Question
i had an abortion 5weeks ago,but both me and my huband regret what we did. we thought it would be for the best as we have a young baby already. now we want a baby.when would be the best tme to try

Answer
Dear Mary,
You can go ahead and start to try immediately.  There are no risks to the pregnancy.  It sounds like you made a difficult decision.  Sometimes, you have to see the silver lining, as going through this experience made you and your husband clearer about what you want.  You can go into this pregnancy excited and positive, knowing this is what you both want to do.
Good luck!
