Know the Facts
Pregnancy is possible after abortion. Following a medical abortion, the ovaries can release an egg as quickly as eight days after the procedure. A woman can also become pregnant again after a surgical abortion, though her period can be early or late due to the uterus building a new lining.
However, fertility can be affected if certain complications occur. For example, a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure carries the potential risk of scar tissue forming on the uterine wall. Though this condition is rare, it can lead to infertility.
