USA how long did you wait to have sex again after SA/MA abortion?

2 Upvotes

hi! I had a surgical abortion on 10/02 and i was almost 7 weeks. I was told to wait at least 2 weeks. Im just curious about how long others waited and their experience after having an abortion. I will admit I am a little worried/scared about the first time.

UK and Ireland 48 hours since misoprostol not passed pregnancy - UK

• Upvotes

48 hrs since I took misoprostol vaginally, I then took 2 more misoprostol 4hrs after first batch because no progress. I started bleeding then it became v light. Now its become super light, no cramps either. Ive had previous early miscarriage & gave birth, each time, including periods, I bleed a lot and experience intense cramping, clots usually in periods & previous miscarriage and pain. This has not been the case this time round.

I currently feel really full in my lower abdomen/pelvic area & exhausted. Ive tried walking aroundto try mobilise blood flow & sitting on the toilet but nothing. I dont think I’ve passed the pregnancy at all, not enough blood nowhere near. Been advised by abortion provider to wait 7 days but something feels wrong and I just want this over with. Any similar experiences or thoughts? I start my new job on Monday and really dont know what to do and wnated to avoid taking time off as soon as I start. Ive pushed start date by 2 weeks already. Feeling overwhelmed.

Canada Can anyone share their experiences with later MA 8-10 weeks?

• Upvotes

I am going through a Medical (Pill) abortion tonight (2nd pills) and curious what to expect. I have had a medical abortion a few years ago at like 5-6 weeks and it was absolutely terrible in terms of pain, and a visible sac/ tissue expelled, shivers, sweats, racing heart, extreme cramps, nausea, diarrhea all at once... so measuring 8 weeks 5 days (but period places me more 9 weeks 3 days), I am even more afraid of serious effects after it begins.

I am thinking of taking 500mg Naproxen, 1000mg Tylenol and 1mg Hydromorphone in advance with Gravol/ pepto-bismol as precaution but worried it may be overkill. I only took a Naproxen last time and zero relief.

How long did it take you to expel the main tissue? Last time it was pretty traumatic cause I could see the sac/ embryo clearly and there was like a gush of liquid....

USA Good experience with the second abortion pill.

• Upvotes

hi posting this because I just wanted to share my experience. everyone was making it seem like the pain will be 10/10! honestly I took medication to relief the pain 30 minutes before and every 6 hours after. I felt the cramps but it felt like regular cramps to me. I have such a low tolerance with pain so I was terrified.

I used a heating pad and I was able to sleep over night. I did get up to change my pad. next day I’m able to get up but here and there I feel the cramps. I don’t have to take pills anymore.

honestly the pain for me is a 3/4 out of 10.

USA I Think I’m Going to Have an Abortion

1 Upvotes

This past weekend I found out I’m 3 weeks 5 days pregnant. We were not trying at all and I don’t think I’m ready for a second baby right now. My first baby is only 14 months old. We have a vacation planned at the end of February, I don’t want to give up another entire summer for a newborn. It feels selfish, but I think it’s the right thing to do. I’m sacred of making a decision and regretting it though. If it was literally 2 or 3 months later I’d be overjoyed and ready for a second baby.
If I go through with an abortion, will I be able to conceive in February/March?

I’m 32 I have birthed 5 children 4 are mine one was a surrogacy pregnancy. I’m in the worst financial position I’ve ever been in and I just found out I’m pregnant from one time mess up. I am having to have an abortion but I’m scared it’s going to haunt me forever and I’m scared I’m going to never be able to get pregnant again. My boyfriend doesn’t think it’s a big deal but all of it is eating me alive. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I ordered the pills online for the abortion. Has anyone done that? I can’t afford to go to planned parenthood. That’s why I ordered them online they were only 25$. Please help 😭😭😭

USA I don’t know if I want an abortion.

