Question

Back in 2011 I had an abortion. I was 17 and just wasn't ready for a baby. I completely agree that it was a terrible thing to do and I totally regret it. I live with it each day. Anywho, when I had the at home abortion and came back to the clinic for a check up, everything was cleared out, which means it was a successful abortion. About a day later, I got a call about my body not responding well to the abortion and they said if I didn't come into the clinic within 72 hours and a get a shot that was supposed to put my body back on track, I wouldn't be able to have children again. So the next day, I went in and got the shot. Now in my present time, I am trying to conceive, however, I really have had no luck. Are there any tips for me conveiving? I think my worst nightmare is never being able to have children, and it's scary to think that this actually maybe the reason why I cannot get pregnant.

Big hugs.

Answer

My college roommate got pregnant when she was 18 and about to leave for college in 2 weeks. Clearly not the best time. She had an abortion although I believe it was successful with no complications. She graduated college and got married a couple years later. She is now 25 and happily pregnant and having a healthy baby boy the first week of May. I know it's a little different because you had some complications but I know she was concerned her past would prevent her from getting pg now. So I hope this gives you a little hope and know that it can happen. I also want to give you credit for not only making the best decision for you when you were 17 but for having the courage to share your situation. Never doubt your decision, you did what was best for you at the time and you deserve the right to make that choice for yourself. Good luck!

Answer

So sorry to hear about your past. But since then have you had a preconception checked with you OB? I'm sure giving your history she could do some testing to help calm your nerves. GL!
