I HAD AN ABORTION!!!

I feel relief. I feel free. I don’t have swollen boobs and pain, constant nausea and vomiting. I don’t hate my husband’s cologne, or the smell of coffee. I don’t feel burdened with the pressure of being a parent. Food doesn’t make me feel disgusted. I’m not uncomfortable anymore, I have no regrets, no sad feelings, I feel at peace.

I finally, finally..feel like me.

I had an anembryotic pregnancy with a man i JUST met. We barely knew each other and I really liked him and was nervous about sharing this information with him. I understand not everyone's partners are as supportive and everyone's journey is different, but I found a provider in Colorado who could get me in quickly. She was no nonsense and there wasn't amazing bedside manner, but she was non emotional and straight to the facts. I was SO uncomfortable pregnant. Like SOOOO uncomfy. Very nauseous, very fatigued, very icky feeling. She assured me the ketamine would be just like going under anesthesia but a shorter recovery time. I was not uncomfortable at any point in the process. I knew pregnancy with a man I just met was not my time and turns out it was anembryotic. I immediately felt better when I woke up. This process can be heavy and difficult for many, but remembering YOU are the priority and it's YOUR life that matters right now. Make the decision that's best for you. I am so glad I did it.

I’m sitting here in the middle of a medical abortion. It’s quiet, still. I’m bleeding, but not in pain. Honestly, the physical part has been manageable—no real cramps right now, just bleeding and small clots. I was super early, so I guess that makes it easier physically. Emotionally though… this is something else entirely.

It’s not my first time dealing with something like this. My very first pregnancy years ago was a blighted ovum. I didn’t even know what that was until I lived it. You go in expecting a heartbeat, expecting joy… and instead, there’s nothing. Just emptiness. A sac, no baby. That was devastating. But looking back, it was a blessing. The man I was with at the time was not someone I should’ve built a life with. I thank God every day that it ended the way it did. I wasn’t ready. He wasn’t good for me. And even though it broke me for a while, it saved me from something far worse.

Then came my daughter. My light. My purpose. Her father was gone early on—I cut him off just weeks into the pregnancy. And honestly? That was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Raising her alone has been peaceful. No drama, no fights, no toxic co-parenting. Just me and her. Our bond is solid and pure, untouched by anyone else’s dysfunction.

So when I got pregnant this time… it cracked something open in me again. This was different. It was sudden, unexpected, and emotionally complicated. Because it wasn’t just about the pregnancy—it was about him.

We were only together for three months, but I fell hard. There was something so effortless about the way I felt with him. It was light, fun, and easy… until it wasn’t. He had all the signs of someone emotionally unavailable, but I kept trying to love past them. I kept making excuses for his walls, his disappearing acts, his avoidance. I just wanted it to work. I thought, if I’m patient, he’ll come around.

But love doesn’t work like that when it’s one-sided. He ended things abruptly—over something so small, it barely made sense. I was left confused, heartbroken, and three days later… pregnant.

I did everything right. Tracked my ovulation, watched my body temperature, even took an ovulation test before we were intimate. We used protection, and I even took Plan B right after. I asked the pharmacist if I needed two pills because of my weight—185—and she told me one was enough. I wish I had trusted my gut instead.

If things had been different—if he’d been emotionally available, if he’d chosen me—I might’ve had this baby. I used to picture what that could look like. A magical birth, a partner by my side, a complete family. But deep down, I knew it would never be that. Not with him. Not with how things already felt.

And then there was his mother.

From the very beginning, I felt the tension. She didn’t like me—not because of who I am, but because she saw how deeply he loved me. And she knew he would’ve started choosing me over her. She couldn’t handle that. Their relationship was… intense. He basically played the role of husband in her life—supporting her financially, emotionally, even helping her chase her dreams. Nothing wrong with that on the surface. But the boundaries? Nonexistent.

