Abortion :: Surgical Abortion Failed?
Dec 13, 2014
I am writing this as my girlfriend and I are concerned about an abortion she had a little over 4 weeks ago. I would appreciate respectful comments and suggestions please.
When she had the abortion she was only 8 weeks pregnant, after 3 weeks we went back for a follow up appointment where they had her do a urine test. The lady came back to tell her she was fine.
The thing that is concerning us now is that her breasts seem to be growing as well as sensitive. She has not felt nausea as bad as before, but last night was pretty bad.. So there are still very obvious signs of pregnancy. Doing an at home test a few days ago, the test came back with the faintest line. Could it be possible that she is still pregnant?
If the abortion failed, she would be 12 weeks. Do pregnancy tests come back negative further along in the abortion? Is it possible that she may still be pregnant, or are her hormones still balancing out?
Should we go and get an ultrasound done just to make sure?

On February 17th I had an appointment for the medical abortion procedure. They gave me an ultrasound and concluded that I was 8 weeks and 3 days, so I qualified for the non-invasive option. They supplied me with a pill there, 2 pills for 24 hrs later and also prescription strength ibuprofen. Things went as they did, and presumably well, at that...considering. I started bleeding within 4 hrs of taking the second set of meds... At first heavy, then tapered down. I was at most spotting after the first 2 days, and that lasted for about 10 days. I concluded myself that this was successful and the symptoms of pregnancy seemed to disappear shortly after.
This morning I called the clinic because I was concerned with not having my period arrive. It had been at least 9 weeks since the pills had been taken and I wasn't entirely clear on how long it would take due to everyone's body being different. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. They had me come in today in a rush, concerned that either it failed or I was pregnant with a second. I received another ultrasound and it surely came back as a failed medical abortion. I am now 17 weeks and a couple odd days. The technician seemed amazed and perplexed, as I am just an emotional mess... Contemplating all options from this point on. She said that I would be putting myself in danger if I decided to continue with the pregnancy. She also stated that it would not be fair to the child due to possible birth defects, etc. She has arranged for me to have the invasive surgery in 2 days to remove the baby and I am scared more than ever.

My procedure was 3 weeks ago (Dec 3). 11 days later I had unprotected sex but took plan b the next morning. That fri (16th day mark) I had symptoms of ovulation - discharge, light cramps. I hadn't bled in about a week. This past Monday (19th day mark) I started heavier bleeding bleeding cramps again. I went through 1 tampon a day and now have fatigue with cramps.
Anyway, I'm thinking out loud here:
Could I have ovulated around the 2 week mark (just after plan b) and the bleeding is caused by my ovaries adjusting? Would plan b still affecting my hormones 10 days later and is the culprit behind my bleeding/cramps? Finally, is it possible an egg has been fertilized (pregnant) although I've bled semi heavily since then?
I'm aware having an abortion will throw your body out of wack for some time- so the plan b on top of it makes for complete hormonal/uterine chaos.

I m 34 yrs and I have missed my periods by 12 days and I felt I m pregnant, becoz I am experiencing nausea and the other symptoms . To confirm my doubt, I did the pregnancy test at home today morning and the result is positive.
I already have a 2 yr old baby .We want to take care of her and also I have joined my husband here in USA after 2. My husband and I agree to abort it. WHY?? Because we are not prepared for another baby as of the moment.
I don’t want to see a doctor, since I'm afraid to surgical abortion.

I am five weeks pregnant, I did a sonogram and it was implanted in right place. I've tried to terminate it with Cytotec three doses of 4 pills of 200 mcg orally (under the tongue for 30 mins before swallow) after every 3 hours. Have experienced cramps a very little red spotting. 24 hours later, i've expelled a little bit of brown clot, and two days after another piece of clot. But no bleeding at all. Does that mean that i need to repeat the dosis, if so, should i insert it vaginally?. Or should i have another sonogram to confirm that?. This is an illegal procedure in my country, and unfortunately cannot keep the baby.

