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.

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.

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.
