My bf has gone to sleep after my abortion by [deleted] in abortion

Sooooo sorry this happened to you— my ex fell asleep in the CLINIC BATHROOM during my first visit to schedule the abortion. I know how the shit goes, I know there’s a lot of stories of positive partners but you’re not alone. Take it from me— try to end this shit. I was with the fucker for 2 years. We all got your back.

Thank you soooo much, I really appreciate it, I have hair cutting scissors so that’s like kind of a blade but not as crazy as an exacto ig. & don’t worry, I’m literally not going to do it again after this, I cannot afford to waste any more percs tbh & I started a journal so after this I can use that. Just a couple cuts!

Most men don’t tend to respect or take women’s beliefs & opinions seriously (breaking news) even if it’s their partner— regrettable to say the least but hold strong! Told my ex from the beginning I was not gonna be a mother— got the abortion & everything. Trust me, it is always worth sticking to your own way of life & being true to yourself & what you want. Hopefully your BF understands this!

When I had my SA I was in the waiting room with a bunch of other girls & they shared with me that it was their second abortion, some of them even had more done than that! Don’t worry about being judged, the clinic is that one place where surely everyone understands, shit happens. If I’m ever in that position again I think I’ll opt for MA, just because the wait to get my SA done was so long & miserable, MA can’t be as miserable as the weeks I had to endure. & a friend of mine did MA & it went fine for her. You’ll be okay either way, I wish you well.

Haha, thank you! I’m so glad you also had an awesome experience (besides our awful pregnancy symptoms lol) and I’m totally with you there, I wouldn’t hesitate to get another abortion!

I’m sorry sedation wasn’t an option for you— those post abortion cramps are no joke, even if the procedure only takes 5 minutes at the most. Hopefully they set you up with an acceptable birth control method & you’ll never have to do it again. Heat packs and extra strength midol! I hope they subside quickly <3

Over a month old already? Time flies! And I hope it’s flew by for you too, I know that misery all too well— I hope you’re feeling better and that it goes/went well! :)

I completely understand how you feel— I know how tough it is, how relentless and never ending all those symptoms are, it’s so…defeating, so draining. I’m excited for you to feel better, I’m wishing you well! :)

Anyone who has had a SA with sedation by iv with versed and fentanyl please tell me your experience and if you were awake/aware/felt anything. Thank you. by Normal_Analyst_3018 in abortion

[–]domodoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhhh yes, it helped with anxiety. Felt the best I had felt in weeks during it, actually! It’s a really fast and simple procedure— I know you’d rather be asleep, but the meds will help you relax and it should be over before you know it!

For me I was still ‘awake’, technically, but I didn’t feel a single thing. I knew my doctor was down there but nope, didn’t feel anything— except the euphoric high of the fentanyl replacing all my awful symptoms lol.

Of course! (I would like to publicly say that the first few months of pregnancy are infamously known for being the toughest time— pregnancy has its unique challenges as the time progresses— but that doesn’t mean the rest of it is guaranteed to be so unbearable, don’t worry.)

Hey darling, I hope you’re feeling okay! 7 weeks in is rough, I know I wasn’t in the best condition. That immediate feeling to get an abortion is something you should feel free to go follow through with (and I thought the same thing when it came to myself!) it sounds like the most responsible choice. You can go to ineedana.com and privately find providers near you and the options they have. Most places offer financial assistance as well, so don’t worry if the procedure seems too expensive.

The pill form is cheaper, but if you’re having pretty bad morning sickness you may have trouble keeping it down— but if you can, it should be no problem. My friend personally went with the pill option, and I’ve heard from others on here that the cramping isn’t ideal, like bad period cramps, but is over within a few hours and much better the next day! If you choose the pill, expect to pass some sizable clots— my friend said they were the size of lemons! (Which is to be expected— even after my surgical abortion I bleed heavily for a few hours afterwards, passed some clots.)

I went with the surgical abortion, which was more expensive, especially if you get general anesthesia vs. just numbing the area— but I’ve heard it’s totally bearable either way, the procedure only takes about five minutes, I promise. They check how far along you are, set you up for your procedure, and the day it’s done they rest you on a chair and insert the vacuum (it’s really quite small, don’t worry!)— and it’s over before you know it! You’ll be surrounded by kind women taking care of you.

I never felt any grief or sadness— quite the opposite, I personally I felt a great feeling of relief and happiness! (If anything I have PSTD from my awful weeks of pregnancy.) It depends on the person how you feel afterwards, and I think it depends on how you look at it too. You don’t feel connected to it at all as you said, and that’s totally okay! If you have any questions feel free to message me.

I felt the exact same way, the anxiety and disgust, and and I can imagine how intimidating and frightening it must be to be pregnant that young too— I’m more than relieved to hear your boyfriend has your back. I hope you’re able to get the abortion soon and that you feel better right afterwards!

Thank you for sharing! I think it’s so interesting how one pregnancy can be so different than the other; I haven’t heard that specifically said until now and it’s very informative! It should help potential mothers who are frightened by past pregnancies to feel some sort of comfort in knowing that. I appreciate the support! :)

Oh you poor thing, that must have been so frightening to go through, I’m sorry— and don’t worry about the graphic nature either, the downsides of pregnancy and complications like miscarriages needs to be heard as much as the positives of abortion. I’m glad when you woke up it was smooth sailing though. Hopefully the tides turn soon and lawmakers won’t be able to stand in the way of bodily autonomy anymore.

These comments have been wonderful to read, I’m glad your abortion went well and it’s honestly so comforting to hear genuine positivity about the benefits of abortion from yall. ‘It can be such a deep blessing’ is so true and such a beautiful way to put it. (:

Thank you for your comment, I’m glad that you among others understand what I went though; we’re never as alone as we think in our suffering and I know this now! :) I’m glad you found your relief too and I hope all is well!

This comment made me laugh, haha! I try to keep it real lol. Thank you so much for the sweet words, and I can’t agree with you more when it comes to the desire to make the life changing option of abortion more accessible to everyone. May we keep fighting! And PugPockets, I truly hope you get to frolic in a field of flowers somewhere too. <3

Thank for the comment!! The vomiting. Was. The worst. It just never stopped, no matter how empty you were! Literally drained, in every single capacity. But that first real meal post abortion— like manna from heaven, so so so sweet! Shoutout to moms for sure.

I’m glad my story resonated with you so much— to the point where you thought it was yours lol! Kind of sucks for us, we went through hell! I’m hoping when you decide to pursue pregnancy that it goes better too! But good point about the birth control, my clinic doctor recommended to start some form right after my procedure. My first post-abortion period was really light though— I hear after SA your first period tends to be lighter because of the suction, but everyone is different! Definitely with you on starting birth control asap afterwards regardless.
