Abortion and Infertility

I felt compelled today to research the topic of abortion and its link to infertility. I have heard about persons who had abortion and when they wanted to have kids later on, they were having difficult. Now I would state up front that I am a Christian and do not believe in abortion, but this article is not about judging anyone, but rather it is to offer insights into other possible conditions that may affect our uterus so that persons can become more informed and should they have a previous abortion/s and are having difficulties, they can decide to visit their health care provider for an assessment.

This topic is controversial and there are some who believe it does and others believe it doesn't cause abortion. The thing is though that many persons find a whole lot of ways to get an abortion done and when they are really desperate the methods take many forms. While some are not done by trained professionals, others involve some techniques that are relatively inexpensive for the birth mother, but also detrimental to their health.

Now what I have done is compiled information from different sites. Although it is not expected that abortion will infertility, it is a surgical procedure and as such there are some associated complications that may affect future fertility. Again, I am not here to judge or to condemn for we have all made some form of mistake one way or the other. Still, I will ask persons to reconsider  if you are currently thinking of it. You do not want to live with regrets.

"It's very unlikely that a past termination, if it was straightforward, will affect your chances of getting pregnant. Most women who have had a termination go on to have a baby when they are ready without any problems. Having conceived before proves that you ovulate and can get pregnant. So, rest assured that if it's taking longer than you'd like to get pregnant, it's unlikely to be because of the termination. Occasionally, though, if the termination was not straightforward, it may affect your fertility. An incomplete termination (retained products of conception) can increase the risk of infection and scarring. An infection setting in after the procedure, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), can cause a problem. If it's not treated early, PID can lead to blockages in and around the fallopian tubes. And there may be scarring at the top of your cervix (the entrance to your uterus) or inside your uterus."See for more information :http://www.babycentre.co.uk/x1013967/does-a-past-termination-affect-my-chances-of-getting-pregnant
That Abortion that Robbed me of my Children
In my many years of practice of medical ultrasound I have attended to thousands of women suffering from infertility due to many causes including abortion, legal or illegal. I had this patient, she has being married for over 7 years with no child. She came to me for ultrasound scan test, after the tests, I noticed that the endometrial cavity was thin and fibrosed with evidence of adhesion. I asked her if she had had a miscarriage, she told me that she had never being pregnant since she got married. I now asked her if she had ever being pregnant before she got married, and what happened to her. That was when she opened up and told me the whole story.
She was a virgin and had this boyfriend, after much pressure from the young man for some closer intimate moments with her, she finally gave in to keep the relationship. They had sex only once, but unfortunately for her she became pregnant. In an effort to hide it from their parents , since they were not ready to get married yet and were very young, they both agreed to have an abortion. They went to a clinic [qualified or not we cannot tell], and had the abortion, after that all was well. She separated from the young man , and had never had sex with any other man until she got married. Now for seven years she could not get pregnant, she thought she was cursed. She had done many tests and all results were normal but no improvement in her situation. Until she came to me and I made my findings.

In this article , I want to assure you that I am not here to talk about pro abortion nor con abortion issues. I am not here to condemn anyone, nor discuss moral issues of abortion. That is not my place. I am only interested in discussing about infertility, the causes, diagnostic tests, treatments especially a simple assisted reproductive technique called Intrauterine Insemination [IUI]. See for more information: http://www.nairaland.com/301409/abortion-robbed-me-children-infertility
Could an abortion increase the risk of problems in a subsequent pregnancy? Answers from Roger W. Harms, M.D.

  • Vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy
  • Preterm birth
  • Low birth weight
  • Placenta previa — when the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, which can cause severe bleeding before or during delivery

Generally, abortion isn't thought to cause fertility issues or complications in subsequent pregnancies. However, some research suggests a possible link between abortion and an increased risk of:

  5. Hello my name is Kyle from EDGEWOOD, Washington DC. I am here to give a glorious testimony of my life. Twelve (12) years after my marriage I have not been able to give birth to a child, it was getting unbearable for me and most especially my husband too. I was scared, my husband was loosing his patience for me though he did not say it out but I could see it in his eyes and the way his mood change most times until a day that we had a serious argument which almost led to the break of my marriage. I was loosing hope when a friend of mine told me about a powerful doctor, Dr. Osagie. I got to talk to him and I told him all I was passing through and he told me that all will be fine, although most times I had doubts but I had no choice but to try and see cause I had nothing else to loose. We discussed and he sent a medicinal herb that I took for 2wks and all of a sudden I began to feel weak and woozy anytime I woke up and my appetite for food increased, I told the Doctor all that was happening to me and he told me to go get a pregnancy test, guess what I was already 5days pregnant now I am a proud mother of 3 beautiful kids all thanks to Dr. Osagie if you feel you need help and your situation is just like mine do not be scared it is fine. You can get to Dr. Osagie through Email: DROSAGIE99@GMAIL.COM or you can also WhatsApp him Via +2349070977669. My regards to you out there.
    KYLE WARREN.
