medical abortion

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

I'm glad to hear it went well. I had a vacuum aspiration abortion about a year and a half ago and felt mostly positive about it, though the emotional after-stuff is a little distressing. I had a hard time deciding between medical and vacuum aspiration, and though I don't regret my choice, I'm sure it was comforting to be able to do it at home. :hugs:
