It depends on the size and location of the fibroids. Generally, fibroids are the most problematic when they are inside the endometrial cavity, which is where the baby grows during pregnancy.

I would recommend that you see a fertility doctor to get your best answer to this question.

Does an abortion bring down the chances of future pregnancy?

No, not unless there were complications from the procedure itself, such as excessive bleeding, infection, or perforation of the uterus.
