A week ago , I went through an abortion. I was 19 weeks pregnant as on Friday 17th December 2010. I opted for the abortion due to personal reasons. I am single. I don't have an active sex life , except for the person I am dating right now, we don't indulge in intercourse too often.
We plan to get married in a year or two and have babies too. I did not have a choice but to abort the child. I am now concerned about the side effects of this action. Will I be able to conceive again?
I went through the abortion on Tuesday (21st dec) , I was admittd in the nursing home on Monday (20th dec). The doctor had inserted a pill into me once in the morning and once in the evening. It took me 24 hours to actually complete the process. I experienced heavy bleeding in the next 3 days, I came back home on Tuesday itself. I also have experienced bleeding in relatively huge clots. Now the cramps and the bleeding has reduced.
Please suggest , if I should get myself checked and what tests need to be done to ensure that my health has not been affected and that I can conceive again.

PS: this was my first pregnancy.

What country are you in?
I'll bite my tongue about you waiting 19 weeks, 4 1/2 months, or asking these questions after the fact.
Of course you bled a lot; a lot surrounds the fetus.
Sometimes a D&C is done to remove any tissue that didn't come out on it's own.
I don't see any reason why you can't have babies in the future, but I'm not a doctor nor do I know your situation. A follow up doctor's visit is a good idea.

What country are you in? Most countries won't do an abortion past 12 weeks.

With that said, all of what you are experiencing is normal and expected after the birth of a baby whether the baby is alive or not.

Girl it breaks my heart to hear you wanted so long to get an abortion you should have just carried that baby to term and give it up for adoption or just keeped your mind made up and kept the baby. At 19wks you had a perfectly healthy develop baby that felt the pain of you killing it.
