This week I'm going to a clinic to have an abortion done, it will be done with ru-486 procedure which includes misoprostol and I'm afraid it won't work

I think that while you may currently be pregnant, this is the wrong category to post this question in. These women are trying to, or are already pregnant and happy about it. You're really asking a medical question, so that would be the proper category for your question. read more about ru486 here http://www.ru486.org/

I'am at the same stage yet still deciding what to do I'm 21yrs, as far as im concerned some of the spitefull people here are veiwing your story one sided! they all want and have planned and are happy to have a child, where as we are scared, unsure and worried for the out come!
I cant give too much advise as i haven't been through this but i would say ignore people like PCDGirl! She should be banned! the others are contents and happy, you need to do what you think is right for you and your situation if its the wrong time and your not ready thats fine you've made you choice! just get advise of the Drs and Nurses they'll know best! Don't let anyone change you mind or pressure you into doing anything! YOUR LIFE, YOUR CHOICE YOUR BED TO LYING!
As far as some are concerned on this site! Are you tapped in the head! Do you seriously think people are out to get pregnant and then have an abortion!! Your mad! it's either a complete accident or in SOME cases foolish! but other than that you cannot tell a person to "If you dont want to get pregnant dont have sex" ACCIDENTS HAPPEN PEOPLE!!!!!

You might want to talk to the doctors at the clinic before deciding on a procedure. It's entirely possible that it's still too early to have a surgical procedure done (most practitioners will not perform them prior to 12 weeks), but if chemically induced has not worked as of yet (normally, we see them work in a matter of days) this may be the method that will work better for you.
As for the amount of negativity that has come across on your question, abortion is a difficult thing to do. I am glad that you have made a decision, and there are many support groups available to help you if you have any kind of psychological issues afterwards. Seek them out if necessary. Don't be afraid of them. There are a lot of people who have trod the same path at one point or another during the course of their lives.

A lot of these women are right in what they say about it being wrong, but that doesn't mean I agree with how they present their opinion. I think people are responsible for everything that they do, it's not unrealistic, it's the truth. If you aren't in the position to have a baby or don't want a baby, please take the precautions to make sure you don't concieve becuase nobody knows what level of consciousness a baby has and how soon it gets it. Essentialy you are killing someone and why? Becuase you didn't make the right decisions? Becuase you didn't think you needed to care? It's just not right. I'm not going to judge your personal case, becuase in some cases where women choose abortion is becuase they have been raped, and I hope that hasn't happened to you. But please don't do this again if this was all a concious decision. Some women have multiple abortions becuase they're too uneducated or ignorantly hard headed and just do what they want becuase they can. This is hard on your body as well, some women have trouble concieving after abortions. If it doesn't work, consider yourself lucky and that everything happens for a reason that you might not understand at this point in time, but love the child and raise him/her to be a beautiful and good person and you'll see later what it was all for. I'm not going to say "oh it's becuase of god" because I'm not religious, but if you are, apply this to your faith and you may find your answers there.

I think you are very brave coming on to a site and express that you are going to have an abortion, i have 7 children and i have had 7 miscarriages, but that doesn't me the right to judge nor should anyone else, what is better a baby that is not wanted or an abortion and that baby's soul has a chance to come back at a later date or now to someone that wants it, try not to think about it as murder when we die our soul doesn't it just leaves the body,
as the last post said if you have any concerns at all then just tell them, but one thing i must ask is the pill taking necessary because all that will do is bring on an abortion and basically you have to go through a miscarriage, you still have a d and c afterwards to remove anthing left behind, me personally i would go in have the operation and then get on with your life, it will be hard as it is why put yourself through more pain than you need, why punish yourself, are you worried about it not working because you dont really want the abortion or because you have to just sit around and wait, not necessary deal with it asap, have the abortion or dont but dont put yourself through any unnecessary as last post said it is really painful anyway,
take care and be safe

I just want to extend my support to you. Please disregard all of the extremely rude and insensitive people here. Please visit this website to gain more information.
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-control-pregnancy/abortion/procedures.htm
The misoprostol cannot be taken alone to end a pregnancy. This drug only softens the cervix and causes the uterus to contract and empty. You need either mifepristone or methotrexate (which is the RU-486) before hand to actually end the pregnancy.
A medication abortion is between 92–97 percent effective. Within two weeks you will have a checkup to make sure that the procedure worked, that you are no longer pregnant and that your uterus is empty. If not than you will have to have a D&C done.
Hope that helps. Feel free to email me if you need to talk or have any further questions. Do not feel guilty and do not let others make you feel guilty. You will most likely experience some grief, deal with these feeling, but don't let them overtake you. It never hurts to seek counseling. This is a very hard decision that most people simply don't understand. I hope the information helps. Best wishes and take care.