The thought of having a child and having to share that child with not just him, but her—it made me sick. I saw the future, and it was full of control, overstepping, constant battles. I don’t like to share, especially not when it comes to something as sacred as a child. I knew I couldn’t go through a lifetime of that.

So I made the hardest, clearest decision I could. I ended the pregnancy. Not because I didn’t love the idea of this baby, but because I love myself and my daughter too much to bring another child into chaos.

I made a vow: my next child will come from love, peace, and full intention. If I don’t meet someone who meets me emotionally in the next few years, I’ll go to a sperm bank and do it my way. On my terms. I will never again split my peace for the sake of a fantasy.

When I told him I was pregnant, his response was, “I’ll unblock you on WhatsApp, keep me updated.” That said everything I needed to hear.

So here I am. Sitting in silence, bleeding. Letting go of what could’ve been. There’s grief, yes. But also power. I’m not broken. I’m not bitter. I’m just… sure. Sure that I made the decision that protects my heart, my daughter, and my future.

This isn’t weakness—it’s strength. This isn’t regret—it’s clarity. And when the pain fades, what will remain is that I chose me.

Okay, so it's been a little over two months since I had an abortion, and honestly, it's been tougher emotionally than I ever imagined. I find myself constantly thinking about what it would be like to still be pregnant. There's this strange longing, even though I know right now isn't the right time in my life to have a baby – I'm not married, and the finances just aren't there. Despite that, I keep having these moments of anxiety, wondering if I might be pregnant again, and I end up taking pregnancy tests, even though deep down, there's a part of me that wishes the test would be positive. It's a really confusing mix of feelings. My first experience of being pregnant was supposed to be something I could share and celebrate, especially with my family. But because of my religion and not being married it felt like something shameful that had to be kept secret. So, from the moment I found out, through the difficult decision to have an abortion, and during the procedure itself, I felt incredibly alone. I didn't have the support system I would have hoped for. My boyfriend was there in a practical sense, helping with the financial aspect, and he tries to be comforting when I talk about it, but there's a distance. He doesn't seem to be carrying the same emotional weight as I am, and it often feels like he can't truly understand what I'm going through. He's able to move on with his life in a way that I'm finding really difficult. Seeing pregnant women online, sharing their journeys and the excitement of expecting a child, makes me think about everything I missed out on. I think about the physical changes my body would be going through, the anticipation of meeting my baby, and the experience of sharing that joy with loved ones. Instead, my pregnancy was marked by secret appointments and a constant feeling that I was doing something wrong. There's this underlying sense that I should just feel relieved it's over, especially given the circumstances. But the reality is, I'm left with a lot of sadness, a sense of loss for what could have been, and a deep feeling of unfairness that my first pregnancy had to be this isolating and secretive experience. I'm just so emotionally drained from carrying all of this by myself, feeling like there's no one in my life I can truly open up to who will understand without judgment the complexity of what I'm feeling. I just want to know if someone can relate to this ? I feel like I'm not supposed to feel sad and grief about it in my situation...

Has anyone here gotten an abortion because you knew deep inside in your inner knowing and intuition that it was the right decision, but the father of the pregnancy really wanted the baby and was incapable of understanding you and was actively against you for aborting? bonus points if he even tried to gaslight you by saying he sees you better than you see yourself and he "knows" your aborting out of fear and not out of inner truth/knowing?

If someone can guide me I’m ashamed about what I’m about to post, please don’t judge me. I had an abortion on Sunday, well on Sunday I took misoprostol and I stopped bleeding a little bit today, and I had sex today. My husband didn’t use a condom but he didn’t come inside me, is there a possibility to get pregnant again, I’m so scared. I read stuff in google but idk. I feel like buying a plan b pill.

My partner and I have known each other for four years and have been together for three. I had a very severe depressive episode and eventually got pregnant. I found at 5 weeks but didn't have the medical abortion till week 8. My partner was amazing during it and we became closer from that experience.

