medical abortion

[lovethatlovage.livejournal.com]

i just figured i would post this for anyone that is considering a medical abortion as an option, or is worried about going though it.
i had a medical abortion, via RU-486.

i got a lot of good input from this site when i was considering my options, which i totally appreciated.

i scheduled an appointment with the local clinic and i had to pay $450 off the bat. i considered my options for quite awhile before i went through with it and it was the absolute best option for me. the staff was very kind and considerate throughout. no lie they were a completely sweet bunch of ladies.

after a series of sonograms and exams the doc wrote me perscription, which they filled at the facility, and they sent me home. didnt even have to go to the pharmacy, that was nice.

i had a good amount of bleeding and pain, but nothing nearly as bad as i expected. it was really uneventful and i was totally relieved by how easily it went.

i have emotional consequences obviously, but the physical part when super smooth. just posting this i guess for anyone in the same situation. happy with my choice overall

OP, thank you for trusting VP enough to share your story. We're honored to have you here, as always.

Commenters: We'd like to remind you all of VP's rules (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=VaginaPagina_FAQ), specifically with regard to abortion debate in VP on LJ:

"VaginaPagina as a body does not take a stance on abortion, or on any other controversial issues for that matter. It's not that we don't all have our own personal opinions, but political biases aren't what we're about. We're about health and access to information.

"We ask that our members refrain from arguing about abortion issues here as it's counterproductive to community cohesiveness."

We'd also like to remind everyone that abortion debate is fine in the "Politics" section of the VP.com Forums (http://forums.vaginapagina.com), but is unwelcome everywhere else on the site/LJ community.

VP is fabulous because of its members, so please take care to uphold the rules and your usual wonderfulness as you comment to this and every post. Thank you!
