Am I Pregnant Answer A9917
Hello,
Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am really glad to help you out.

Since you have already been pregnant in the past and thus infertility is not a problem you should face.

However, the real concern is the abortions which you had. If the abortions were induced (medically terminated through dilatation & curettage), then there’s a possibility of formation of adhesions within the uterus increasing the chances of infertility.

However, if they were spontaneous abortions, then cause needs to be looked into. Generally, the first trimester abortions are due to congenital defects in the fetus.

Although you’re a little late for the pregnancy but the normal practice is to wait for at least 1 year of unprotected sexual intercourse before looking into the causes of infertility.

Please do consult your gynecologist for the same. I sincerely hope this information helps. Take care.
