Please reconsider. The emotional repercussions of a deliberate act of causing an abortion (whether you do something to yourself or have a procedure is still considered abortion) will last you a lifetime, you will always remember it and wonder what could have been.
There are millions of couples out there who want children badly and are unable to produce their own. Consider adoption.

It's great that you were using protection, though you might want to talk to a doctor about what method, or adding another method on top of your current one, for next time.
If you intentional end your own pregnancy, it's an abortion. Sadly, there's no way around that definition or word. This is a choice you'll have to make. There are ways to force a miscarriage at home, but I recommend against them because they're not as safe.
Natural miscarriages are actually -really- common. Go check out the stats on it sometime, a huge number of pregnancies naturally miscarry before women even realize they're pregnant. Wikipedia (okay, not the best source, but I'm not calling up my 9 month pregnant friend to get the book she found the stats in off of her) has the miscarry rate at 25% in the first 6 weeks... with an additional 8% per month after that until the viable period.
Please let this be your own choice. No one on this board is going to raise a second child for you, so no one on this board has a say in how you proceed. Having an abortion may emotionally traumatize you, or it may not, the only person who knows how you will respond is you, and only if you're really honest with yourself.
If the baby is perfectly healthy, and white, then yes, there are plenty of families eager to adopt. A baby with any kind of medical problem? A baby of another race? Not as popular with adoptive couples as people would like you to think. There are a lot of shallow people in this world...

You are getting ahead of yourself. Sounds like you don't know if you are even pregnant or not. You may not be! So first find out if you are pregnant. If you are, the ONLY way you end a pregnancy is by ABORTION.
You can't end pregnancy without it being abortion.
Even if you purposely miscarry, its an abortion.

An abortion is defined as "termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus".
This termination can be made by nature if the embryo/fetus is not viable (miscarriage) or can be done by humans deliberately (i.e., surgical abortion) or accidentally (i.e., vehicle accident result in fetal death and delivery, also called a "stillbirth").
However the pregnancy is ended, if the baby is not born alive, you can call it an abortion.
Abortion has been legal in the United States since 1973 (the states make this decision themselves) but I have not yet met a women who has had a medical abortion who does not suffer some regret, remorse, anger, confusion, or another negative emotion. This may not occur immediately afterward; sometimes it remains hidden for years.
If you are pregnant and are not ready to be a mother, someone else is ready. Please consider adoption.

There really isn't a way - if it's not meant to be you will miscarry[but unlikely] - This is why they legalized abortion for people who tired to end an unwanted pregnancy and harmed them-self---
often resulting in death or injury.
The morning after pill is effective but it has to be used right after you have intercourse -
Speak to someone at Planned Parenthood - it's a very professional place that will offer you all sorts of
support and options that are healthy -

First of all, find out for sure if you're pregnant or not. Then sit down with your husband and discuss your options. There is not a way to end pregnancy without abortion.

you know im not trying to judge you or anything but if you didnt want a a baby then why would you have sex unprotected. there are all kinds of pills and condoms and other stuff out there that you could have used instead you are going to kill a innocent little sweet child that can come into this world and may be rule it oneday. i just dont understand kids these days, and yes i called you a kid because only a kid {and i dont care if your 30} would do something like that. i will pray for you and hopefully you will come to your senses .

You can't.
The morning after pill does not cause a miscarriage.
It prevents the egg from attaching to the uterine wall.
