressed to normal levels or zero.

Question 8

is it possible to get pregnant after abortion if i have a pco?

Accepted Answer

?: If you could get pregnant with pco before having an abortion, you  can likely get pregnant afterward. The abortion does not change your pco.

Question 9

is it harder to get pregnant after an abortion with no complications?

Accepted Answer

No: A medical or surgical abortion is a common, legal, and medically safe procedure.  It does not cause infertility, breast cancer, psychiatric problems, or other medical problems.  If you're having difficulty getting pregnant, you should see your doctor.  There are many possible causes.

Question 10

when is the safe and best time to get pregnant again after an abortion?

Accepted Answer

As soon as UR ready!: Older dictum was to wait for 3-6 months after a miscarriage before resuming sexual activity. More recent studies show that women who wait have lower fertility rates than women who don't. So, if you are trying to get pregnant, you can determine when you feel ready to resume sexual activity. Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily to prevent preterm birth, neural tube and cardiac anomalies in your offspring!
