A member asked:

I had an abortion at the age of 19 and am now 22 years old are my chances of a pregnancy slimmer because i had an abortion in my past?

Dr. Anthony Leazzo answered

No: Elective abortions do not effect your ability to get pregnant, but have been shown to effect embrio implantation within the uterus.
