I don't think she will as long as no problems came up during the surgery. I think she is okay just watch for tubal pregnancies I heard they were more common if you have had an abortion.

Tubal is also know as ectopic and would require surgery to remove (baby can't grow there).

If her she didn't have any problems after, she probably won't have trouble conceiving. There have been cases where after abortion the woman was left infertile.

The risk of infertility after abortion is neglible and certainly is much less than after giving birth.

Something to Consider
Posted: 08-07-07 07:10am

Ladies, please be careful on what you read about abortion causing infertility and harm to your body. They are a bunch of boloney. Yes you may have a complication but that is rare or if the abortion was botched. I knew someone who read one of those websites and got pregnant again after having an abortion. I find it ironic how this website was prolife. (my stance on abortion: I myself wouldn't have an abortion but its not business if someone else does)I understand that the agenda may be to scare off women into not having an abortion (that's not fair this is misleading and that clearly may be a problem like in this case.) but my friend failed to use protection the second time. And guess what she had another abortion. Think about it: on an aspirin bottle they will say warning may cause you to bleed to death but how many people do you know bleed to death from taking an aspirin? In other words they give you the worse case scenerio in any medical procedure. Also, I find it funny how when a women who has a miscarriage gets a D&C the same procedure that a girl/women who gets an abortion some websites indicate that a D&C actually increases your fertilty. Hmmmmmm? Rolling Eyes
