First off those side effects coma, cervical lansceration, cancer ect are more common than you think and I agree that you are being selfish by ending your childs life. I would beg you to please think through this first before you make your decision you are talking about your babies life here. Studies have also shown that 96% of mothers after they have had an abortion feel they have taken a human life. You don't have to kill your baby just because you don't have time, put it up for adoption there are hundreds of couples out there who would love a baby. Also it is much harder to become pregnant later down the road if you have had an abortion.

i am 17 and was pregnant. Me and my boyfriend went together and had a termination. He was very suportive and i probably couldnt have done it without him. I live with my parents but they never found out. Neither did my friends.

This was 2 months ago and since, me and my boyfriend have broken up and no longer speak. It probably was because of the termination but who's to say. I also had a contraceptive implant inserted in my arm which i was told could mess up my periods. Since my abortion i have not stopped bleeding although it is light, could it just be from the implant? I have not had a proper period since. Im worried my womb might be punctured or something and i dont really know anything about it. Because no-one else found out and me and my boyfriend broke up i have no one to ask and without his support i dont dare go to the doctors.

Wondered if anyone can help me? Just would like some information. I was never very well informed anyway and this has made me worry.
Do you think its gone wrong? My main fear is being infertile. I would love to have kids, just not when im 17. Am i less likely to be able to now? Also, ive heard im more likely to have a miscarriage and get Cancer?

HI THERE!!

The american cancer society openly states that abortion does not cause breast cancer, there were studies done by them. The american breast cancer foundation also says the same thing.

Your fertility returns right after an abortion. In the past, fertility problems associated with abortion were because of illegal abortion, it was unclean and caused MASSIVE infections which affected fertility. There are pro life groups out there which give false information, but you can find good info from the american cancer society and the CDC.(Centers for disease control)




The Implant causes irregular spotting and bleeding for the first 3-5 months of use, and some women may even lose their periods alltogether.

i find it very disturbing that people choose to judge others based on their own opinions. I also have my own opinions, but do not live or walk in any one elses shoes. It is a very private and intimate decision of a woman to have or not have an abortion and it is her own decision and no one elses. I challenge anyone out there to say that every single time in their life where they had sex and were completely ready for the consequences of pregnancy. I seriously doubt that every single person out there waited to have sex with someone that they were ready to have a child with. At any time in your life you could be exactly where these people are. Shame on you for judging.

You could have cysts on your ovaries, which are common in women in general.

Some women take 4-5 weeks for a preganncy test to show negative, we are individuals, and the hormones can take awhile to exit our system.

Most docs say you should expect a period in 6-8 weeks.

OK I understand not having time for a baby, and I understandn considering an abortion. But I DO NOT understand why some people just want to be jerks about things for no reason. If a woman wants an abortion, its her choice, and no one should try to make her feel bad for what she Believes is in her best interest.

Oh, I just wanted to say, you're being really selfish with this decision of yours. You're ending the possibility of a child living out his/her life because you "don't have time". Oh, and jhernandez, I noticed your other comment had the title, be an adult about this (or something like that), I think you're naive and selfish, like a child, by supporting this terrible act.



sounds to me like your the one that is selfish and playing god here. where do you get off judging others for private decisions. karma

I honestly cannot believe the nerve of GUEST to come to this chat and be so condescending. Come on now, you are the one reading and responding to concerned and nervous women that are considering abortions. If you don't have a concern or supportive ear to provide these women, then you should find a new place to chat.

I am also having an abortion. I have had 2 miscarriages and 1 child. I do use preventative measures; however, it failed! I am in no shape to financially, mentally, or physical have another child at this time or anytime in the near future.

I wish you the best of luck with your decision and your future!

I don't think that there is any room for anyone to judge someone for making a life making decision....

I believe that you are entitled to your choice, and should be given help on your question. People really shouldn't give their own opinions unless they have some postive information to offer as well. Anyone can talk about others but it could be them in the same situation, and if they haven't been they can't tell you how to feel.



I was forced to terminate my recent pregnancy because I have health issues that were killing me and my baby. I am sad that I couldn't keep my baby so I encourage you to make you "own" choice but fully consider a better reason to abort the pregnancy than "I don't have time".



I don't want to bash I just want to extend a helpful hand by reminding you to really think, because it might be hard to make the changes for a baby but you probably think it was worth it.



I suggest you visit http://www.plannedparenthood.org/ they will give you all the information you need without all the negativity.



And to the negative posters you listed all of the major side effects that very rarely occur and a lot of myth.

I would just like to say I have seen abortion from both ends of the spectrum. I once used to be a strongly opinionated pro-life advocate who, at 18 years old refused to get an abortion when everyone around me was trying to force me into it. 2 years down the road, mother to a healthy toddler and business school student, I would not trade the life I have with my daughter for anything, but when I became pregnant again I knew that I just could not properly care for another child. So I, who had ALWAYS been so against abortion, found myself doing just that. And while I understand that some may find it very wrong let me ask you this, is it better to SAFELY, thanks to legal abortion, have tens of thousands of unborn babies sent to heaven every year or is it better to have hundreds of thousands more living here on earth in poverty, in abusive or neglectful homes, or in foster care?? JUst something to think about.
