I had an abortion and I don't regret it. It was a hard decision but one I knew I would make. My boyfriend was very supportive and continues to be. I knew I was not ready to have a child and I'm glad I've had more time to grow, so I can be the best parent I can be when the time comes.

with medicines

It was alright overall, I had a couple of mix ups with appointment times at the clinic I went to that added stress but the pain was manageable with the medicines I was given. I wasn't prepared for the length of time it would take to feel physically normal again, it was over a week before I stopped feeling uneasy.

How did other people react to your abortion?

I've only told my boyfriend and he was very supportive in my decision and would have been no matter what I chose. It's been hard for me to have gone through it without telling anyone else and I worry that it's hard on him being my only outlet.
