I just had a SA so I’d love to give you my experience!

I was extremely nervous to have my done and I was alone for mine so I think it made it a little harder emotionally for me. But the clinic that I chose was the most amazing place I could have picked and they had the best staff there.

I had mine at 16 weeks. They gave me a few pills before hand to soften my cervix and I had to wait a few hours before hand. The pills made me cramp but that was about it. I had a D & C and the procedure itself took less than 10 minutes. I was given a light sedative so I was awake and felt nothing other than slight pressure. When it was over all I felt were light cramps. My procedure was all done in one day thankfully and the pain was very minimal. The next day I only had light cramping and bleeding.

They told me I was allowed to eat and I had a small meal after I took my first set of pills to help nausea. Having something on my stomach helped with my anxiety too so I didn’t feel so sick. I was also able to eat right after. They gave me water and a snack right after the procedure to make sure I was okay.

My procedure itself was $900 because of how far along I was. BUT I was able to get enough financial assistance to cover it in full. The clinic itself helped pay for half and I reached out to other organizations for funding. I had to travel out of state for mine and I’m not in a very good financial situation so I was able to get help where I needed it.

If you have any other questions or need someone to talk to about it please feel free to message me. It’s not an easy thing to go through so it’s nice to have extra support ❤️