I just found out I was pregnant when I was 9 weeks and 1day along. I barely know the father of the child and unsure of everything. A lot of factors had made me decide to end the pregnancy. The search for cytotec ain't easy in our country . it took a very long time b4 i got the meds. it was October 2014 and I was already on my 3rd month when I took the meds. first attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal of 200mg. the following morning I had blood in my urine and a small blood clot came out. after 2days I went to the doctor to have some checkup and found put that my pregnancy still continued. Abortion is illegal in our country so I did not tell the doctor about it . 2nd attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal failed. 3rd attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal still failed. then last attempt because I only got 10 pills in total: 2 oral and 2 vaginal this time also failed. but on the last attempt I was shivering. the interval in doing these procedures took days.
Still, my pregnancy did not end. And I could still feel it alive inside and moving.
Later when I was 4 months along already , we went to an abortionist that massages the stomach and abortion can occur. But I was far along the pregnancy that massaging it is no longer effective but it makes the fetus dizzy and if used with meds it can cause labor .
Took us long to buy cytotec again now only 4tabs . since its very expensive and we are short on cash sad to say. I also took other pills that are used also for abortion but in my case they are only mild and can cause dizziness with fetus.
then the procedure was 2 oral 2 vaginal. 800 mg in total..
Sadly, it still failed.
later, i knew that the cytotec i took was not strong enough . and there is this cytotec pill available in the market that is pink in color and is 500mg ..
I will be taking it 2 oral 2 vaginal . and I hope it will work now. because I made a wrong decision in doing abortion int he first place. and its too late to stop because im afraid the fetus may now have abnormalities. Now I need to continue this and I hope its gonna work.

About 6 weeks ago I had a medicinal abortion. I bled for two weeks straight, then stopped for two weeks and started again, which according to everyone was normal. After the 5-6 days of my period, it stopped again, but then a day later I started to get a brown discharge and I've been getting it for the past week (so that's a total of 14 days of something coming out). I heard this too was normal. However, I have been suffering from hemorrhoids and constipation for the 4-5 months (even b4 my pregnancy) and today when I had to go to the bathroom my hemorrhoids acted up and I strained, like an hour later I went to change my pad and I was literally bleeding (red) again. Now I understand that the brown discharge and on and off bleeding is normal, but is it possible that by straining I am actually preventing my uterus from healing?

I have recently really been going through a tough time. I found out I was pregnant last week and decided I have to go through with an abortion. I did not plan on a pregnancy hence my use of contraception which failed me. I'm 21 and still live with my parents and in school so I don't have the right time to be having a child. Not only is it the fact that I am getting an abortion (something I never thought I would have to do), but the fact that the man who has a part in this as well is no longer in my life. We just started dating maybe for 2 months, and just a few days ago I caught him lying numerous times about women which is just something I cannot handle. To top it off he has not tried to contact me either knowing that I am going through a tough time with this pregnancy.My days seem to get harder and harder and it's really weighing down on me. I really don't know what to feel or how to cope. Has anyone gone through any tough times regarding an abortion?

I had an abortion when i was 21 years old now that i am 25 i am really to have a baby. My husband and i have been trying now for close to 14 months. I'm really concerned because before my abortion my periods were like clockwork, you could set your watch by them. After my abortion my periods were no longer normal. They were every 33 days one month 14 days apart the next, sometimes not at all. sometimes twice in one month. Every doctor that i've spoke with tells me "it will take sometime for your cycle to get back to normal" How long will it actually take? its been over two years now and my periods are still like this. I have even tried taking birth control pills to help regulate my cycles and nothing seems to help. Which is making it more difficult to conceive because i have no idea when im ovulating, or if i am even ovulating. I have even tried charting my BBT and buying a fertility monitor and Nothing seems to help at all. My husband has even had fertility exams and tests and they are all NORMAL?

how fertile is a women after an abortion

I had an abortion on June 2nd 2012. From the next day, I had unprotected sex with my bf everyday for 7 days, it was more of a comfort and consolation thing than anything else. The doctor told me that I could get pregnant again as early as 2 weeks after the abortion, but I want to know if it's likely or possible cause i'd be more fertile, to be pregnant. He didn't ejaculate inside of me, but there's always a chance of pre-cum. I haven't had my period yet, and it's been 30 days. I also took a home pregnancy test and results are negative. But I want to be pregnant because I regret having an abortion so much, and if I am pregnant, I want to keep it. I just want to know, it is possible? is it likely?

I had a medical abortion about 24 days ago today, they said my baby wouldn't survive with the condition he had and that I had to make a decision. It wasn't easy but I did. The consultant said that he wouldn't make half term and then I would have to give normal birth to a stillborn baby! Why do I feel so guilty for what I have done?
My husband and I have been having intercourse and I am not exactly sure when my cycle will return. I so wish the situation was happy and normal. Can anyone give me some feedback on how your cycle works after this situation.

On february 6th I started a medicated abortion at planned parenthood. Then a week later I went for my follow up appointment on february 14th. Everything was fine, and they injected me with my choice of birth control, depo provera, that day. Well of course it was Valentine's day, and the physician said it was okay to have sex again. I wasn't intending on it but me and my boyfriend ended up having sex that day without a condom, and he accidently came inside of me. I feel so stupid because my physician didn't tell me how long it would take for the depo provera to take effect, and I forgot to ask because of my nervousness. My question is that if it was possible I was ovulating and that I could get pregnant again?