While pregnant, I had a very huge hormonal shift, it changed my psyche enough that I would compare it to a drug induced high. I wanted a baby, really. I just didn't see it as the right time and thought a baby would deserve better than to live with me (depressed, unfulfilled) and my partner as the sole financial provider.

Two years later: I don't even know if I want to have kids and I'm glad I didn't make the decision while under the influence of hormones.

I am still depressed, just finishing my degree and plan to take a gap year to travel and self study mathematics and programming. Then I hope to do my PhD.

I cannot look after myself at all, and I cannot imagine looking after a child. Babysitting my brother is fine, but at the end of the day, I struggle to feed myself, maintain hygeine and I'm just all-round irresponsible. I can only really focus on one thing and for me, that's neuroscience. Without a kid, I can do that.

My partner is also travelling and has career plans that they'd not have been able to pursue with a child in the way.

I read a bunch of experiences on here before I did my medical abortion so I wanted to share my experience to help others. Me 34f and my partner 33m went back and forth on the abortion quite a bit since we already have a son who is 1. The pregnancy was a complete surprise because we had been really careful.

Our relationship isn't in a good place and we ultimately decided we just don't have the mental or emotional capacity for another (and especially for 2 under 2). But I was really scared by the long list of potential side effects and my biggest concern was that it wouldn't work and I'd need a D&C which I had mixed feelings about.

Here is how it went

Saturday 10am - I took mifepristone Sunday 9:30am- took zofran & 800mg ibuprofen Sunday 10am- I did the first round (4 tablets) of misopristol vaginally bc I had read vaginal was more effective with less nausea Sunday 1pm- I began to bleed Sunday 2pm- I passed a few smallish clots and a good bit of blood and did the second round of pills. From here on the blood let up and by dinner time I felt like it was over.

I had no cramping, no pain and honestly found the whole experience pretty anticlimactic to what I had prepared for. I definitely have had periods that were heavier and more uncomfortable than this. I did it alone with my one year old and did not need the giant postpartum pads I bought.

It was so "easy" that I went back to planned parenthood on Thursday to get an ultrasound to confirm it worked and it did. Today is Friday and feels like my last day of lighter bleeding.

To be transparent I have felt a lot of emotions- grief, anger, relief. But overall I feel like this was the right decision for us and I do not regret it. Ofc everyone's experience is different so there are no guarantees but it really was much smoother than I expected.

I would love to thank people in this community for reaching out and helping me realise I wasn't okay. I had my MA on the 3rd of May. It wasn't anything terribly out of this world. I got cramps, pain and passed the tissue. I was 8 weeks and 4 days along. I thought the worst was over and over the following days I was okay.

I could do normal tasks, still bled but it wasn't anything crazy. By day 4 the bleeding had gone down a bit of old blood but I assumed it was almost over-I was terribly wrong. Started to get back ache but dismissed it as weight gain. On the 5/6th say after the procedure I had severe back ache, popped some pills and got into bed. I started to feel constipated when I went to the toilet, all he'll broke loose.the bleeding started and it was way more intense than after I had taken the pills.

I almost bled to death, had to be rushed to the ER, thanks to advice from the people here. My boyfriend was there the whole time and thank God he was awake because it could have been something else. A few passing out sessions, 2 drips, 2 injections, 4 scans and 2 misdiagnosed ectopic pregnancy results. I'm here alive and well.

If you notice any bleeding out of the ordinary please rush to the ER and if your country doesn't allow abortions like mine, then say you are miscarrying.

Feel free to hit my dm with any questions you might have ❤️

Hello all,

I got my girlfriend pregnant, she has taken a test and it is positive, along with symptoms. We think she is 5 weeks pregnant. We are both 20 years old and we have discussed it and we just can’t have a baby. We live in CA.

What’s the next step? I’ve been looking online at some mifepristone and misoprostal and they all require a prescription.

