If you're using protection correctly then it's unlikely (not impossible) that she's pregnant but I would try not to worry about abortions etc until you know for sure whether or not she is pregnant.

If she is late for her period then take a test. Stress can affect the cycle so missing a period isn't an automatic sign of pregnancy but the only way to know/put your mind at ease is by getting her to test. If it's negative and she still doesn't get her period then test again after a few days. It may well get her down but taking a test isn't going to change the reality of the situation (whether she is or isn't pregnant) and you could well be worrying uneccessarily.

As for abortions I am in the UK (and have had a surgical abortion). If you're wanting to go privately (as I did) for an abortion then the cost will depend on the clinic you use (BPAS or Marie Stopes are the main ones) and the gestation of the pregnancy. It's around £60 for the consulation and about £600 for a surgical abortion in the first trimester. I imagine that medical abortions are a similar price but you would have to check with the provider.

However, abortion is available on the NHS if you were unable to fund it privately . To access this she would need to have her GP confirm the pregnancy and be referred from there to a hospital or clinic.

My abortion was under general anaesthetic so the procedure didn't hurt, although it was uncomfortable following.

Try not to worry though, exlplain to her it's unlikely but that you do need to know/she does need to test.

Best of luck

I'm concerned that i hear you talking about abortion but how does your gf feel about this it is her body that is going to be invaded for the second time.This is also a part of you that if you let nature do what it's supposed to do may produce a son or daughter that you could be really proud of, a life that would be the apple of your ,or your gf's eye. Yes it's a shock to the system that you get a knot on everything that is a part of you but this is the only chance that this life will get to succeed. There are a lot of people out there who would give anything to have a child,maybe adoption would be a better option, it would save you both on the guilt that you will feel later on when you don't have the choice to save them! whether you believe this foetus is a life or not , the truth of the matter is it became a "life" the moment it began dividing & multiplying, if it's there it's growing right now 24/7 & continuiously until either birth or someone terminates its attachment from the utterus of its mother & then it dies a slow death untill it is unable to sustain it's self alone. please think carefully this may change your life & the wrong decision could be detramental to you both in future relations.
My Prayer for you is for wisdom from God to guide you with your decisions to concider, not only your current situation but who, what & how this affects you both & who you are, in The Name of our saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
This post is not about God or religion, it's about you not having regrets & feeling guilt when it's too late to change the out come!
Good Luck God Bless you All!

no im 16 and so is she and neither of us want kids

If you both do not watn children, might I suggest that EVERYTIME you have sex, you BOTH do EVERYTHING possible - (Birth Control pills, the depo shot, whatever), condoms & spermicide...WHATEVER it takes to ensure you will NOT become pregnant. Then and only then can you say, we ALWAYS use protection. Condoms alone....thats a JOKE.

Maybe it's a case of if you don't want to cook don't play inthe kitchen! but now if somethings cooking it's time to make sure it comes out right!

Ok, the guy just asked for some advice, he didn't ask about the morality of abortion. If you want to discuss that then there is an abortion debate forum here. He isn't even sure his gf is pregnant (since he has been careful and had PROTECTED sex) so give him a break!

To the OP - I hope that you can get this resolved soon

Go back & read all the posts & stop being so selfrighteous.

lol

I've read his post, I've read the pro-life bs in the other posts on this thread that didn't answer the OP's questions. Nothing self-righteous in answering a question honestly.

I think the problem is that he seems to be speaking for his girlfriend even though there doesn't seem to be any indication that SHE is sure she really wants an abortion. Where in his post did it say that SHE wanted to have an abortion if she were to be pregnant?

As I read it he was asking for general information about abortion, should that become an option. He doesn't even know if she's pregnant, it was a post asking for information. And yes, if she were to be pregnant, it would ultimately be her decision and hers alone but I don't see the harm in answering the questions he asked. If "timeisshort" has stopped after his first sentence I would not have felt the need to reply further. It was the statements following that which I took issue with on a post where someone was asking for information/personal experiences.

ok to settle this, NEITHER of us want kids she wud prefer to get rid of it but doesnt know what would be the best option

is there someone knows the effectiveness of CORTAL tablets?. is it really effective for birth control or to abort baby?

I had sex with my ex boyfriend while we were dating and he got me pregnant. I didn't know what to do so last Thursday I went and got an abortion. Of course I wasn't ready to have a baby, but you have no idea how guilty I feel about it. I miss my baby and I wish I could go back in time to stop myself. I never thought I would feel so upset until they had just finished. I killed my baby.. And I miss him or her so much. I cry every night. Some people can do it with no problem, but obviously not me. If she thinks she can deal with it, then I say go ahead and make a life for yourselves. But there are many people that can't handle it like myself.. Just think about it and have a long talk. And if she does want to abort, then make sure that it is done before twelve weeks. That is the best time to get it done with less problems.

Sorry so long.

Good luck.
