Trying to get pregnant after an abortion 2...

[BroadWithInk]

...years ago.? I really dont want to hear any judgements you have, I have a daughter of my own and I know how precious life is, but unless you could have possibly known my situation, please. I just want some facts. Thanks. I had an abortion 2 years ago, and I knew 2 people that did as well. They kind of told me how the procedure should go, and mine seemed to be ALOT more painful then they explained. Shortly after the abortion maybe 2 months, if that I had REALLY bad stomach pains, went to the hospital they said it was my appendix and removed it. ever since, I get BAD BAD pains in my side every week or so. I go to the doctors they scan me.. Xray me.. and they say they dont see anything, but something is hurting tremendously. Ive also been trying to get pregnant for the last 8 months, and cant. Has anyone else been through this or can anyone give any sort of advise? I feel like the abortion really messed something up inside me and Im having trouble figuring out what.I have also seriously considered adopting. Its not something I am against. I really do love the idea, unfortunately I am only in a 1 bedroom apartment with a daughter already. I would need a second room, but that is something I am willing to do.

Just another reason why not to get an abortion you probably screwed something up and this is the payback for itOkay you don't even have room enough for another child so why are you even tryingYou will probably end up killing this one too

i really wish i had an answer for you, but this is interesting to me, i say see a specialist not just a family doctor or get as many second opinions as your insurance and your pocket book will allow. good luck

yes it did and now ur paying for it if u got a abortion i dont think u deserve to have a nother baby who knows what ull do when u dont want it throw it down the stairs so yeah u probably have an infection that nobody caught who knows mabye u have a deadly disease but go to a specialist

It could be psychological/trauma related to the abortion or other things in your life Suggest you see a psychatrist or a group like Project Rachel.

first off if you had an abortion two years ago what makes you think you should have another SO SOON if you had a sitiuation2 yrs ago which wasnt that long ago what makes you think youre ready now?? most likely you have done some kind of damage to youre body! and i would go to the obgyn and ask them this they might know before you have another!!! and you live in a one bedroom can you even afford to have another i think you should take the consideration and get you and youre daughter a house first and then consider another child what are you thinking!!!!

I feel as if I should say it, so I will: I am anti-abortion. There. Now, enough of that...Certain things matter in your situation.1) If you went to Planned Parenthood, I am not surprised that you have problems, as they seem a little hokey to me, even for an abortion clinic. Aside from the fact that they perform abortions, they do not have an ounce of my trust/respect. It seems to me that they like to lie to their clients and distort the truth about a lot of facts, such as the fact that the fetus does not feel pain, even though this is not scientifically proven and, given the fact that fetuses have nervous systems.2) What kind of abortion did you have? If they used chemicals, that could have done some damage. They might somehow be affecting your ability to maintain a pregnancy once implantation of an embryo on the uterine wall occurs. Maybe you could get a mucousal swab of some kind from your uterus, or perhaps blood tests. They might reveal something.Also, if they used some kind of device (like forceps/scissors) to dislodge your growing child, then, again, they might have injured you somehow, as you said it was painful.To detect this kind of injury, an x-ray won't do much, as soft tissue if not dense enough to be detected. You might need other kinds of tests, like ultra-sounds or MRIs. Exploratory surgery might help, too, but that's very expensive and might not be necessary.How do your periods feel?

The abortion probably has nothing to do with it. The apendectomy is abdominal surgery, a known risk of which is adhesions. This could be causing you pain. Not getting preggers in 8 months is not unusual at all. I married at 18 and it was over 2 years before i got preggers, than I got preggers 6 months after my baby was born. Pose your concerns to your doctor and listen to him/her. Stop trying to guess at alternate explainations.