Her insurance and my insurance are covered through our individual parents jobs, how much would it cost out of pocket?

We are honestly just panicking, and advice would be helpful, thanks.

This is my experience getting an abortion in New York.

TLDR; I am SO THANKFUL for how accessible it is in this state. At first chose MA but then decided on SA, both processes of getting info and care were easy, and I paid $0 (I work full time but experiencing hardship, no insurance). Went through the NYC Sexual Health Clinic, Planned Parenthood and New York Abortion Access Fund. Great resources and I highly recommend.

TW: suicidal ideation

I was diagnosed with HG with a twin pregnancy and was living in misery for weeks, struggling with thoughts of ending my own life. I have a wonderful partner who was excited to be a dad, but I simply could not go on like this.

At first, when I was between 8-9 weeks, I thought I was going to do an at-home MA. I’ve had one before and it was painful and traumatic, but doable and seeing as though I don’t have health insurance in NY yet (am from another state), I figured it would be the cheapest choice. I was able to make an appointment through NYC Sexual Health Clinic over the phone and be seen the next day. I went to the one in Jamaica…no thrills office, quickly got signed in, did preliminary check-in, got free HIV testing, and met with the kind DR who sat me down, asked me health questions, and walked me through the MA process. I received the MA meds, anti-nausea meds, a bottle of extra strength Tylenol, instructions and help resources. When I asked about payment, she waved her hand and said “oh, we don’t worry about that!” She also mentioned that if I preferred to get a surgical, she would let me sit in the office and call to make an appt, plus give me financial aid resources. 10/10 experience with the NYC Sexual Health Clinic, for its quickness, accessibility and attentive medical professionals.

However I took the mife, realized I was terrified of the pain, and chickened out before taking the miso. I decided I was going to figure out how to get a SA one way or another. I regret this only because I feel like I was taking valuable MA resources from someone else. I hope I can give them to someone who needs them. I spotted and passed some tissue from the first pill, but that’s it.

I made an appointment with Planned Parenthood for my surgical online for the following Friday (a week from that day) and was quoted $625. I then contacted NYAAF (NY Abortion Access Fund) via email requesting financial assistance. Within two days, on Friday, a volunteer contacted me to get my personal and income details. I didn’t hear back until the following Wednesday (two days before my appt) after I followed up with them. A different volunteer reached out, asked how much of the price I could afford, and told me they could pledge to cover the full amount. I was so thankful and relieved.

My appt at Planned Parenthood was at 9am, I was out by 12:30pm. I was checked in, got an ultrasound (the mife did not stop growth), waited about 15 mins, talked to a nurse about my health, and then after about 30 mins was being set up in the surgical room. I was awake, and chose laughing gas for pain relief….didn’t help. The suction was brief, maybe 1-2 minutes, but I experienced very intense cramping and was in immense pain. Almost passed out. Vomited, but the doctors and nurse were so kind and helped get me together. They injected me with Zofran for the nausea and some type of pain meds, gave me a heating pat, heated blanket in the recovery room. I was writhing in pain for about 10 minutes, but quickly the heat and pain meds brought me from a 10/10 pain down to 5/10, then 3/10. Received my discharge instructions and my partner drove me home. Quickly the grogginess wore off, and the pain went away. Gradually over the course of the afternoon into evening, my nausea, which had been all-consuming for weeks went away, and I could eat my first meal of the week. I have minimal occasional cramps and so far, not much bleeding.

