What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Uterus Being Dilated?

Hi i am 44 who found out i was pregnant in Nov 2010, i had been told after my last child who is 12, that i could not get pregnant due to severe scar tissue. Needless to say i found out i was pregnant Nov 2010, i was in total shock! Scared, i decided to abort, i was nine weeks at the time. My husband and i would like to have another child, i was told at the time of the abortion that since i was early, i would not have to risk having my uterus dilated. i m not sure what procedure they used, can we still get pregnant??

Hi, thanks for the query. Just a correction, the uterus is not dilated to abort the fetus, its the cervix which is dilated and the inner lining of the uterus is scraped off. Its a completely safe procedure as the lining grows back and it wont hamper any future pregnancy.
