please don't kill your baby. Give it to me!

I have had 1 abortion by pill, and 2 surgical. Surgical is painless because you can be put to sleep. If not , then it will be very crampy, but it is overwith in 3-5 minutes. The abortion by pill for me was painful, ad I personally reccomend surgical. Abortion by pill takes a few days to complete, while surgical is done and over with.

i really prefer the surgical method, but i'm only 5 weeks in since my last period, and 6 since conception, and I don't think that's late enough for it.


I keep hearing all these pill horror stories, and it is freaking me out! =(

but I don't think I can bear being pregnant any longer than I have to... And just letting the zygote develop more so I can then abort it seems even more than just initially aborting it as soon as possible.

Many clinics will abort at 4 weeks, some at 3 weeks. Ccheck out that website and find out if a clinic nearby will do it early :)

Carifairy excuse me for being nosy but why you had 3 abortions? Was all 3 iud failures?

I became pregnant on an iud yes, it is very rare, and it had actually displaced without my knowledge. I do trust the iud, but it can displace. I had another one inserted on dec 15, paragard. My old iud mirena displaced, and I actually was going to have it removed because of the hormonal problems it caused me. I cannot use hormonal birth control, I suffer from severe depression. When I am on b.C. My mood swings, and I need so much more meds that the side effects are horrible. I got pregnant on the pill once, iud once, and I was using fertility awareness for awhile. My man and I were drinking a little on new years, and I forgot to use protection. I ovulated the next day, so I knew to use a sponge. I did not.

i'm thinking of getting an iud put in because I have the same problems with birth control--but did you say above that it also has hormoes? I thought an iud was not hormonal at all? Would you recommend it to me if I have severe problems with birth control due to mood swings/depression when i'm on it?

Paragard is non hormonal yay!!! Loving it!

Just remember to be careful because you could get pregnant on an iud as well. It is just like any other b/c, and 2 of my friends have become pregnant .. Good luck to you in whatever you decide

if you are 22 as your screen name suggests, best of luck in finding a doctor who will put in an .I.U.D for you. All of the doctor's that I have seen have refused because I am relatively young and have not had any children. Since an .I.U.D is supposed to be long term birth control, many doctor's will not insert one for a woman who is young or has not had any children. The only exception that I have actually seen is a woman who had so many health problems that a pregnancy would kill her (probably before she ever found out she was pregnant).

As cari said, an .I.U.D can displace. Our clinic director had an abortion because her .I.U.D displaced. In fact, the fetus started developing around the .I.U.D and became more of a tumor than a fetus by the time she could obtain the abortion.

Planned parenthood will do iuds..
I had my first one at 21..

I had my iud done at 20 years old and it made me cramp, a year later I had to get an abortion due to the iud being in the fetus' head, the dr said it would not make it long anyway. All b/c has it's ups and downs and we are all different it is just what you are happy with, has anyone heard of that new b/c ring that is out? We will still have sex and their will still be abortion legal or not.
I would go for the surgical abortion.

Only the older iuds caused uterine problems.Iud's nowadays are flexible.

I think the iud is so unnatural.

Carifairy, no offense, but do you realize that in your 3rd abortion you were completely irresponsible? I myself have been guilty of that 6 million times, but it should not have been taken out on an innocent baby.

I'm sorry that you have severe depression. I am surprised that the abortions, especially 3 (!!), do not worsen it. Just seems people with depression would not be able to handle such an altering life event.

??

My mom is bi polar.. It is genetic, I have taken meds since I was 12, I am perfectly stable, I just happen to not want a baby. Having an abortion never made me depressed, being born with a chemical imbalance did. I have not been depressed for many many years, but I still technically suffer from depression... It's a lifelong diagnoses. I am great though, I am glad that society does not stigmatize medication as much as it used to.

Tomorrow I am having a non surgical abortion and i'm alittle worried to but its more practical for me since I live 2 hrs from the clinic and I dont have anyone to drive me to and from if I have a medical one, since they recommend that since you are "put under." I guess I just wanted to say good luck on your visit to the clinic and whatever you decide, as long as it's your decision it'll be the right one.
Good luck

you mean innocent fetus???

Btw it is a support forum were not here to bash people who have abortion!

this thread is really old - if you look at the date at the top of the first post it is dec 2005 or something like that so either the original poster has a baby now or, more likely, had her abortion a long time ago.

Just letting you know in case you wondered why she didn't respond

Oh thank you.
