Does Medical Abortion Affects Pregnancy In Future?

Hi I had a medical abortion in August 2013, as soon as I done it I realised I'd made a huge mistake and have been trying ever since but with no luck , I had retained tissue and needed a course if anti biotics and was fine. I'm worried this could have caused a problem for me to concieve again?

Hi
Medical abortion does not affect future fertility. So don't feel guilty about it.
Did you have fever/foul smelling discharge with retained tissue? If the answer is NO then even this is not of concern. Some women do have retained tissue for a longer period of time after abortion.

What is your age and BMI ? Do you have regular cycles. Since you have been trying for one and half years you and your husband should consult your gynecologist. They would do baseline subfertility investigations ( hormone assay, pelvic ultrasound and fallopian tube patency test for you and semen analysis for your husband). Based on the results of investigations treatment will be planned.
Take one tablet of folic acid daily.
To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking ( if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three times in a week.

If you have any further concerns do contact me through Healthcare Magic.