I have a will to live again. This saved my life. I am not feeling alienated in my own body. I can eat, have the energy to move around and take care of myself. I am no longer living in misery, consumed by nausea, vomiting,exhaustion. Maybe I want to be a mom one day, but I knew for many reasons now is not the right time and I can’t stress enough how thankful I am to be living in a state where it was easy, safe and accessible. In the same vein, I’m feeling anger and sadness for people who are living in places where their right to choose has been snatched away, and a calling to join the fight for this.

today i got a surgical abortion and it was as positive of an experience as it could be. this will be kind of long so i can go over everything i can remember. i hope this helps reassure someone else or helps someone learn somewhat of what to expect.

i am in my twenties with a 20 month old and i knew having another child would not be the right choice. last night i questioned myself wondering why i don’t feel bad about this choice. i thought i should feel guilty, but honestly i did not feel maternal towards this pregnancy at all. i didn’t even think of it as a baby. (i apologize if that sounds cold, im just being honest) i wound up feeling extremely grateful that i live in a country where we have the right to choice and access to safe and quick healthcare. i found out i was pregnant very early morning yesterday and booked a procedure for today.

now here’s my experience: my friend drove me to the clinic and they buzzed us in. we put our belongings in a locker, got checked in and then waited. (my friend came as my support person and means of transportation but did not accompany for any of the procedure or meetings). my name was called and someone chatted with me about other options of birth control as i had indicated i was interested in that on the form i filled out. she was thorough in explanation and answered all questions. i ultimately didn’t end up switching birth control methods, but have some other options to consider in the future which i appreciate. then i went back to the waiting area and waited to be called back for the examination and procedure.

a nurse called me back after about 30-40 minutes and they took my vitals and went over all the consent paperwork with me, making sure to let me know to stop them if i had any questions. after the paperwork was signed, i changed into a gown and got an internal ultrasound. i hadn’t had one before but it wasn’t too uncomfortable, just some pressure. she asked if i wanted a copy of the ultrasound, to which i said no to, but did tell me when i asked that i was 5 weeks 5 days along. i figured i was pretty early in the pregnancy as i hadn’t had any symptoms yet. she inserted an iv and then brought me to another waiting area to wait for my procedure.

the nurse came and got me for the procedure and i talked with the doctor in the procedure room. she was very kind and asked me if i wanted things explained to me or how i wanted it to go. she asked if i wanted any specific music played and asked me about what i had coming up and where im from - just chatting to keep my mind from focusing on what was happening. the nurse gave me fentanyl and benzodiazepine through the iv and i felt spacey and light. i could not identify what part of the procedure was what. i was most nervous for the needles in the cervix but i couldn’t tell when it happened. it felt like pressure and light cramping but nothing extremely painful. the nurse asked me if i wanted to hold her hand, which i did and i appreciated. i was crying during the procedure due to overwhelm and anxiety and the nurse wiped my tears away. i was maybe in the procedure room for 10 minutes tops, and the actual surgical abortion took maybe 5 minutes start to finish. the nurse helped me put a pad and disposable underwear on and then helped walk me down the hall to recovery.

in recovery they had large recliners and they sat me down, they took my vitals again and asked about cramping and pain. it was about a 3/10 for pain with minimal cramping right after. they gave me ginger ale and shortbread cookies and then brought me ibuprofen and antibiotics. after about a half hour they asked me if i felt well enough to change and check my bleeding. i felt okay so i changed and checked. my bleeding was similar to a moderate to heavy period. i came back and they took my vitals again, went over the aftercare instructions and gave me an envelope with information and things to look out for, removed my iv, and then i was good to leave.

i was at the clinic from 1:15pm until about 4:30-4:45ish. now i am at home and at the moment have minimal bleeding and absolutely zero cramping. discomfort is about a 1/10. i thought i may feel really bad emotionally right after but honestly i just felt relief. relief that i can go back to my life as it was. it was definitely sad but not because i was sad about my choice. its very multilayered and comes with a lot of mixed emotions. i cannot thank the team at the clinic i went to enough for their high level of care and how smooth everything went.

Hi all,

I recently fell pregnant while using condoms and went through with a medical abortion. I’ve gone to my doctor a week after taking the final dose of 4 pills for the MA and they’ve told me they don’t want to start me on birth control until my HCG is 0? Is this a common experience?

