I had abortion two weeks ago. I think that that was the best decision I could get. My friends supported to keep that baby, but I couldn’t accept to do it. I feel lucky to could do it in such clean and safe conditions. I’d like to share abortion experiences with other girls that are proud of themselves that did it. Please post.

I did it when was 18. My mother was with me and supported me to do it. It was treated like an accident; we were young and not careful enough. Although that young and in love with that guy, I knew that he was not the man of my life. I didn’t marry him and had many relations ships after that. I can not say that am very proud of myself that did it, but am grateful that had that choice.

I have had an abortion, 3 actually, 2 while using BARRIER birth control methods and one on an IUD.

I cannot use hormones, so BC pills are not for me, I have had to use what I can.

I am happy and proud that I was able to make a positive decision for myself, and it was a safe and clean environment. I feel very badly for women who must have illegal abortions.

I too am greatful that I had the choice.

BOTH of you sound like strong women =) I am glad that you made the right choice for YOU at the time.

I had a surgical abortion 6 days ago. Things went well.slept the day off and then no cramping and less than normal my monthly period.Question is, I am now experiencing cramping in my lower abdomen...were I was only have slight pain before. I do not have even a low-grade fever. Why am I having this discomfort?

Are you still bleeding a little? Maybe off and On?

I had some cramping about 7 days after my abortion, and it was a few blood clots just coming out.

This could he happening to you as well. As long as you have no fever, and your bleeding seems normal, you may just ride it out for a few days.

It was the worst experience I have ever gone through. I would not recommend it to any one. I had an abortion at 38 years old due to age. I already have several kids and my husband did not want any more. I really wanted the baby and to this day I regret not keeping it. It was a very painful abortion, I could feel every thing the doctor was doing. He was rude but the nurses were nice.

I'm 21 and Four days ago I had an abortion and can't say it has been a pleasent experience by any stretch of the imagination. I am in constant pain that mersyndol and panadol can not get rid of while i am taking the antibiotics the doctor gave me they have offered no help about the pain which is getting worse. I can't walk with out getting sharp pain or use my bowls. I know everybody has the right to choose but i am regretting being forced into having an abortion and think that anyone considering it should read information on the internet and pamphlets about after an abortion (you aren't told how it will be) before having one. If i knew this is how it would be i would have walked out like i wanted to regardles of partners feelings i would have done what i wanted to and keep the baby.

When you are FORCED to have an abortion, you are going to have problems.

That is very normal, because noone likes to be forced to do anything.

I was a student who had an Abortion at a woman's clinic and it was the best decision i made for myself at the time. I was young, and on the pill, however wound up pregnant. I learned a valuble lesson from this situation. To use alternate forms of birth control.
At the time I pretty much moon walked out of the office. I mean i could not help thinking everyday how much i did not want this baby!! Especially because the father of it was just a fling.
The place i went was amazing. I was in and out in 45 mins. I was given a simple Fental injection to easy what little pain i had. That same night i hung out with my girlfriends. No pain at all.

Well it's been a few years and i am now with the man of my dreams and have a great career and guess what i am pregnant!! almost 11 weeks now. It was a great decision at the time. This pregnancy has been smooth sailing. It great how good it feels when you actually want to baby.
