Does Pregnancy Termination Affect Subsequent Pregnancies?

Hi - I had my abortion 10 years before. I had to abort as I was in college then. Now I have been married with a different guy and planning for a baby. Will that abortion affect anyway? I don t want my husband to know about my past abortion. Will he come to know during our visits to the doctor? Also I used to do skipping, jumping and yoga 2 years after my abortion. Is there any possibility to have a low uterus for the same? I am asking this as sometimes I feel something is coming out from my vagina but when I insert my finger I feel there is actually nothing coming out. I have my periods regularly though. Please help.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Generally, undergoing abortion should not cause any problem with pregnancy later. Sometimes, after undergoing abortion, if there is occurrence of pelvic infection, it could lead to blockage of Fallopian tubes, leading to infertility.
Since your periods are regular, there should be more possibility for you to conceive again.
Your husband wouldn't know about it, provided you do not disclose your past incident.
You are feeling something coming out of vagina because of your consciousness and because of any organic lesion. In case you need to confirm if there is anything, you can get a per speculum examination done by a Gynecologist.
Kindly try by timing it right and you should conceive, provided all other factors are proper.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
