Discuss these  with your doctor.

Question 9

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.

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.
