I had cramps/dark bloody
discharge/liverclots/pelvic pain since my
abortion.When I went rturned to the clinic
after 4 wks of this they found retained
tissue.I left it that long because they
told me it was normal.
After my second d&c my bleeding and
pelvic pains continued for the last 3 yrs.
Eventually they found so much scar tissue
-they seem to think it was from a
undetected infection. I have never had
any gynae issues before my abortion. I am
now infertile.
If you have continuous pelvic apin for
weeks and unusual discharge you must go
back.Its not normal.
Regards xxxx

Just wanted to say i'm really sorry that
you have had such a bad experience. I'm
sure your story will help others to seek
help before it becomes too late.
All the best.

Infertility stemming from abortion is so
rare these days that it is not a concern
enough for doctors to remind their
patients of the slight risk.
You need not answer this here if you don't
want to, but did you have your abortion
after the first trimester? Abortions
after 12 weeks are more prone to end in
infection, and I think the rate of
infection in first trimester abortions is
less than one percent.
Regardless, i'm sorry you had a
less-than-fulfilling experience with this.
I don't think it's a bad thing to make
women aware of the possibility of
something like this, but I hope masses of
women set on abortion don't go off and
change their minds and have kids they
don't want in fear of the small
possibility of infertility.

Also, you may very well be able to become
pregnant!
If you are having a period monthly, then
you are ovulating!!
Perhaps you should get a fertility monitor
to try and concieve!
I have seen women have 2-3 abortions, yet
have 3-4 healthy children!

i have seen people from
communist countries have 15-18 abortions
and still have several children later on.

just because you are having a period
doesn't mean you are necessary ovulating.
The wife of my cousin can't get pregnant
and she has her period every month.
This lady sounds to me she had a
chlamydial infection, #1 bacterial
infection that causes infertility due to
scar tissue/ pelvic imflamotory disease.

Just because she cannot get pregnant does
not mean she is not ovulating, there are
12$ tests that she can do for a few weeks
to see if she is =)
male sperm counts can be low also..
Chlamydia infection would be something to
consider.
