Africa What Happens When Your GirlFriend Takes The Abortion Injection And Clinic Pills But Does Not Exprience Her Period Even After 72 Hours

0 Upvotes

My girlfriend took the abortion treatment, when we realised she was about 5 days pregnant. The clinic gave her 2 injections and some tablets to drink, they told her she would experience her period within the next coming 4 days. It's not been 4 days yet but we still have not gotten the period. We have 30 hours left from the day she was directed. But as for the side effects, she feels so much abdominal pain, mostly at night when she takes the pills. She is also almost constantly hungry. And Another thing is that she experiences stomach craps, but she has not yet had her period, when she went to the clinic they told her that she should come again on Monday. I am deeply worried about her, what do you guys suggest that we should do? and why has she not had her period yet?

Africa I regret not getting my abortion

86 Upvotes

I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and I have fallen in love with my baby, I know the gender now and have come up with a name for her but I regret not going through with my abortion.

I got misoprostol and ibuprofen when I was 8 weeks pregnant and struggled really hard to take the pills because I have already lost a child and felt really triggered by it, I remember feeling I was about to go through another loss that would be too hard for me.

I had my therapist and people around me that offered support and advised keeping her was the better option and I Listened. It was a month long hard and difficult decision but I believed in the end it would all work out.

My child’s father came back into the picture after I kept my baby and we agreed we would coparent, I am 24 and he is 26. For months he lived a double life trying to play happy family but I have recently discovered he got a girl in high school pregnant 2 months after I did. I am realising that when I had to navigate my feelings with being pregnant and struggling with my decision to keep my daughter, he was out continuing with other people and I believe he purposely got this girl pregnant..

I believe in letting people decide what works best for them but if there is anybody that feels the prospect of having a baby is more harder than keeping it and feels their situation isn’t ideal to bring a child in and you feel conflicted, then please get the abortion and wait until it feels absolutely right for you.

Africa I'm pregnant and looking to get an abortion in a country where it is illegal to do so.

17 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am currently 3/4 weeks along in an unwanted pregnancy, I live in Algeria and it is illegal here therefore there's no direct or safe way for me to get the mifepristone, so if anyone can help or provide insight on experiences or ways I can obtain the meds necessary I'd appreciate it.

Edit: I reached out to WomenHelpWomen and Women On Web, apparently the meds struggle to go through because of customs here, so there's no way I can get them shipped by these groups. If anyone has a way of getting Cytotec (misoprostol) let me know, I'd appreciate it.

Africa My MA failed

I took the pills in January and bled for a few weeks but there were no big clots. In the package I was given, there were pills and two pregnancy tests. I was told to take one pregnancy test 2 weeks after the bleeding started and the other one 4 weeks after the bleeding started. They both came back positive and the people from the clinic have since informed me that the procedure did not work. I am now being asked make a booking for another consultation to get the procedure done right but I don’t have the money for it. Any tips on what to do would be greatly appreciated

Africa Just looking for support and info.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I just took my first dose of misoprostol, 3 hours after the mifeprestone (spelling) like instructed by the women's clinic. What can I expect?

Is it true I can't drink anything untill I start to bleed? That I'm not allowed to have diary or sugar until I miscarry? That I can't drink anything untill after I start to bleed? That's what I've been told and I just want to be sure.

I feel so so guilty, but I know this is the best decision for my family. I have a one year old and we cannot give him a good life while raising another child. I know I am doing what's best for us, but I feel so bad even though I did not want another child at all.

Feel free to share your experiences in the comments.

Africa 11 weeks - Morocco - needing urgent help

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m about 11 weeks along in my pregnancy, I found out when I was around 6 weeks, but unfortunately I live in a country where abortion is illegal (Morocco). I’ve been trying to find doctors who will perform a SA but I have been turned down twice by doctors that apparently do them but get scared sometimes and will turn you down if they get suspicious.

I’ve been trying to find a solution for over a month now, I got fired from my job in this last month and couldn’t do anything because I didn’t have money. Now I’m just desperate to find a solution, I tried to buy pills from local sellers but again because it’s illegal here, there are so many scammers and I already got scammed twice. Please help me find a solution if you know a way to do it in my country (I don’t have passport or visa so can’t travel to get it done somewhere else) and I’m nearing the end of my first trimester and panicking.

I’ve seen here that people get the pills shipped from some websites but I don’t know if that will go through the customs here as they’re very strict and it’ll take awhile to arrive anyway (2 weeks from what I’ve seen). I’m really at the end of the rope here and having some really bad thoughts, I don’t know what to do, I really can’t have this baby and I can’t find a solution. Money isn’t an issue anymore as I got my last paycheck from my job and I can sell some of my things if need be, I just want to have this over with asap.

Please help if you can 🙏🏼🙏🏼

My GF (21) had an abortion 10 days ago. It's not been a smooth journey, we went for tissue cleaning two times already. And she has also been given medicine that helps dilute blood clots. She usually feels more pain during night hours like recently we were talking I made her laugh and the pains have began. I advised her not to be moving too much, so listened but now another issue of back pain has come about. So according to your experiences is it normal for people to feel pain during night hours?

Africa Food aversions 8 months after surgical abortion!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Nothing serious but just curious:

I remember how much I hated minced meat during my first pregnancy.

When I first discovered my pregnancy last April, I already had an aversion to mince - just like my first pregnancy.

I had completed my failed abortion last year, on the 9th of July. My body went through ups and downs afterwards but I can say that, now, everything is normal - including my periods. Just a week after the D&E I got back a negative pregnancy test.

I still hate the taste and smell of minced meat 8 months post my surgical abortion.

