Posting for a friend. Abortion, Infertility?

[twins09356]

My friend had a successful pregnancy (twins) in 2009. In July 2012 she found out she was pregnant and she couldn't afford the doc bills, etc, she just wasnt ready... So she terminated the pregnancy at a clinic August 2012. (8wks along) . she says will forever hate herself for it, she will never ever forgive herself for it, no matter what. Because GOD knew what he was doing .. Considering money wise she is  perfectly fine now! Anyways.. she suffers everyday with the thought If she will never have the chance again to have another child. her and her bf never use a condom and he even "cums" in her.. sometimes around what she think is around ovulation.. she Doesn't understand.. Could the Termination have screwed her up ?

I don't want this answer to scare you but a lot of woman don't get told the facts about abortion. I travelled to the united nations to speak on this issue with a group of doctors, therapists and a friend of mine who personally herself had two previous abortions. We spoke on how abortion is actually proven to be linked to breast cancer. Something no one wants to believe but the facts are there. When a woman has an abortion it is a traumatic experience for the body and the milk production in her breasts it was is linked to the breast cancer as it doesn't "flush out" essentially like it would in a miscarriage ( tho sad your body knows this as a natural experience) to make a long story short this shock to the body has been linked to breast cancer. My friend herself spoke on the depression she suffered from after her abortions and the lies she was told from the doctors like "Its just a little dot" which her little "dot" by that time actually had a heart beat and was a very developed baby. Abortion can cause infertility. Depression. And much more. But there is good news! God is good and forgiving and although many woman have a hard time getting pregnant after abortions many years later my friend eventually gave birth to a very beautiful boy. My best wishes and prayers to your friend

It is unlikely unless she had complications from the termination...which she would have known if there were any complications.  I had a termination in 2010 and am now pregnant with my 3rd after ttc for 6 months.  It can take a normal healthy person upto 1 yr to conceive....maybe she's not timing her ovulation right...she should try the digital ovulation predictors and also tell her to relax and stop beating herself up about the abortion.  The stress adds more pressure and doesn't help her in getting pregnant again. Good luck
