When i found out i was pregnant my boyfriend and i went into complete shock. We both thought we were so careful, but i guess it only takes one slip up. We immediately started looking up abortion clinics and scheduled a consultation for the following monday. Me as a 15 year old and him being only 2 years older both in highschool, neither having a job or anything stable, abortion was the only option. I’ve always been sorta against abortion, but in our case it was for the better. I’ve taken a new understanding to teen pregnancy. I’ll never forget the look on this lady’s face in the waiting room at the gynecologist, it was pure disgust. We found out i was about 6 weeks pregnant at the time and honestly that was so shocking since i had got my period less then 5 weeks before that. The nurse recommended the abortion pill since it would be less traumatic. Lets not forget about this precious child i was about to kill… i cried every night. I wanted to keep him or her so bad but it simply wasn’t an option. I never told my boyfriend this but i’m really heartbroken. On that wednesday i took the second step of the pill. The pain was terrible, it felt like my period but 100x worse. Probably one of the worst days of my life. That was only 4 days ago and i’m worried i might be a statistic, one of those 9 out of 100 women in which medical abortion doesn’t work. On the 15th we have another appointment to see how everything went and i’m completely scared it didn’t work. I am now a statistic regardless of the abortion process. I got pregnant at 15 years old, i’m one of “those” girls. Honestly this is not a joke. The pain and depression i have felt is like no other. In the end i’m glad we’re not keeping the baby. Hopefully in a few years we can try again. I don’t regret my choice at all.