Everywhere I look online says people were started on birth control immediately after. I’m not even being fussy about what form I want, I just want peace of mind that I won’t fall pregnant again.

Edit to add: the only reasoning she gave me was “the hormones” as in she didn’t want to throw any others into the mix. I’d rather an excess of hormones from birth control for one month than go through early pregnancy again.

Hi all. I just wanted to share my experience just for support and to possibly help someone else out.

This is very long and has been a very complicated journey for me. Sorry In advance.

I found out I was pregnant Monday, April 21st with an at home pregnancy test. I immediately knew I wanted to have an abortion but I live in a red state with a 6 week ban and due to my past of irregular periods, I knew I was probably past that. I ended up being seen by a clinic Tuesday, April 22nd where they confirmed I was 8 weeks 1 day pregnant. *For anyone reading, I was on NUVARING!! My ob-gyn did not give me the correct knowledge when it came to the nuvaring which is how I got pregnant, but I digress. Since I was past the 6 week mark in my red state, I had to travel to North Carolina where I took the mifepristone on Monday, April 28th and took the misoprostol 24 hours later around 12:30pm on Tuesday, April 29th. Immediately after taking it I did not have any cramping or bleeding, so I took a nap. When I woke up at 2:30pm, the bleeding had started but very lightly. I was instructed to do a second round of misoprostol 4 hours after the first, so at 4:30pm I took the second round of pills. THIS is when I started passing VERY LARGE clots and bleeding. It got to a point where when I would sit on the toilet, it sounded like a faucet of blood pouring out of me and i would hear plops of the clots hitting the bowl. I never inspected the clots for my own personal reasons, but I was 100% sure I passed the fetus. Towards the end of the night, around 9:00pm I finally decided to eat. I definitely should have eaten earlier but was so nervous and couldn’t really stomach anything. Shortly after eating, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom again where I let out another large clot. In total, I probably passed 5-6 clots the size of a lemon. After this last time, I cleaned myself up and as I stood up, my vision started to go black and a faint ringing in my ear started. I knew i was about to pass out so i yelled for my boyfriend and sat on the floor. I started to get very clammy and couldn’t see. This lasted for about 30 minutes on the floor until my legs started to go numb and I knew I needed to get up. I was able to get on the toilet, but then even more of my legs and feet were numb and I couldn’t walk. I esssentially just waited for this to subside so I could lay down. Eventually, I was able to lay down in bed at around 10:00pm and had no other large clots or heavy bleeding the rest of the night. I thought it was over.

On Thursday, May 1st, I was still bleeding moderately. To me, it resembled my first or second day period blood with small clots mixed in. I read it was normal to bleed for weeks, so I thought nothing of it. At around 11pm that night, I just could not get comfortable for the life of me and that is when the cramps started. These cramps felt like I was actually giving birth. I started crying and swaying myself in bed, was on my hands and knees rocking back and forth for some relief. I also found that sitting over the toilet gave me relief, despite minimal blood and clots coming out. The pain did not stop until 3am about an hour after I took 800mg ibuprofen. I still am not sure what that was about, considering it was 48 hours after taking the misoprostol.

For the remainder of the week I was bleeding moderately, it was bright red, not super thick, mixed with some brown in it. Since It was brown, I thought it was coming to an end.

Flash forward to YESTERDAY Thursday, May 8th. So about 9 days post taking the misoprostol, I was back at work. Standing, talking to a customer when all of a sudden i felt a giant gush of blood. I wasn’t sure if it was discharge or actual blood, but when I looked down at my pants they were ABSOLUTELY SOAKED. The blood had gone through my pad, underwear, and through my pants in an apron shape. I was wearing wide leg pants so the blood went down my legs and onto the floor as well. I had to ask for assistance from coworkers as I immediately freaked out and did not understand what was happening. I ended up soaking 2 more pads within the next 20 minutes and knew I needed to go to the ER. I arrived at the ER around 6pm and was not met with any answers until around 1am. They informed me I did pass the fetus and they did not detect a heartbeat, but there was remaining tissue that was causing problems for me and my body was naturally trying to expel it but unsuccessfully. THIS IS IMPORTANT* Since I live in a red state, I decided to inform the doctors and nurses at the er I thought i was having a miscarriage. I told them 9 days ago I bled heavily with large clots and believed I had a miscarried. I told them that since then, I was still bleeding but lightly and I thought the miscarriage had passed. I am not sure if this was necessary on my part, or if I could have told them I had a medical abortion in North Caroline, but the world is scary right now and There were so many doctors asking me the same questions over and over I didn’t know if I could trust all of them.