1 Upvotes

I’m 20 and I’m not sure if I want an abortion. My boyfriend 21 does. I’ve had one before and it felt like the right decision and I still feel like it was. But it was still hard on my psyche. And with this one an abortion doesn’t fully feel right. And I want to keep it. But another part kf me knows we can’t afford a baby right now and we haven’t been together long. And it would also be a lot. And we’re both so young and haven’t lived life much. But he’s also the best man I’ve ever been with and I’m so in love with him and we’ve talked about how we want to be each others forevers and get married. But I’m worried if I go through with the pregnancy it will make him resent me, or it will make him leave me. And if I get an abortion I’m worried I will regret it.

Add/ edit- I do truly want to be a mom and It was hard on me for my last abortion. I just don’t know what to do. And most importantly I want to be able to give a child a secure life. We’ve talked about having kids in the future but I think he thinks it’s too soon now.

UK and Ireland Do you think my abortion was successful? Lack of pain?

1 Upvotes

I took mifeprostone Monday at 9.15am. I then took misoprostol Tuesday at 9.30. I would have been just under 6 weeks. By 13:30, I had diarrhoea and null pain but no bleeding so took the third dose then. I then had bleeding, but mostly while I was on the toilet. I was sitting/resting all day, so I suppose the blood pooled and only came out when I was on the toilet. I didn’t experience a lot of pain and never felt contraction like cramps, mostly just dull pain that was most discomfort than anything. Because I lost most blood in the toilet, I’m unsure whether I passed tissue. It’s Thursday now and I am bleeding into pads and losing blood in toilet, not a concerning amount. I’m still feeling some light cramping. Should I be concerned I didn’t have massive pain or cramping?

Canada SA abortion under moderate sedation + local anaesthetic @ 4 weeks (Newfoundland, Canada)

2 Upvotes

Hi! First of all I would like to thank those who left a kind comment on my previous post. They were extremely helpful. Now I wanted to share my experience for others in need.

I got my abortion done by suction (moderate sedation + local anesthesia) at a small clinic in Newfoundland, Canada (Athene Health Centre aka Clinic 215). I'm glad I went with SA, I was initially considering MA but got terrified after reading all the horror stories here.

I was at the clinic for about 5 hours total, where they provided me paperwork, counseling, ultrasound, medication and IV, and then finally the suction procedure. My experience was very positive.

I would say the scariest part for me was IV insertion, since I've never had it in me before and I HATE needles. But the nurses were kind and quick! I just felt a pinch.

Here is how the procedure went: after getting the IV tube in, they gave me ibuprofen, antibiotics, and some kind of anxiety pill to take. Then two more pills to keep between my gum and cheek for 30 minutes. After about 1.5 hours it was time. They made me change my bottoms to a wrap skirt and wait a little in a comfy reclining chair with a heating pad and a blanket. When I moved to the operation room I laid down on a gynecology bed, had versed and fentanyl injected through IV, then started to feel loopy after a few seconds. I was still awake and felt what was going on - the needles for local anesthetic, and some tools doing whatever inside. Just very sleepy, and not painful. They had a screen on the ceiling showing beautiful art and photos, but I think I had my eyes shut for the most of it lol. After about 5 minutes it started to feel really uncomfortable (closer to itchy than painful), but then boom everything was done!!! They put me in a wheelchair, took me to the recovery room, and gave me a heating pad +blanket + cookies and apple juice while I rested for 30 minutes. I felt completely normal after. I don't remember when I put my pants back on though lol.

I had a normal period-like back pain afterwards until this morning with some bleeding (procedure was yesterday), but otherwise I'm doing fine. I am back to my normal schedule today! Everyone at the clinic was so kind and non-judgemental. I could not have asked for a better environment.

From my experience I highly recommend the suction procedure method. I've never had MA so I don't know what it would be like, but I will just say that I'm glad I went with SA.

Asia I need advices, please help me.

1 Upvotes

Problem / Goal:
I want to ask if how are the chances of me getting pregnant? Bcs I don’t want to.

