Just to back up the other two, it is
highly unlikely that you have problems
conceiving due to the abortion (I believe
the actual chances are just 1%, and that's
not from the termination, but rather
infections which are more common in
childbirth). After a person gives birth,
ideally she would rest at least a year to
give her womb time to heal before trying
for another baby and this also applies
after an abortion or miscarriage, but no
way near as long. Nine months is a good
time for you womb to return to how it was
previously and heal after your pregnancy.
The only other thing I advise you on is
the reasons for wanting to be pregnant
again. Please, please be sure that you are
not trying to replace the baby you aborted
or wanting to cover any possible guilt for
what happened (your affair included),
because the consequences can be very
devastating emotionally and
psychologically for you and your family.
Be certain that you are wanting a baby for
all the right reasons (that you genuinely
want a child, not since you feel regret
for your abortion) - that's something you
owe to your husband and future baby and
most of all - yourself.
Good luck.
