Is abortion or medical abortion the only options even though I'm only 2 weeks pregnant? If so, what is the medical abortion like?

You have a couple different options at this point. You can decide to parent, give the baby up for adoption or terminate the pregnancy. Beings that you are only 2 weeks pregnant, the medical abortion would be an option. The surgical method (D&E - dilation and extraction or D&C - dilation and cureattage) are usually used after 4 weeks gestation. The medical abortion uses 2 pills to stop the pregnancy. Don't be fooled. The medical abortion may sound easier, but you should research your options before you decide anything.

Like I said, the medical abortion uses 2 pills - 1 pill is given by the doctor in the clinic to begin the process of the abortion and the 2nd pill is taken later either at home or at another clinic visit about 4-7 days later. Be aware that there is a substancial amount of pain once the second pill is inserted into the vagina. The pill (usually "miso" or cytotec) acts by dilating the uterus and helps to expell the contents of the uterus. This can be quite a painful process. There will be a large amount of bleeding that accompanies this method. A lot of the time, a woman can pass clots that are the size of oranges. This can be problematic for anyone who has conditions such as anemia or any bleeding disorders. Be aware that the fetus does pass as a single unit- this usually takes place at home. This can be very traumatic for some people.

I hope you make the right decision. I know that dealing with being pregnant is really tough. I wish you the best!

When you miss your period you are automatically 4 weeks, as they do not determine pregnancy from conception, but from your last period.

Surgical abortion is the fastest and easiest method of abortion for most women, and it involves less bleeding than medical abortion.

Early surgical aboriton takes about 5 minutes, and is done with suction aspiration, SCRAPING is not done early in pregnancy, only suction is needed.

I HAD AN ABORTION, I WAS 6 WEEKS. AND IT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THAT I HAVE EVER MADE. I THINK ABOUT IT EVERYDAY AND TO KNOW THAT IT WAS A LIFE INSIDE YOU THAT IS NOW GONE BECAUSE YOU WERE ONLY THINKING OF YOURSELF WHEN YOU MADE THIS DECISION. IT'S NOT WORTH IT, IF YOU ARE PREGNANT GOD DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES. HAVE YOUR BABY, IF YOU HAVE AN ABORTION YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT! YOU WILL THANK ABOUT IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! JUST THINK FIRST! Embarassed

NOT everyone regrets abortion. I am sorry YOU do, BUT I am happy about my abortions, just as many women are.

DID you take the abortion pill, or the morning after pills?

Those are TWO totally DIFFERENT things.

The abortion pill DOES cause deformities.