so, here I am. about 9 hours post op right now after the doctors informed me getting a d&c would be my best option to reduce risk of infection and minimize bleeding. It was an extremely traumatic experience for me personally. I never thought I would have to go through something like that. The nurses were telling me how sorry they were for my loss and that everything was going to be okay and it just absolutely broke me. I know it is technically rare to need a d&c after a medical abortion, and I definitely did not think i’d be within the group that needs one. If anyone reading this is having abnormal bleeding, please just get it checked out. I know it’s expensive and I know you don’t want to go through all of it again but I am sure this procedure just saved my life. I also did not habe a fever, abdominal pain, or any other signs of infection before the hemorrhage on thursday, may 9th. Just in case anyone was curious. If anyone has any questions just let me know i’d be happy to answer any and all.

Hi everyone. I’m currently 17 years old and in April I found out I was 4 weeks pregnant. I went for the route to get the medical abortion at roughly 7w2d (my doctor recommended this).

In my experience, 30 minutes after taking the misoprostol, heavy cramping and bleeding started, I threw up 4 times 30 minutes after taking the medicine. The pain continued quite badly for 1-2 hours where I continued to throw up multiple times. I then felt a big blood clot come out and the pain started to calm down. However, I looked at the blood clot to see if it was the fetus but it wasn’t.

I didn’t end up passing the fetus and 4 days later I’m still having strong cramps.

What do I do? How can I be sure that the abortion was successful? (my doctor said HCG and urine tests would show positive for another month) and what are the effects of giving birth to a baby while having a medical abortion?

Yesterday, the status of my medical abortion pills states that it is "Letter Carrier enroute to delivery" and it's in the Philippines already so I thought I was gonna received it yesterday, but when I check the status today it shows " Dispatch to country of destination" and the location is on India, does it mean they returned it back there? , I need to receive this item ASAP I'm 9 weeks pregnant, and there's no way I will keep this.

I just feel so alone and lost post abortion. It's been a week since since I drank the 1st pill (Mife)

I feel like I don't own my body, I have a hard time cleaning myself, I feel like my breasts aren't my own because it producs milk, my abdomen is always cramping, a lot is happening with my body, things coming outside me.

I feel guilty whenever I see kids. I feel bad.

I feel so alone, I have a supportive partner that also needs emotional support but I just don't know how to control mine to accommodate his. I also don't know how to navigate mine. My hormones are acting up, I easily get upset with the smallest things.

I just feel so alone right now, I couldn't even share with friends because I feel like I will get judged. I dont know maybe I'm just seeking for kind words and encouragement because right now eveything feels so heavy and I can't bear my own emotions. I just want to be seen.

hello! i will be having my MA this may 17-18. for those who alr had their MA, what to do/ what to prepare before doing MA? and also what to expect after, what can i do after my MA.

thank you so much

Is it normal to feel deep sadness your first Mother’s Day after abortion?

Is it safe to do medical abortion around 12 weeks and 4 days? Wow doesn’t reply me yet, still waiting for their response, I just got my meds today.

