Fertility post AB: The number of abortions is less important than the physician that performed the procedure, and whether you had an post abortion complications. In most cases this is a very safe procedure if performed by a competent md. In almost all cases using bcp;s does not decrease fertility. Exceptions are simultaneous infection or the onset of menopause.

Not necessarily: Abortions generally do not cause infertility. However, complications of abortions, such as uterine scarring may make it more difficult to conceive later. Fortunately, this risk is relatively low.