First and foremost i am not going to say what your doing is right or wrong. Its a choice that alot of women make everyday. I will say that i went through the adoption process and its not all crap as some people say on here. I got to choose the family that my son went to go live his life with. I met them while i was still pregnant, got to know them, and that made my descion a heck of alot easier.
Alright that being said, alot of abortion procedures are safe and successful with the odd one or two not being so successful. Have a look at the clinic you are going to and speak to the doctor that is going to perform the procedure. Let them know of your fears and doubts. The doctor shouldnt push you to have one yet should fully inform you of the decsion your about to make. Let you know all the risks and side affects. Also please get some councelling after this abortion. Alot of times women talk themselves into doing it when in fact they truly dont want to. Talking to someone you trust will help with your decsion.

Misoprostol does not always kill the baby and does not always cause birth defects. In fact, it is sometimes used to induce labor in women who are 9 months pregnant! Your womb is designed to protect your baby, and it sounds like in this case it did. Please keep your baby safe. God has given you another chance to do the right thing and let your baby live. It is the only moral thing to do at this point. If you'd like, you can go to a crisis pregnancy center (see links below), where they will be able to arrange for you to have an ultrasound to make sure your baby is okay.

Do what you feel is best for yourself and your future.
Many people don't fully understand the resulting aftermath of having an unwanted child.
Even if you put the baby up for adoption there is no guarantee that the child will go to a good home and you will always wonder about it.
I dare anyone who answered so rudely to try and have a baby and then give it up for adoption or worse yet keep the baby while you are young and don't even have much of a future planned for yourself, let alone a baby.
Don't worry about the abortion, I am sure the clinic will do their best to make sure you are healthy and well after all has been said and done.
PS. Don't post abortion questions on this site, people who respond don't fully understand both sides of the argument and will impose their nasty and one sided view point aimed at hurting your feelings.
18 years ago my best friend in school had a baby when she was 16 and her life is ruined - she now works in a Rite Aid store and has since had 3 more kids that she can't afford to support.
She was a fantastic student and had a bright future until she had to leave high school to go and find a job to support her baby.

Sorry about all the inconsiderate people on here. Shame on all of you, like her life doesn't suck enough right now she does not need people calling her names. Do any of you know a single thing about her???? Was she a virgin and there for not on BC when she got RAPED. Think about stuff like that before you start putting people down. This should be a supportive place. I am sorry, I wish you the best. I am sorry. For more information on ru-486 and other abortion issues I would recommend www.abortionclinic.org and www.nrlc.org They are good sites that will give you good medical info on abortion. Again I wish you the best and if possible try to prevent further unwanted pregnancies, I don't know your situation and I will not judge you. Jesus please forgive those who have judged her, for they know not what they do.

As someone who had an abortion, and someone who was raised believeing they were wrong, I hear you. Abortions are scary things to have happen. And before i have some pro-lifer reaming me out, I dont usually agree with abortion, and i definitely always said i wouldnt have one myself. But, while even on the pill, i got pregnant. And it was not the right time for me to have a child. My boyfriend and i sat down, took a serious look at our living expenses, and our lives, and decided we simply were not ready. Its not that i was being irresponsible, it simply happened.
I went and had the abortion, and honestly, i cried during the whole thing. Not from pain, but from guilt. I feel like hell. But, i know it is the best choice. No child would have a good life the way my life is right now, and I refuse to put my child up for adoption, there are too many children in limbo in adoptions centers right now.
Point is: While you're at the clinic, talk to the people there about your fears. They will help you decide what is the best choice of abortion for you. And yes, vaccuum abortion hurts. It hurts bad, and the cramping sucks too. But i was okay with just a small amount of lidocain and a muscle relaxer.
Dont worry about what others will think of you. This is your body and your choice. I did what i had to, and i will not be made to feel badly by others due to it. I WAS thinking about the consequences, and i WAS being responsible. Sometimes, things just happen. And you have to roll with the punches.
Good Luck, and GOD BLESS!!! (because if you want to look at it that way, god will forgive anyone who wants forgiveness, so dont worry about that either!)
