Question
Hi,
I'm 5 and a half weeks pregnant and plan to have an abortion within the week. What do you recommend as the safer option in terms of future fertility? I would one day, when I'm financially able to, like to have a child, but not right now. I'm trying to ensure my chances of that. What do you recommend?

Thank you.

Answer
Dear Holly,

I just got your question so I wonder what decision you made. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know. I would have not recommend abortion at all because of my counseling with women after abortion. Most women regret abortion. If you did choose abortion and have any post abortion feelings, please let me know. You may email me about that at the above email address. Please put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line of your email.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
