Thanks :) It really is commonplace, 1 in 3 women! One full third, and we have to creep around in the shadows and leave anonymous comments on message boards.

I’ve had both. With my first pregnancy, I was extremely nauseous, couldn’t stay awake, awful doesn’t begin to describe it. I got the surgical at PP. There were protestors of course but the escort was wonderful, pulled me close and spoke loudly so I couldn’t hear them. Anyway after I got the surgery I got a can of…

I had a surgical termination at around 9 weeks. I was under general anaesthetic and had a pretty unpleasant reaction (trying to get off the table and swearing at the docs while under sedation, apparently - sorry doctors!) Plus waking up covered in blood and projectile vomiting the first food I was given. This was in…

I’ve never had a d & c so I can’t compare the pain, but a few years ago I had a miscarriage where the fetus had died but my uterus refused to give up the goods, so I had the choice to do either the d & c or a medical abortion to finish the job. I chose to do the medical abortion and it was the most painful thing I’ve…

I did surgical a few months ago. I was almost 7 weeks. At first, I wanted the pills but I was afraid of bleeding out athe home, having horrible cramps...etc. So I did the surgical. I was given a local anesthetic, and it was over within minutes it was over. I was groggy and slept most of the day on and off and at night…

I would imagine it depends somewhat on how far along you are. I had a medical abortion and it was very early— like 4 or 5 weeks—and with the pain pills it was not so bad, just like a very gnarly period.

I had a medical abortion around tenish years ago. I remember wearing a pad to go to bed mostly because I never wear pads. But I don't remember any extra discomfort. I was also barely pregnant, just at about 5-6 weeks. I get probably medium to strong period cramps normally so this was equal to or less than that.

I had an abortion in Michigan about four years ago, through Planned Parenthood. They gave me the paperwork about a week out from the procedure because of scheduling issues (could only happen on certain days, booked up for the first ones I was eligible for and the waiting period kept me from going to an open…

I had an abortion last year, a surgical one. I barely took the pain meds, and I had hardly any bleeding afterwards and no pain. It was actually pretty awesome. I feel weird saying my abortion was awesome, but holy balls, was it awesome. Best part was how immediately afterwards, I could feel my tummy flatten. I don’t…

I’m pretttttttyyy sure women seeking abortions know about the responsibilities of parenthood, which is in large part why they want abortions. Way to treat women like ignorant thoughtless children, Michigan.

I had a surgical abortion almost a year ago and spent the rest of the day snuggled up with my boyfriend eating barbeque and watching The First Wives Club with a heating pad. Had it not been for the copious amounts of blood coming out of me, it would have been the perfect day off.
