Has anyone gotten an abortion? I’m on birth control, we’re very careful but I’m scared I got pregnant and I can’t do another kid mentally. My first birth was very traumatic as was the pregnancy and I had a high risk of delivering my baby still born. Idk if I can deal with those fears again. I’m not looking to be judged, if you’re going to judge instead of offering real advice then don’t say anything and no, adoption won’t be on my mind because again, very traumatic birth and pregnancy.

I had one a few years ago. I had to travel to a different state and saw a doctor that prescribed me pills and educated me on resources. The people that worked there were the most kind people I have met in my life and helped me a lot. Let me know if you have any questions❤️

If you’re on birth control and being safe you probably have nothing to worry about.
I have not gotten an abortion so I can’t speak on it from experience but, No one needs a reason or explanation for why they decide to get an abortion, but having a traumatic experience with the first birth is a definite reason too, your heath matters and that sounds really risky.

What kind of birth control are you on? Some types of birth control can cause irregular periods. Also if you think there is a chance you are pregnant then pee on a stick! Better to know instead of worry.

If you skipped a period you can absolutely test now! Most pregnancy tests can detect a pregnancy the day after your missed your period. Roughly 14 days after ovulation. Also with Junel fe nausea is one of the side effects of the birth control. Which if you have been taking consistently you shouldn't have anything to worry about!
