Medical Or Surgical Procedure ?!?!!?! Posted: 04-25-06 06:12am
Hey there everyone ! I just found out
that I am 6wks pregnant. I am 22 married
& right now my husband is at boot
camp. I plan to have an abortion because
right now we are not ready in all aspects.
I was seriously considering a medical
abortion @ my local clinic with
mifeprex/mifepristone & made the appt
for this friday. I'm very confused, my
clinic said that most women do the
surgery. I have done some research with
the pill & not really liking what i'm
hearing- (very heavy bleeding & severe
abdominal pain for anywhere from 2wks to a
month) & it takes longer to work.Now I
cannot firmly decide btwn medical &
surgical procedures. I'd like to hear
your experiences with both.
Thanks!

from what i've learned, the surgical
abortion is far quicker, and the pain
doesn't last as long at all. Some women
preferr the medical as opposed to the
surgical because they feel more closure,
seeing themselves bleed and going through
that pain and process. They feel that
falling asleep pregnant and waking up not
pregnant left them a little lost; however
the advantage is that it is much quicker
than the medicinal route.

Alhtough medical abortion is more private,
it is more painful and takes longer..
With surgical abortion you can have good
drugs and be put to sleep so you feel no
pain at all..And the aboriton is over with
in 3-5 minutes...
I have had one medical when I was 18..
Hated it.. 2 surgicals after.... Much
better.. No pain, very light bleeding..

Definitely the surgical, one of mine
started out to be just a m/c then a
medical after 31 hours in labor they sped
the process up and this was years ago and
I was given a light sedative because I
chose to be awake, iknow that it might
sound sick to you, bou I had my reasons.
The second time is when they weregiven
saline solutions and you are awake for
them. I feel that you females are
fortunate having surgical abortions so
that you do not remember anything during
the surgery that is. Thank gooddness
their is a choice!
The best to all!

Thanks for your quick responses.. Like
how painful is the surgical? I'm honestly
leaning more towards that. Do u have to
have someone drive you home?
