Question
I have had a total of four abortions. I had one at 17yrs. old one at 19yrs old , 22yrs old and the most recent was at 27yrs. old. I am now 30 and desire to have a baby.  I've been trying for about a year and i have not got pregnant.  Do you think I will not be able to conceive anymore? I never had any complications with the abortions.  They were also done before 9 weeks.  Please help.I went to get my uterus checked the doctors said i was fine.

Answer
Hello Tammy,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so I recommend that you keep checking with your physician. Some women do have a complication from abortion in which they have trouble or can't get pregnant because of some physical problem. But some women have abortions and have no problem having a baby later. I can't tell you what your circumstances will be. You might want to check into Natural Family Planning. You can find the expert on there, Ramona, maybe she can help you. You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you want to talk more.

Sincerely,
