Question
I am a 32 year mother of 2 who is considering having her 6th abortion.  I've been doing some research on the risk factors that multiple abortions can have on a your body.  Is there a limit to a number of abortions that a woman can have without physical complications.   Any information or advice that you can me on this would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi dear Tangy,
No. If your abortions were done in a medic set up by a doctor, there is no limit.
Many years in Greece there was no contraception pill available. Some women had over 30 abortions and still were normally fertile. So no worry. But why do you risk unprotected sex all the time ? Not because of fertility problems, but because of  transmitting  infectious diseases.
Take better care of yourself !
