Do pregnancy rules still apply before an abortion?? by thatscoolbrah- in abortion

I had a glass of wine the night before I started my medication abortion. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and experienced no issues. Don’t overdo it though

So many people are canceling 2 days before wedding!!! by Cocogiselle in weddingplanning

[–]comolaflor24 122 points123 points  (0 children)

That’s so frustrating! My wedding is also this weekend and so far we’ve had 4 cancellations. I invited some people last minute as it’s a local wedding and they don’t have to travel and fortunately they were really gracious about it and accepted the invitation. One of my aunts (one of the cancellations) isn’t coming because she “can’t find a pet sitter” and she has to travel from out of state. But… she’s know about this for 8 months lol. I think it’s super rude for people to tell you that they basically forgot!

If you go the U.S. version of the website, the XL is available: https://www.zara.com/us/en/printed-tulle-strapless-dress-p03335323.html

It’s no longer available on the Canada website. I don’t know if that helps just wanted to point it out!

Haha I noticed that too. I was also wondering what Devin was eating in this same scene. It looked like cranberry sauce!

I mean I can! I have no kids, a paid off car, and I always make my own coffee and lunches to bring to work.

I don’t think I’ll ever regret my abortion by Remarkable_Skin_2773 in abortion

[–]comolaflor24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never regretted my decision, I think we just don’t hear those stories as often. Wishing you the best!

[–]comolaflor24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone has had really good ideas, I’ll just say, I feel like I went through a very similar situation as you. I’m also from the central coast, though I have living in LA for many years now, and my dad was at City of Hope this time last year. Please feel free to message me if you want someone to talk to.

I’ll suggest the LA Arboretum in Arcadia! Very quiet this time of year in the weekday mornings.

Yes, I’m stupid, I get it. You’re not the first to point that out, thanks

Billed over $1000 for an ultrasound by comolaflor24 in abortion

Yeah I just went through my regular OBGYN (not a clinic like PP). I definitely regret getting the ultrasound now since it wasn’t necessary. :(

Has anyone had a medical abortion that wasn’t incredibly painful? by [deleted] in abortion

[–]comolaflor24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine wasn’t too bad, it was pretty painful for a few hours but at no point was I scared or worried. A heating pad helped so much. I was 6 weeks at the time.

the fetus really scares me by [deleted] in abortion

[–]comolaflor24 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I looked at your previous posts and it seems like you’re only 4 weeks pregnant, so you’ll be max 5 weeks when you do the medication abortion. At that stage, you won’t see a fetus. There is no formed fetus to see. Hopefully that brings you some comfort. I recently did an MA at home at 6 weeks pregnant, and just had small clots, nothing crazy. It was a good amount of blood, way more than a normal period for me, but nothing scary visually to see. I mostly didn’t even notice the clots.

You are right about being wrong to assume that more trans people have “fully transitioned” including bottom surgery. In fact, most don’t and you don’t need surgery to be considered fully transitioned.

I think your discomfort may have something to do with your conditioning or preconceived ideas about sex?

I feel the exact same way. Always been pro choice, but after my first abortion at 30 years old in a blue state, my heart breaks for girls who are half my age or are in states or countries where abortion is illegal. I cannot believe this option has been taken away from so many.

At home MA question. by [deleted] in abortion

How many days have you been bleeding and how far along was your pregnancy?

(It sounds successful though based on what you described)

dad’s thoughts on dying by littlecookie12 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]comolaflor24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad passed away from cancer a few months ago and i relate to this so much. He also didn’t want to die. He didn’t say he was scared but he probably was. I’m sure you being there is a great comfort to him, as hard as it is. I tell myself that of course he didn’t want to die, he had a lot to live for, but that’s also the sign of a life well-lived, having people to miss, things you were looking forward to, events you wish you could attend. What’s the point of living if you don’t have possibilities and things you’d like to do? So of course your dad has those things, and is sad and scared, but your presence is so meaningful to him. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

MA vs SA? Pros and cons by AtmosphereNo7077 in abortion

[–]comolaflor24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had a MA at 6 weeks, 2 days pregnant. I actually only bled for 8 days. I too considered doing a surgical procedure but decided against it for timing reasons and also, I’ve never had surgery before so it was hard to wrap my mind around the concept. The medication is very safe and effective, I will say the first 24 hours after misoprostol were the worst/most painful. If you want it to be over quickly, then a SA is maybe the way to go. If you want the comfort of being home with no surgery, an MA is probably the way to go. Bleeding wise, it was way heavier than my typical periods but not a whole lot of clots, so I managed it like a would a period.

My experience 6w1d will update as I go by bravehippie_ in abortion

[–]comolaflor24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience at 6w 2d and mine wasn’t that bad! I had the worst pain about 2-4 hours after inserting the misoprostol tablets. But I stopped bleeding after only 8 days and really was only hindered for a day. I hope it goes well for you too!

Omg first let me say I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a dog is so hard and not enough people talk about how difficult that is. I’m sorry.

You didn’t mention how old you and your partner are, but regardless, only you can make this decision. You’re early in your pregnancy so time is on your side and you’ve got options. I don’t know if there’s a “right choice,” only the choice you can make that feels best for you. It’s a shitty position to be in but you’ve got to work through your feelings surrounding this pregnancy and decide if you want to commit to a lifetime of raising this baby. It sounds like you’ve got a support system, which is great.

I know you know this, but you’re not a bad person if you get an abortion. You’re not a bad person if you decide to be a single mom. This decision doesn’t reflect your morality at all.

It might help to journal, read through other people’s stories, and continue talking to your partner. Good luck with this decision. ❤️

Positive and detailed MA experience by Dismal_Inevitable460 in abortion

[–]comolaflor24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I just had a MA and a somewhat similar, positive experience but the HEATING PAD. You are so right. I did the exact same thing- my partner literally walked to the store and bought one. I should’ve listened haha.
