Hi lauren =) you sound so mature for a 16 year old! You have wonderful writing =)

i not only have had an abortion, but I work part time for an abortion provider.

I am sorry you became pregnant while on birth control, but it does happen and it is nothing to be ashamed of.
The easiest way to have an abortion is to be put to sleep with an anesthetic, or have other iv sedations.An abortion only takes 3-5 minutes at 6-10 weeks, so it is most certainly very short.

I was not totally asleep for my abortion, but I was under an iv sedation which took all the pain away for me.

Can't you get the abortion done on the nhs?

Ah, just read your other post. I guess you are paying because the waiting time on nhs is too long.

I found these prices

Hi, just wanted to say ive just recently had an abortion with the bpas and I got it on the nhs. I saw the doctor on the monday, had my consulation at the clinic on the friday, then went back on wednesday for the first part of the treatment and then on friday for the second part of the treatment. I was quite lucky as there didnt appear to be much of a waiting list. Id advise that you see your doctor and see if you can get one through the nhs, it is so much money to pay, especially for such a young age, im 23.

I got told that by the doctor no offence but will u read properly

wow - for someone asking for help you sure have got an attitude!