Context: F, 22 . Had sex last night and the condom slipped off when my bf was about to pull out (little cum inside the condom). The ring was outside and there’s no leakage no dripping. But to make sure, i took the trust pill (yuzpe method). My period should be on 29th. But I am sure that theres no cum that entered me (only inside the condom). So please tell me if there’s anything I could do more to prevent this.

Previous Attempts: This is my first time with this situation so I really don’t know what other things I should do. Please respect my post.

Canada can’t decide and not the best circumstances

1 Upvotes

I feel really stupid, I have positive tests. I was just planning on leaving my partner, who always showed signs of being abusive but now has really become so. this is a repeated circumstance, I have had an abusive partner and pregnancy before with failed prevention methods (not just an IUD). I don’t want to believe he’s abusive but he is :( in multiple ways. I always find some excuse.

we are not financially great either, part of that is him being financially unfair, but his parents I’m sure would be supportive of me. and kind of know his behaviour. I’m so sad. He thinks that my emotionality is abusive but it’s in response to his actions although yes I’m sensitive and sometimes give up on myself too easily.

I don’t know what to do. Even before with the circumstances having an abortion was traumatic. Last time I was more panicked. This time I’m not sure. My cousin said if I keep it they have kids and will help me. I don’t want to wait too long. I’m at 7 weeks exactly and I wish I had found out sooner but I had to stay out of my apartment while he was threatening and hurting me.

I’m so sad. I made plans to leave. I have a new place. I just want to be in love. 😞 I’m having really delusional thoughts about a different man coming to my rescue and wanting to raise it with me. 🙄

Hey all,

Has anyone had experience ordering online at planccpills,org? Some people have suggested them to me, but I'll be honest the site seems a little bit sketchy. Has anyone had a good experience with them? For context, I'm in Florida and I'm getting an ultrasound today but I'm pretty sure I'm past 6 weeks. Will I get in trouble if I take them past that point if I order them before the six week mark? Do I need to give them a confirmation of pregnancy?

So we have successfully aborted the baby. However, we're quite confused on what to do with the remainings. A person recommended burying/throw it in a river, but we don't have any land to bury it and throwing it in the river seems kinda risky. It's kinda big so flushing it down the toilet is risky too. Any recommendations?

I took mife at 4 weeks ish and the next day I took miso roughly 4.3 weeks. I had light bleeding after my first dose and bled into the toilet, past a clot. And wiped. Bleeding was light and settled down that night. Barely anything in the pad.

2 days later I bled some more and then started passing brown pieces that were speckled in brown discharge or when I peed. Then it all stopped

My symptoms have gone away. And mostly my nipple soreness is gone. I would technically be a week after first dose of miso today and 5.3 days if it were ongoing.

I’m working myself up. Going to get hcg test today. My first. I’ve been using easy at home tests and I just feel like they should be fading by now, especially since I wasn’t far a long at all.

Any advice If I should be getting a dark positive still or should it be fading by now?!

*edited - I had cervical egg white discharge this morning dripping from me when I peed

Africa Got raped by a close relative, got pregnant and now I feel so lost.

115 Upvotes

I got raped by my uncle, got pregnant and now don't know what to do. I need some advice.

I'm a high school student from a third world country where abortion is really shunned and I don't know how to go about it. I don't have anyone I can talk to about this and it's really killing me.

A month and a half ago, I got raped by my uncle at our home. My mum works double shifts (fruit trader during the day and janitor at a hotel at night). She's hardly ever home and even when she is she is usually too tired so we hardly spend time together. Every two to three days she sends my uncle, her brother, to check up on us (my brother is 11) and help around the house Once a week he takes my brother for football practice just close to where we live. From what I know she's been paying my uncle to do that.

He's been looking after us for close to a year now and everything used to be cool with him, until the incident.

He doesn't really speak much he would just come after we left school in the evening, make dinner sometimes, help my brother with homework or take him for practice and then we watch movies till like midnight.

