Failed Surgical Abortion

Hello,
I had a surgical abortion at 5 and a half weeks. That was the end of June. I had spotting and went on the pill and have not had sex since. I had positive pregnancy tests so I went to have a follow up done today and the ultrasound confirmed that I am still pregnant. I had drank heavily after my abortion and so I am worried about the baby being healthy. I'm dreading going through the abortion again but I know it's not the right time for me to have a child. My mom keeps telling me that this could be a miracle and that I can have this second chance but I don't feel ready.

My mother and grandmother told me the same thing, but always do what's best for YOU.

Hi. I just went through this TODAY!! Aug 5th i was 5weeks. Went in for surgical abortion.. dr said all was fine but this past week i was so tired and stll very nauseus.... i felt i was still pregnant!! So yesturday i called the nurse and told her my symptoms and they got me in this morning... ultrasound showed a tissue mass or watevr it was still in my womb!!so i wound upnstaying and getting put to sleep to have a SECOND surgical abortion within a weeks time... they did an ultrasound this time after and it was gone. I hope to be feeling better physically by tomarrow. I just knew i was still pregnant. Hope all works out for you... dont beat yourself up... if it wasnt meant to be then dont feel sad or bad. Be happy and live your life.

I'm so sorry hun. That must have been hard on your mental state. I apologize that it messed you up. I couldnt even imagine going through that.

Same thing happened to me. Was your baby ok?

Hi, was the baby born well? I think having the same experience.

Is amazing...my own was 7 weeks and i went for surgical abortion but now im still feeling the symptons .....is been 4 days now...i think i have to go for scan and rash back to the clinic..

I currently am going through the same experience I went for personal reasons to have an abortion at 5weeks and I chose surgical. After the procedure I had some pain but not much and some bleeding but not much I just thought it was because I wasn't far along that I had such little bleeding. Over the next week and a half I was still experiencing more intense pregnancy systems I thought that was normal and I didn't think anything of it when I went for my follow up appointment they informed me that it was a missed abortion. I had never heard of anyone ever having a failed abortion because the doctor told me everything went well and that I was already showing early signs of a having a miscarriage and it was good to go ahead and terminate. so now I'm going back for a second abortion and I am pretty torn up about it I don't understand why this could have happened and there are so many questions I have that I didn't think to ask since I was in some shock when I was told the abortion had failed. if anyone has any more information on why this happened I would greatly appreciate it I'm very confused about why this could have happened when I was told it was a success and why I was told that the pregnancy was already starting to fail.

They probably missed it, happened to me. I was in total shock as well because how can you miss a fetus? But my doctors explained and even drew out how the produce works. Don't be scared to ask all the questions you need, it's your body love. Best wishes ❤️

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with you all, so that everyone who reads this is extra careful when dealing with a pregnancy.

I found out I was 7 weeks pregnant, and this was a complete shock to me, since i’m persuing my graduation and i’m still dependent on my parents for all my needs, I decided to terminate without a second thought.
The next day that I found out via ultrasound I went into a clinic and saw gynaec and explained my situation. The doctor was amazing and so understanding, she gave me all the relief and support that I needed that time. She admitted me the same day inserted two tablets to dialate my cervix and we decided to opt for an surgical abortion since I didn’t want to go through the pain in the medical abortion.
I was taken to inside the OT and was anesthesia and the next thing I remember is waking up next to my boyfriend feeling okay but nauseous. We decided to leave immediately since I wanted to go home and sleep and that’s what we did.
Apparently, I my symptoms weren’t going away I waited for weeks for my symptoms to go away, I had the strongest nausea an breast tenderness, which was becoming unbearable, also I kept on loosing weight and I was becoming thinner day by day and I lost my appetite and had weirdest smell sensitivity and a metallic taste in my mouth which was, oh so difficult to bear. Throughout the day I was becoming more lethargic and week.
After few days, I went in for a ultrasound since I’m suffering from chronic cholecystitis as well, and had to go in for surgery for it, and to my shock I found I was ten weeks along now.
I immediately rang my doctor and she asked me to come then and there and she was shocked, she said this never has happened in the entire history of her hospital.
Anyway, she gave me one tablet to eat in the clinic itself and four to insert in my vagina next morning before coming to the hospital.
The next morning I inserted the four tablets around 7, as I was supposed to leave for the clinic around 9, and reach by 10.
I started having very severe cramps one hour after inserting the tablets, and I was rushed to the clinic by my boyfriend, and after reaching the doctor gave me painkillers to eat which just didn’t seem to ease the pain, it was the worst pain I ever experienced, it was like going into labor. After that the doctor gave me two pills to swallow with water again. And my pain just became severe from there onwards.
After sometime of waiting just like the last time, I was changed into a gown and was taken to the OT by a nurse.
Well, after that I remember being given a anesthetic and that’s all I remember. After that I woke up in the hospital’s room and my nausea had vanished right there which was the biggest relief. Anyway, I started bleeding very heavily right after my procedure, and before it also, I mean after I took those tablets.
After that I taken home and I slept all day long and ate healthy food, my nausea had gone, and my fatigue and everything slowly was going away. It will be two weeks tomorrow, but this whole experience has been really stressful and saddening.
I wish none of you has to go through what I did, this is why, please see your fetus when you terminate and get a ultrasound right after.
I still feel bad for the baby i lost, but i’m not a Mom material, and this is why, I did what I thought was best for the baby and me. I’m very sorry to god but I just couldn’t help it.

Thank you, take care.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Send love your way. You're very strong

I just had a surgical abortion nov. 9 so 1 week ago I also still feel pregnant but I read the comment that said they use a Doppler ultrasound I obviously didn't watch so I don't remember the doctor using it but I do remember when I sat up I saw an ultrasound machine and in the recovery room I asked the nurse how do they know if they got everything and she said ultrasound so I'm assuming they should have done it during the procedure

Thank you for being open minded. I had to get an abortion recently. My health dictated me to do so. I have cancer. At this point, it's me or the baby. I have 2 children already. What was I supposed to do?

I can only wish my abortion had failed. I would give anything to take back what I did. I have three children already. During my fourth pregnancy when I found out I was scared but very happy.. as a couple weeks went by, I was tired all I wanted to do was sleep but couldn’t. I was also isolated besides having my kids around I was always alone with nobody to talk to. I started to feel overwhelmed with being pregnant again. Thinking how much work it would be, how I wasn’t financially stable either already with three kids... I blame my temporary insanity of my pregnancy hormones. Now that I feel back to normal and my mind is thinking straight again, I would give anything to take back what I did. Emotionally I’m a mess I cry myself to sleep at night I cry all the time actually, and I can’t help it.. I have horrible nightmares, and I dream of hearing my baby cry, I search and search but can’t find my baby and wake up sobbing. Nobody told me it would be this emotionally hard. People should tell you how hard it will be.. I question the people I’m close to because nobody not one person told me I should keep my baby and I turned to them in hopes that they would... everyone told me “it’s my choice” but I didn’t even know what to choose.. I’m trying to keep my sanity for my other children and it’s hard but I manage. I replay in my head what I did and what could have been. The hardest thing I’ve ever done and the hardest lesson I will ever have to learn is forgiving myself. I’m not religious at all.. I been thru a lot in my life as well.. if abortion is a choice and no big deal why does it break my soul apart? I’ve forever lost a piece of me and I feel an actual physical pain in my chest. I hope all of you can find peace I’m still trying to find mine.

I was 6weeks when i had a surgical abortion and it failed i had to go back 2 weeks later for another procedure so it does happen im living proof
