Question

How to make it through mother's day.

I didn't know where to post this but I need some help. Mother's day has always been an easy day/ weekend to get through. I have an amazing mom who has always and still is there for me but this year is different for me. Because of the fact that my husband and I have been ttc for 3 cycles now and AF is due today. We have been learning my cycles and tracking them now cause all this is new to us. This cycle was the one we were 100% on. We got the clearblue ovulation kit and hit it right on the head but still bfn. I know I can get pregnant because I was about 7 yrs ago but being 19 and with a no good baby father I got scared and made the decision not to have it at 8wks. I'm scared now to think that that decision I made is cause us problems now. If anybody has been through an abortion and later on to conceive and have a healthy child. Please, please help me. This is becoming so emotional and so not the fun joyful experience I thought it would be.

I was very touched reading your story. First off , an abortion can in rare cases cause scarring at the top of the cervix or inside the uterus. This can cause issues, but a hysteroscopy can check for that and repair the problem. I never had an abortion but had to undergo 3 D&C procedures in the last 12 years because of incomplete or missed miscarriages. A D &C and an abortion are very much the same procedures - dilation and cleaning out. Despite my repeated procedures, I was still able to conceive. We have a total of 4 children with 3 conceived after the 3 D&Cs. So there is hope. Also, you are young and your chances of conceiving are very good. There is only a 20-25 % chance of conceiving in every cycle, and this is the case even for younger women. So it can take you easily up to 6 months or even a year to become successful. If you suspect you have a fertility problem because of your past procedure, see your dr for reassurance. Best wishes and the Lord's bless

Thanks so much for taking the time out to respond I wasn't sure if anybody would and really need to hear from someone. So thank you! It's been a extremely hard weekend and I can't wait for it to be over. I've let it all consume me and I'm trying to find my way off this emotional rollercoaster. But Happy mother's day to u. Or I like to call it. "happy superwoman's day" :-D

My sister in law has had three abortions in her life and had a healthy pregnancy and baby afterwards. Stay positive and confident! Good luck to you!