One day he came home drunk which I've never seen him do at all. He brought my brother some juice and snacks and got me a diary which I had told him I wanted. What was strange is my brother started getting drowsy and fell asleep almost immediately after eating the snacks. I suspect he had spiked the juice with something, but I didn't think much of it then because he sometimes sleeps early after practice.

I was left with my uncle watching movies, as we usually do, when he started complaining of how my mum thinks she's better than him because she has two jobs and all that. I told him that it's not true and that mum loved him so much and always spoke highly of him and that having two jobs didn't mean she was doing well financially. The assumption in this part of the world is the more jobs you can get the better off you are. I told him that he could talk to mum to try and find him something to do. Mum has done this before but he can never keep a job. So I told him to make sure he perseveres in whatever job he finds before things get better. I don't know why he got angry at me because he suddenly slapped me so hard that I fell and started crying. Then he stripped me naked and said that since I thought I was grown he was going to make me a woman. I tried fighting him off but he's way stronger. I tried screaming for my brother but he didn't wake up, now I know why.

All I remember is feeling some sharp pain down there as he forced himself onto me. It's like my body just shut down and I was completely out of it and lay there. Even when he finished, I just lay there for hours crying and couldn't move. Before he left he said that if I told his sister(mum) he would make sure my life was a living hell and I won't get to go to college. Nobody in our family has a degree and I've been working so hard to get there and study engineering.

Anyway, when mum came home the next day I had already showered and stayed in bed all day as it was a Saturday so no school. My brother had been playing all day. As usual mum gets home and sleeps so I don't think she noticed that I was sad and had been crying.

My uncle came around again twice and those have been the longest nights of my life. I was so scared and couldn't even do anything. I couldn't even eat with him around. He didn't say a word and pretended that everything was normal. He got a job two weeks ago or so I hear, not sure if it's true. So he hasn't been coming around and it's basically just me and my brother most of the time.

Then I missed my periods at the end of last month and immediately started panicking. I used my lunch money and got a pregnancy test kit last week which confirmed my fears. I cried so much and felt like my life had ended. I cannot tell my mother because I don't think she'd believe me. Even if she did, she's the super religious type and wouldn't accept that I have an abortion.

She always talks about how such things bring shame into a family, which is hilarious because her own brother is all the shame one could ask for.

I cannot have this baby. How will I look at a child that reminds me of pain and betrayal every day?

How can I raise them with love when they come from animosity?

Fortunately, abortion is legalish in our country but it's too expensive (around 500$) which I cannot afford as I'm in school. I'm pretty sure mum can't raise that money as well as its around 2-3 months of her salary. Then again even if she could, she wouldn't.

I've been so stressed since last week I'm barely concentrating in class. My end of year exams are almost here and I don't want to fail. I have no other way out of this life apart from school. If I don't do well next year for the finals I might never make it to college. I might never get out.

I'm so sad and have no one to talk to. I was researching natural methods to abort but they seem too complicated and don't guarantee success. I came across this sub in my research which has been a sigh of relief because now I know which meds to take. Unfortunately, I can't buy them from a pharmacy as they're only available in designated abortion clinics.

I'm so lonely and lost. I've thought about suicide but how can my life be lost because someone couldn't live theirs? I can't let him win.

I wish I had someone I could talk to. I feel so alone. I keep asking why this had to happen to me but I couldn't wish it on somebody else so I'm accepting that this is my fate.

Would it be wrong if I stole to get the money. Or sell my body for some money? I don't know if I can do it but I assume it would be way easier than raising a child I don't love. I just need someone I could talk to.

Sorry for the long read I just needed to vent somewhere.

Asia Miss carriage pil miso for second time

1 Upvotes

Hi, I would like to ask if it is safe to take misoprostol (Miso pills) for the second time. I took it last week, but when I had an ultrasound scan this week, the doctor said there was still some pregnancy tissue remaining in my uterus. I don’t want to undergo a D&C at a private hospital because it is too expensive. Is it possible to take misoprostol again to help remove all the remaining tissue?
