I’ve gotten pregnant once before when I was 18. It definitely wasn’t planned, and due to being in a toxic and abusive relationship at the time I unfortunately ended up getting an abortion at 5 weeks.

Fast forward several years later, I’m finally in a better place (mentally and physically), more mature, and in a healthy long term relationship. We’ve been talking about wanting to start a family, and although we’ve been trying for a couple months- no luck yet..

I know I have an ovarian cyst and get short periods, but could having an abortion in my past cause problems with fertility? Or can it take a few months?

I feel so guilty thinking back on what happened in my past, because I would give anything to have the opportunity to start a family. I hope I didn’t affect my chances...fingers crossed🤞🏻

In the meantime, please feel free to let me know any insight if you’ve been in the same position or have some feedback on things we could be doing to help boost our chances.
