Well I just got back from my check up. I
did a medical abortion last week and the
clinic I go to wants to see you in a week
so I was in today.
I had high hopes that all went went. I had
the bleeding, cramping, passing clots and
everything! I wanted to blow off the check
up because I felt fine but with a medical
abortion how would I really know if it was
successful without an ultrasound.
The wait was so long today at the clinic
that I almost went home. Another woman was
there for her follow-up and we talked each
other into staying. We both had to wait
about 4 hours to get seen! Anyway, it was
a good thing we both stayed because the
medical abortion had failed for both of
us.
I was devastated. The doctor told me he
could do the surgical or give me more
pills. However, there were no guarantees
that the pills would work again and I
would be right where I started.
I chose to have the surgical because I
just could not endure anymore more of
this. I am sitting in bed now and I feel
fine. I should have chosen the surgical in
the first place.

I am sorry that it failed!
You can have the bleeding and cramping,
and it can still fail..Sucks..I know.
I am glad you stayed for your follow up
though, that way at least you know.

I was only about 3-4 weeks. I did not read
this forum before making the decision. I
would have done the surgical if I had
known. I cost myself more time, agony, and
money because I chose medical.
More time because of the extra visit, more
money because the medical is $625 while
the surigical was $440, and agony because
I still had intense pain with the medical
and intense pain during the surgical
procedure. I drove myself so I could not
be IV sedated.
I am happy now that it is all over. If I
chose to do the pills again when they
found the medical failed, I would have had
to go to the clinic again today to see if
it worked!
What an unpleasant experience! I told
myself I was being punished for being
careless and ending up pregnant.

I see, my friend had Surgical abortion
last year and she almost fainted after
they got done... so I thought to myself
that medical would feel more like a "heavy
period", it wasn't really bad for me since
I knocked myself out with Vicodine, so I
really didn't feel much because I was
asleep for two hours. The part that really
frustrates me is that i don't know if it's
completed, or not... I have to wait two
weeks for my next check up Next week is spring
break for me, i really don't want to go
anywhere unless I know I'm okay, and safe!
yeah I feel the same way about being
punished for being careless, because i
thought i wouldn't get pregnant since my
fiance was only back for two weeks from
iraq

Maggiesun-
MOST BETTER clinics IV sedate women, so
the procedure is PAINLESS.
Abortion with IV sedation is usually even
cheaper than medical abortion.
Your friend was likely not "OUT" for the
procedure, which is actually more commonly
done.

I'm so sorry to hear what you have been
going through. I had a surgical abortion 6
years ago that went very well. I hope that
you undestand that you are not being
punished for anything, sometimes things
work for some and not others. My thoughts
are with you.

I know exactly how you feel! I only had
to wait one week for my checkup and I
thought about whether it worked or not
all the time. It keep telling myself it
must of worked because everything happened
the way everyone said it would.
All you can do is take it easy during
spring break. The clinic said 5-8 out of
100 do not work. I hope you are in the
92-95.
Come back and let us know how everything
went after the check up.

Whatever they call it Posted: 03-10-08 22:36pm
when, no matter what, you are married,
have insurance, and it comes down to it
being YOUR PROBLEM that you are bleeding
whilst you are pregnant. Your doctor can
just give you the ultimatum, "You stop
that bleeding girl, or we are going to
have to take that baby." And, you are
still young. You have lots of time to get
to know your husband, more time to have
children. I could scream about that one!
When you are young, what do you know? It
was our first child together, and we
loved each other. The doctor turned out
to be a jerk. Later on, he divorced his
wife with five children for his nurse.
Honestly tried to put the hit on me, a
young woman. Now, honestly, when I asked
him about our baby, he said he couldn't
rememer if it was a boy or a girl.
Please.