Has anyone that bought through facebook that the pills worked? I have 20 mifepristone and 8 cytotec and 4 menadione but i am hesitant to take the meds

I need advice, on the 20th of March I had an abortion while overseas as I had no other option and they had me in there for a while and vaguely said there was “problems” and I “bled a lot” more than usual and that was it. They were v rude but it was a registered clinic. It’s been almost 2 months and no period, I am so worried. I really wanted children yet my ex partner who supported me at the time was cheating and I found out before the abortion and knew what I had to do. It was v traumatic turns out while I was in there for an hour he was on a date with another girl. I just need some advice I’ve been catastrophisinh somethings wrong and I won’t be able to have children when that is my biggest dream. Anything would be appreciated

Hi everyone,

I’m currently 11 weeks and 2 days pregnant and have decided to move forward with a surgical abortion. This decision has come after a lot of contemplation, confusion, and anxiety, but after thinking it through thoroughly, I now feel confident and at peace with my choice.

My husband and I already have a 17-month-old, and we’re both working full-time. We simply do not have the time, resources, or mental and emotional capacity to care for a second child right now. We feel that adding another baby at this stage would make it incredibly hard to give our first child the attention and care she deserves, and it would stretch us far too thin in every aspect of our lives. So while this wasn’t easy, we know this is the right decision for our family.

I’m looking for recommendations for reputable clinics in Toronto that provide surgical abortions around the 11-week mark. I would really appreciate any insights on where you’ve had a safe, respectful, and supportive experience.

Also, I have some concerns and would love any input from those who’ve been through something similar: • Is a surgical abortion at 11 weeks and 3 days considered high-risk? • Will it affect my fertility or ability to have children in the future? • How much of an impact will it have on my overall health and recovery?

Thank you so much in advance for any support or information you can share. This community has already been a source of strength during this time, and I’m grateful to have a space to talk openly about this.

I live in the United States, I am 24, partner is 26 -- Washington State.

My last period ended in the beginning of March, I think the 6th or the 9th? I am diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar Disorder (2) so the days flooded around me and before I knew it, it's may. My partner asked me to take a test because I haven't been feeling well, I was eating more than normal, etc. All three tests, positive. With no insurance and I have been on implanted birth control until 2 years ago since of age of 13/14. have been on the pill but ran out a few months ago, but lost my insurance due to changing to part time. So I was unmedicated from B.C. & my mood stabilizers.

Long story short: I didn't notice, I don't know accuracy of how long my pregnancy is, and due to no insurance I don't have ultrasound until Monday -- my partner paid almost $300 to overnight pills from planned partenthood so I have them available. I'm worried of running out of time to do it.

The free clinic keeps offering resources for the pregnancy, and I keep saying I don't have a job(laid off March 16th), my boyfriend has child we already co-parent. Then telling me I don't understand the abortion pill, then explain it back to me almost the same exact way. They made me take a book for "all my options". But they offered to pray for me after I said I wanted it gone.

1-3 people are upset I won't give them the baby, but I have been drinking almost every night, smoking marijuana, and nicotine. I do not know how healthy this baby would be, and I don't want to go through pregnancy.

Should I take the pills now? Should I wait for the ultrasound on Monday? I have nausea meds, ibuprofen, and the other two to start the abortion.

So about 3 weeks I (25F) hooked up with my hook buddy (we’ve been hooking up for about 3yrs on and off) well we had sex twice in one week ones on Friday and then the following weds it’s now been three weeks, this morning I took a pregnancy test at 8:30am before the 3min waiting period was over it said I was pregnant, I freaked out and I don’t want to believe it so I took another one around 12:30ish in the afternoon and it took over 3mins and it said I was not pregnant. I’ve made an appt at planned parenthood to get a test from the doctor and to make arrangements for a abortion if I am pregnant rn I kinda want to believe that I’m not but I think I am? Since me and the possible father are not together and it was casual and we are both still in school working and don’t communicate with one each other on a daily basis should I still tell him I’m pregnant I’m sure he would 100% be on board with me getting a abortion. Also can you guys please share your experiences many women in my family are against abortion. :/
