Does Abortion Reduce The Chances Of Pregnancy In Future?

I had an abortion 10 days ago, I was nine weeks in, I chose the option where I got one pill and antibiotics at the clinic and they gave me 4 pills to take home, let dissolve in my mouth for 1/2 an hour and Then swallow them. It was an incredibly painful and traumatic experience that I will never go through again. Although I am positive that it was the right decision and I had a lot of support from the 2 people I told (my boyfriend and best friend), I ve been feeling A LOT of regret and resentment. I ve been way more emotion than ever before and I keep telling myself it s the hormones and it will pass in time. However, I just noticed that I am lactating, I know this is normal but I would like to know how long it will last, if it has any risks and also if the abortion will depreciate my chances of getting pregnant in the future. I am only 18 and I ve always wanted children. I would be devastated if I can t have children because I was young and not ready.
