You sound "pro choice" up to a certain
limit. Lol. People choose pro choice
methods like abortion and "keep doing" it
because they don't want to remain
pregnant. Is that so hard to comprehend?!
I don't think using abortion as a method
of birth control is wise considering all
that you have to go through but it's not
my job (or yours) to determine when
someone should have one. My birth control
failed. I learned abstinence is the sole
way to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. I
(like you) was ignorant to the fact that
birth control does fail. I never thought
I'd be in that 1% that does fail. But
guess what, it did. As I stated in my
other post, hope it doesn't happen to you.
Actually that's a lie, I hope it does.
Then maybe you'll be a little less
judgmental.

I cannot use hormonal BC, so I used lesser

Surgical abortion was PAINLESS thanks to
IV sedation, and very easy.
SHE stated that abortion by pill was
horrible, and that surgical abortion was
easier.
I am a womans health RN, I work in an
abortion clinic pt. You wrongly assume
that she was not using contraception, she
could have been using a lesser effective
barrier method.
Not all women can use hormonal BC, and I
see women that become pregnant despite
having a tubal
ligation. |
Thank you! You obviously use that side of
your brain that involves common sense
reasoning. Lol.

No offense, but condoms break, and even

Thanks Carifairy. I thought condoms were
99% effective. I was thinking of birth
control pills I guess. So, I fall into
the 5% it didn't work for. I took care of
my problem and I have no regrets AT All!!!
I'm thoroughly relieved to say the
least.
Everyone has individual circumstances.
We're so super quick to judge until we're
in a compromising situation. I can't
discuss my particular details but lets
just say, it would not be in my best
interest to remain pregnant for
soooooooooo many reasons. But, that
doesn't matter. It's my choice, no one
else's.

MANY women use condoms, and IF they happen
to accidentally become pregnant they would
have an abortion.
Many women choose to not use BC pills,
IUD, etc.. That is your personal choice.

I have friends who have gotten pregnant
using the Today Sponge, having a condom
break, using the rhythm method, and the
withdrawal method. (I realize the last two
aren't effective "methods".) Also, I've
met several girls here who have gotten
pregnant while on hormonal bc.

I also have friends who got pregnant while
on birth control. I noticed the person
who made that ridiculous comment hasn't
been back or just hasn't responded after
she realized how her assuming her
comment/question to me was or both. Lol.

Hopefully it works!!
Condoms, sponges etc, are great, although
they are not as effective as hormonal
methods.. Not all women can use hormones,
and I am glad that abortion is available
as a back-up just in case our BC fails.

I got pregnant using a condom AND my
boyfriend has a low sperm count due to
varicolcele. The doctors have told him
for many years that he would need surgery
to fix the problem before being able to
have children. Guess they were wrong.

Girl, I'm so so sorry that you're going
through this. I can't even imagine going
thru all of this to find you're still
pregnant. I hope everything works out.

Goingthruit- IF you are already bleeding
it is good!
ONE thing to know. Technically surgical
abortion is safer than medical abortion. I
know 'surgery' sounds bad, but they do not
cut you or anything. Surgical abortion
takes 3-5 minutes.
I know that most clinics give you good
drugs through an IV which makes it
painless.
IF this does not work, surgical is not
that bad, and you KNOW it is done!!

Just over 30 years old and found out I am
pregnant today so I called and made an
appointment for the medicinal abortion.
Thankfully it's only 5 weeks so I'm hoping
this will be a quick thing. To be sure
the posts I have been reading have me
concerned, but nothing is easy nowadays so
we'll see.
The only thing is going to be waiting the
week until my appointment. I guess it is
a popular enough procedure they are
booked.

Surgical abortion with IV sedation is the
'easiest' and painless way to go..If you
want to know the truth.
Surgical abortion takes 3-5 minutes, so it
is quick and you know it is done.

I would wager a guess that yes, this is
it. Carifairy can probably tell you
whether or not to take the tablets. My
guess is that this sounds like a
successful abortion.
