hey dont worry aye i was rape by my boyfrind at the age of thirteen and became pregenet and had gone thoguht a abortion at this age it all easy proceedre thats only 5mins long but youll be asleep for 15 mins and wake up. abortion is 10 times safer than giving birth youll only get camps on the night you come home and should rest and relax. you shoul;d think about it first though because it not really good for the body. but nothing bad has ever happened in a abortion

hey there,
just to let you know i believe doing everthing you could possible to prevent a pregnancy is VERY responsible but seeing as how it happend to you obviously your fertile mertile! Anywho, Seeing as your not usuing abortion as a type of birth control i would say do what you feel. if ur not ready your not ready. thats all there is to it. But do it as soon as possible because at some point youll be able to here that heartbeat and see its bloodflow and it will be too hard for you to carry out. If your bf is really the one for you he will stick by your side regardless if he doesnt understand what you decide to do hes not worth crying over. Sadly many men are like that. Well ive said my peace and my prayers are with you!

p.s. im not very religious and i ...

A lot of women choose surgical over medical because a surgical abortion lasts one day, once you go home, it's over with. But with medical, you have to go home and wait for the fetus to pass. That bothers some women, which is understandable.

Obviously, you can't control how your boyfriend feels. Right now, he just might be scared and feeling kind of cut off from this whole situation because he's a male and has no real control over things and can't know what it's like from your perspective. However, it isn't really fair of him to view *you* negatively for your choice, as he was in this with you and had a hand in getting you pregnant. You have only been with him for six months, so you really shouldn't let him affect your decision. If you decided against it because of his "negative" view of you and then later you two broke up, you'd be raising that child still.

Good luck, I am sure everything is going to be fine with your procedure.

Hey everyone. Sorry for not getting back sooner. Today was the day. Well my appointment was scheduled at 945am... got there at 9am and didnt get out until around 4pm. I'm okay... not really cramping too badly. There were a few painful moments during the procedure but i would really more call them incredibly uncomfortable. My boyfriend was with me the whole time except during the actual procedure. The past few days he's been feeling depressed and i asked him a couple of days ago if he possibly would want to take a break to re-evaluate some things. Within 25 minutes after the procedure was done he told me he would like to do the break for a week. He told me he wanted to tell me that before but thought it might be insensitive. I'd rather not get into a lot of the details right now (Im tired obviously... been up since 7am and it was just a trying day. But i will post possibly later tonight or tomorrow. I guess its pretty easy to feel alone right now. In my opinion he wasnt terribly supportive... The timing with the pregnancy really puts things into perspective. Im going to just use this next week as my own fun... hangout with friends and relax. Im a bit bummed that im not allowed to exercise since thats definitely a steam off thing for me. By the way... i did find out officially how far along i was today... 10 1/2 weeks...and saw the ultrasound. So it does look like i conceived within a week or two of my changing the pills. What rotten luck...im going to start back on sunday to the original pill so that should be good. Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone!

I would have to agree with you there. It's nice that he was honest when he said he did not know if his feelings would change, but seriously, what a jerk. He wanted you to get an abortion, and it sounds like he would have done the same thing if he were the pregnant one in the relationship, so I don't know what his problem is.

Ah, I guess I should not say anything bad about him, it's probably a very emotional thing for him too. Even when people want an abortion, it can still be very emotional whether they are the male or the female.

That's good that you're feeling decent today. How long before you can start exercising again?

I sympathise with your boyfriend but the choice ultimately lies with you. If you are absolutely 100% sure that you do not want this baby and you won't consider adoption then abortion is the only other option.

Be prepared for your boyfriend to throw this back in your face at a later date though. He is powerless and he may well feel resentful. That's not meant to make you change your mind or anything btw, I'm just going on a gut feeling that he isn't going to be able to accept the abortion of his 'child' in the same way you are.

I really really hope that everything works out for the best for you and wish you the best of luck.


i was thinking the same thing purestgreen. He would throw it back at her face later, when he gets angry at her for something.

it's very common that of pregnancies when switching pills. I too switched to a low dose pill and didn't use condoms but nothing happened. I think the pills work better when you use them but you are not scared of accidental pregnancy hehe
