abortion vs adoption

You should really discuss the pros and cons of abortion on the Abortion Debate forum. This is a pregnancy support forum, and this post is inappropriate here.

Um, I'm pretty sure the whole point of the post was to show that the abortion pictures are FAKE. Nice try, though.

Subject: Was I pregnant with twins?

Question
I took the abortion pill and was sure I passed out the fetus (I saw a clot and some brownish soft material along the center). I passed it out while urinating. 7 days passed and I was still bleeding(it was mostly brown...like old blood), it wasn't much to begin with but it was enough to make me worry. I went to my doctor on the 7th day and she did an ultrasound, she said the whole pregnancy was intact and I had to do a D&C. I don't understand. Was I wrong? Was it not the fetus? Or was I pregnant with twins...is that possible?

Answer
Dear confused,
It is highly unlikely that you saw a fetus. At the stage of pregnancy when you take the abortion pill, there is no fetus visible to the naked eye. Under nine weeks, the early pregnancy consists of a gestational sac that looks like a fluffy cotton-like substance. It sounds like you identified decidua - the thick pregnancy lining that comes out with the gestational sac. You may want to learn more about stages of early pregnacy on my website: earlyabortion.com. Many women have misconceptions of early pregnancy tissue given the misinformation that is on the internet.
I hope this is helpful,

i certainly hope they are fake. i know the gestational age didnt match up to the size that i had read about in my pregnancy books and what not, i assumed that they are of late abortions, i think they can do it in the US up to week 20 or somthing. horrible.
