Hi like you i also had a medical abortion at 11 weeks in October 2007 and also, like you my menstrual cycle has returned to normal. i do like you worry that my future chances of conceiving will be affected, however my step sister also had the same type of abortion when she was 16 and she had her first baby at 19 (a beautiful little boy and is now  and a half months pregnant with her second also a little boy) so i do think that all the religious stuff and judgments of others are nothing to be worried about.

I have a friend who has had 5 abortions she got pregnant when she was 17,18,19 and 20 within the last 3 years. she has gotten so obssesed with the whole thing she just keeps getting pregnant one after the other she suffers horribly from depression but after each abortion its taken her exactly 4 months to get pregnant again one time it took her 9 weeks to get pregnant after an abortion she has had no problems getting pregnant after 5 abortions so i think you would have no problems but then again it depends on your body and your age and no disrespect but your quiet older than her and i heard fertility decreases with age but for the most im sure you will be fine. dont give up and just keep trying god will answer your prayers and god always forgives. =)
