Am Pregnant. But Want To Have Abortion. Will This Affect My Chances Of Future Pregnancy? Any Test To See How Truly Fertile I Am?

I am 37 years old and just found out I am pregnant 3 days ago. Unfortunately my partner is not being supportive as he is much younger than me and does not want me to carry to term. I am not sure if I am ready to have child now either due to life circumstances. I am afraid if I have an abortion now that I will not be able to have a baby later in a couple years when I am ready. If I have an abortion will that ruin any chances of future pregnancy? Are there any tests to see how truly fertile I am?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The abortion at such an early pregnancy can be achieved by pills. This usually does not affect the chances of getting pregnant again if there are no complications and the procedure is not repeated again.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

hello,
thank you for your question
it seems that you are in first trimester.. abortion in such a early period has no harm for future pregnancy.. in your condition there is even no need of any surgical procedure for abortion ,it can be achieved just by pills.. consult gynecologist for abortion..
however from your question it seems till now you dont have children any you are already 37 years old.. well as your age will increase chances of complication during pregnancy can increase.. it is called elderly primi gravida .. ideal latest age for first child is 35 years.. i want you to think over this aspect
hope this helped you..
