abortion

[erinzbomb]

Hey,

Im 23 years old and i am pregnant at the moment.  I have had 3 terminations and one miscarage in the past along with one child.  I am wanting to know the risks of having a 4th medical termination.  Before the 3rd termination i was higly fertile, I would miss the pill for one day or a week and get pregnant instantly.  This time around I thought that maybe I wouldnt get pregnant again, I stopped taking the pill as it was making me very deppressed and ancious.  I stopped taking the pill almost 1 year ago and it is not until now that I have fallen.  I think  that if i have another termination I might never be able to have children again?  Would appreciated a responce

Thank you

I agree with the other women here- abortions are not a form of birth control. There is also no reason for a young woman who is at the height of her fertility age (I believe we peek around ages 21-25) to think she couldn't get pregnant- especially since you have several times before. I have had a Mirena IUD and currently have a Copper one- the IUD is the best form of birth control, but it is not recommended unless you are in a monogamous relationship. Neither will prevent STD's so you need to use condoms.

I am not a doc, but I do believe that each abortion damages your ability to conceive in the future. You really need to talk to your doctor. Maybe consider giving this baby up for adoption....

I agree with both grose and heatherlynn...abortions you need to stop using abortions as a form of birth control. There are plenty of ways to prevent pregnancy...you didn't say anything about your partner not being able to use condoms, you don't have to be the only one to use the birth control. A condom and spermicide could do you wonders...you're only 23, but old enough to know sex=babies. And I'll do the same as heatherlynn about holding my tongue on how I feel about abortions as birth control...USE A CONDOM!!!

i'll hold my tongue about how i feel about 4 abortions as a form of birth control (unless it was medically necessary i.e. you couldn't carry full term for whatever reason). but like grose said the copper iud has zero hormones and you don't have to worry about it for 5-10 years. if it's NOT the hormones that bother you mirena is also a good iud. i have the mirena and i love it. the hormones don't really affect me and it's great because i can never remember to take the pill, i've heard horror stories about the patch and i'm terrified of needles.

but....you need professional help. with the pregnancy and with well....you. a psychiatrist could probably do you wonders.

I think you need to stop using abortions as a form of birth control.

You could go on the copper IUD, it has no hormones, meaning, no side effects.

gal I dont wanna gudge you bt I agree with Kim1989 you need to see a professional we can not advise you on this one it is a serious case girl and you better consult someone asap

[Kim1989]

if you do not wish to be pregnant then refrain from sex or use condoms in addition to birth control (which you stopped and did not say why)

you want children in the future but are talking about terminiating another pregnancy....4th

i dont know the long term risks of abortions but i do know that your 4th termination your wanting is excessive and you might very well be doing damage to your body if you havent already. no one on here are doctors we cant give you medical advice. your looking for specific medical advice you need to see the doctors that are preforming all of these abortions for you. they should tell you the risks and complications of abortions....at least im pretty sure they should.
