I've herd that cos of the hormones in ur body,u can get pregnant quite soon after.I've also herd it can stop women from having more children.I guess it depends on: when did u have it? And how far gone were u?

I've gone through this and I cried leaving the clinc and for days after.
But I got pregnant again 2 months later. It isn't a matter of how long it will take it can happen the following month. It depends on how long you choose to give your body time to recover. Good luck!!

I am not trying to sound cruel, but what the heck? You just had an abortion, you regret it, so now you want to get pregnant right away? If you were not ready to have the one that you "terminated" then why do you want to jump right into getting pregnant again? I understand that you feel badly and what not, but what is done is done. If you want to have a baby I would wait at least a year or two now. The reasons that you did not want a baby just a short while ago could not have changed this soon. But good luck with whatever you do.

I agree with saturn. I mean you got rid of the last one, and you want to try again? Being pregnant and having a baby is not a game to see if you want to do it again. Its a real thing. Its not being pregnant, its raising a baby for the next 18 years. And you will be responsible. You cant keep terminating them. I would give it more time before you try again. And think more on it.

Yup, I agree with the last ccouple responses. You just terminated a pregnancy, and your main worry is when you can try it again? This is a life we're talking about. Really, take your time, heal and whatnot, and maybe when you know you are in a better position, think about having another child.

Twinky...
You should wait 6 weeks, like after having a baby to have sex...And as for having a baby, the proper time would be a year...To let your baby heal, to help in having a healthy baby.

Good luck,

I agree wit what half of them are sayin. U just had an abortion so wait till u're more mature 2 consider havin a child. I'm a teen mother myself and my situation was hard but I choose to have my daughter. It's not the childs fault that u're decidin to abort them. It's u'res 4 gettin preg-o wit out carin.
I'm not tryin 2 sound ig, but it's the truth havin a child is not a game. Think bout what people say. Good luck!!!

Babies After Abortion
You can get pregnant as soon as 2 weeks after you have the procedure done. They generally give you a couple of packs of birth control when you have it done. The key is going to your doctor before those run out to get a full year's worth. But, almost immediately, you can have a child...And the procedure will not effect your birth.
