Knowing the experiences of medical abortion can give women a better understanding of the process. Our team spoke to a few women from the US who had a medical termination of pregnancy in different situations. This interview will help you know the experiences while undergoing the procedure.
When did you decide that abortion is the right solution to your unwanted pregnancy?
K:
So, this unwanted pregnancy thing happened to me at the time when I found out that my boyfriend was cheating on me. These two situations coming together was devastating for me. Thankfully my friends were with me during all this who didn’t let me break down completely and helped me find a solution. So, for me, the picture was pretty clear. Abortion was the only thing that would have helped me move on in life and start fresh.
G:
Having sex with your college crush can make you forget the essential protection thing. I was getting well with my crush turned boyfriend that I was pregnant. I knew that it would ruin the whole thing, so I kept mum and decided to end my pregnancy instead.
S:
My husband and I sat together and thought about it. We were not prepared financially or emotionally. So abortion was the best thing we could think of.
Why did you choose medical abortion?
K:
It’s not that I couldn’t afford a surgical abortion, but, I didn’t want all the clinic-drama that you usually see with surgical abortion cases. To avoid all of that, I decided to go with medical abortion.
G:
I didn’t want anyone to know about my pregnancy. I didn’t tell any of my friends. Though, as a nineteen-year-old girl, I was mature enough to handle things on my own, I knew nobody would understand me. So medical abortion was the best option I could see.
S:
For financial reasons, we had to choose the medical termination of pregnancy.
Where did you get abortion pills from?
K:
I bought abortion pills online. I feel, if you are looking for the best abortion pills, you should have options to choose the best one which online platforms offered me.
G:
Before speaking to any doctor, I thought of going on the internet and seeing the best options I could see before me. That’s where I got to know about online abortion pills. I bought my medication from the bestabortionpillsrx.com
S:
After we got our prescription, I searched for the abortion pills in the local store. When I didn’t find any, I searched the pills online. My problem was solved.
How did you consume abortion pills?
K:
I think you are asking about Misoprostol. I took that buccally. I kept the pills in my cheek pouches as told. That’s it! It was quite easy.
G:
I consulted the online customer care team of bestabortionpillsrx.com. They helped me understand everything about the consumption of abortion pills. I simply followed their instructions.
S:
My healthcare provider was staying only a block away. So I didn’t have to care much about the consumption of abortion pills. He told me how to consume Mifepristone orally and Misoprostol vaginally. I also gave me the option of buccal use for Misoprostol. However, I thought vaginal use would be better for me.
Did you take a gap in your work?
K:
No. I didn’t want anyone at my workplace to have any doubts about what’s happening in my life.
G:
If you are talking about college, no. I didn’t go to college. And it wasn’t even a problem for me.
S:
I had to take the gap. After taking Misoprostol abortion pills, my vomiting and diarrhea problems started. With such things going on, I knew I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on my work. So, I took a gap.
What were the side effects that you experienced during the procedure?
K:
I knew the fact that the medical abortion procedure is painful. Nevertheless, I was prepared for everything, so for me, the medical abortion procedure was more of an emotional change than physical.
G:
It was damn painful. And the worst part was that I couldn’t even share it with anyone.
S:
It wasn’t painful, but the side effects of abortion pills had me. I had to deal with them through medications.
How much time did you take to recover?
K:
I bled for six days, which is almost a week. I had learned that abortion pills could give you too many side effects. But honestly, I didn’t feel anything except for nausea and vomiting. Since I was experiencing that with pregnancy, that did not make a big difference.
G:
I think 4-5 days. Because I was only in 4th week into my pregnancy. So I bled for only three days, and the pregnancy tissues passed.
S:
Two weeks.
Hence, the experience of medical abortion can be different for every person. You only have to know how you can make it better for yourself. Talk to your healthcare provider, get in touch with women who have had pregnancy termination before.