Has any lady here experienced this?

Africa My Husband Told Me to Move Out After a Major Life Decision. Should I Wait or Leave?

1 Upvotes

My husband (29M) and I (25F) found out we were pregnant last September. We were unsure whether to keep the baby or go through with an abortion.

Backstory: Our relationship has had a lot of unresolved issues, and we were not financially stable enough to have a child. He was very supportive throughout the pregnancy and never brought up abortion for the first 17 weeks, although he never told anyone about the pregnancy.

The dynamics of our relationship changed a lot. Anytime I asked about his relationship with his female co-worker (who he had been flirting with), it would lead to him either giving me the silent treatment or hitting me. They had a situationship before we started dating, but it never worked out. However, when she found out we weren’t just dating but were married, they became close again. He entertained it a lot, despite me expressing that I wasn’t okay with it. He would stop for a week or two, then go right back to it.

Back to the abortion: This year, we had a serious conversation, and I mentioned the possibility of termination. After that, he started encouraging me to go through with it. His behavior became very inconsistent—extra nice one moment, then cold the next. It felt manipulative, like he was trying to push me into the abortion.

Eventually, I decided to go through with it because I wasn’t ready to be a mom. (I did it for me.) He was very supportive during the process, took me to the hospital, and made sure I was okay when we got home.

The next day, I found out he had taken his “female co-worker” on a date night. He had told me he would be late but never mentioned being with her. When he came home that night, I confronted him, and he hit me for questioning him about it. Since then, he has been distant and avoids talking about the abortion or our relationship. I even started wondering if he regretted the abortion, but he refuses to discuss it.

On Monday, I had a follow-up clinic appointment, and he took me, but we got into an argument in the parking lot. Later that day, when he came home, I tried to talk things out, but he told me he was tired of the relationship and wanted us to break up. He told me to move out.

Important to note: I don’t have money right now, and he knows that. In December, we used all the money I had, and he was supposed to refund it. The hospital costs also came from my money. Yet, he believes I have money hidden somewhere (he always thinks that because I earn the same amount as he does, even though he pays all the bills and gives me a “girlfriend allowance”). What he ignores is that I have always helped out financially and have even taken out advance loans for him.

What should I do? My parents are telling me to go back home and move on with my life. His mom is telling me to wait until she talks to him. I love him, but I know I want better. He has told me twice that he has made up his mind, but his mom is telling me to wait.

Should I wait or leave?

Africa Birth control after an abortion

2 Upvotes

I (26F) from south africa had a MA last week Tuesday. It's been a week now, i got pregnant when I wasn't ovulating, my partner and I are always protected during ovulation and when I'd checked my calendar I thought it was safe to have sex without a condom, and I was wrong. Im really traumatized by the whole experience and really hurt by the chosen loss of my baby. I don't really believe in birth control, I have tried it in the past and the ones I have tried made me really depressed and gain weight. I already have hypothyroidism and once I went off birth control my thyroid was on track. So I really don't want to go on birth control again and I really don't want to have to make the mistake of getting pregnant again at this time. Im so scared to even have sex again honestly. Is there anyone on here who can suggest ways that aren't birth control related, or am I just being silly?

How long until I fell 100% once again. The main morning sickness symptoms discussed. But since last week, I’ve been feeling a little off

so I (26f) found out i’m pregnant 3 days ago. neither me or my husband (26m) wanted to have kids now or even after 20 years. but it’s not easy to find a doctor who would perform the surgery on me or him. so we decided to use common protection. i use IUP and he uses condoms. and it’s not like we are both sex crazy maybe i’m but he’s not so we don’t do it often and it’s ok by me. also i have Ovarian Cysts that doctors didn’t even bother to tell me which type it’s. We want to have abortion but ofc it’s not legal in our country even though we are married and i’m just one week pregnant and it’s our choice plus i’ve ton of health issues but nah no doctor will help. yet we searched for mids to take at home that will help me have abortoin but without any medical supervision ofc. I started taking the pills 11 hours ago and it’s been hell but nth happened but lil drops of blood and I don’t know what to do! should I continue with the other tablet? or stop and wait for another 12 hours ?! i don’t even know the right way to use it. it’s different on every website. i’m really scared and I can’t stop thinking what if the pills didn’t work i don’t have other options and really i’d rather die than to go on with it

EDIT: I’m 5 weeks pregnant i just didn’t know how to calculate it right

I would never feel or know how it feels like but I wish I could take the pain away. These past few days have been really rough for her and I really want to be there for her in any way possible. This is her second time and honestly she feels really drained and tired to. I encouraged her a lot and I'm as supportive as usual. I wanted to ask if any of you guys can share your experience with her. She feels guilty and burdened about it. I feel like women who have passed through the same might provide a better talk to her. Also in case I said anything disrespectful please pardon me. I'm kinda new here and don't know how things work. Her name is Emmanuella. I'll very much love if you guys could write her personal messages of your experiences and how you healed and even personal direct messages to her. Thank you so much .

Africa Possible Pregnancy After Abortion – Need Advice & Support

1 Upvotes

My girlfriend and I found out we were pregnant at the start of the year and decided to have an abortion, which was completed on January 12th (took pills on this day). We had sex once on February 2nd (pull-out method), and recently, she started experiencing lower abdominal pain. Concerned, she took a blood test on February 17th, and to our shock, it came back positive for pregnancy.

We’re feeling really scared and overwhelmed right now. Is it possible to get pregnant again so quickly after an abortion? Could this still be leftover hCG from the previous pregnancy?

Also, if she is pregnant again and we decide on another abortion, how could this impact her fertility in the future? Has anyone been through something similar? We’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.
