Hi, Thanks for writing..
If you have resumed your normal periods and had no infection following abortion, there is no reason for thinking that you will not conceive.. Medical abortion had lesser chance of infection as compared to surgical method. Since you have an yellowish discharge get a swab done to see for vaginal infection and take antibiotics according to the sensitivity.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..

Hallow Dear,
Now you are about 23 years young. Previously you have proved your capacity to conceive. So unless some complication has occurred, you stand a very good chance to conceive.
Yellow discharge you are having needs to be paid attention to. Please get is examined from a Gynaecologist to find out whether you have any vaginal infection; if so get it treated. It may affect the fertility.
Give a fair trial for natural conception for about a year. Even after one year if you do not conceive, then you may think of undergoing some investigations with the advice of a Gynaecologist.
I hope this helps you.
