I'm sorry you have had to deal with so much from them! Does that medication interfere with birth control? <BR/><BR/>For me, I hardly noticed any change in my uterus because I was only at about 5 weeks when I had my abortion. <BR/><BR/>Are there any other readers who can answer her question or throw their 2 cents in?AbortionBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071560896386570743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922224575926294892.post-22971095081537377382008-12-29T07:48:00.000-08:002008-12-29T07:48:00.000-08:00Hi..

I want to thank you for sharing your story with us..I have ovarian cysts that wont go down and I was on lupron that was supposed to shrink them but it didnt and on top of it I got pregnant from it..I'm supposed to get a hysterometcy next summer! I just had an abortion at almost 8 weeks, emotionally its rough, but I know I did the right thing..Hey I have a question for you.. How long does it take for your uterus to shrink back down to non-pregnancy size? Good luck to you and I hope your cysts (if you have them) will go away on its own instead of having to have surgery like me!<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>PatriceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922224575926294892.post-13553506281888149562008-12-28T17:11:00.000-08:002008-12-28T17:11:00.000-08:00Thanks placenta sandwich!

PASS is a non-medical abbreviation that anti-abortion folks are hoping will get into the mainstream by paralleling the language of post-partum depression on the one hand and post-traumatic stress disorder on the other. i don't mean to dismiss feelings of grief or even regret that some women feel after their abortions, but those are valid and legitimate <I>even though</I> there is no "syndrome" to explain them. anti-abortion people want to use the language of PASS in order to bolster their claim that abortion causes psychological damage (both women and their partners can claim PASS, btw). anyway, i think any site that is uncritically a product of the entire PASS framework is probably not a good place to get a broad spectrum of views on abortion experiences. just wanted to say.placenta sandwichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729355361057625131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922224575926294892.post-37794810799818308542008-12-27T14:33:00.000-08:002008-12-27T14:33:00.000-08:00So, it is a little crazy with some people who over...So, it is a little crazy with some people who overly regret their abortions, but if you want to "talk" with other women who have had abortions and all that, a good forum, where everyone is really nice (and sometimes a little too non-judgmental) is passboards.org<BR/><BR/>Also, if you have ovarian cysts, it isn't a total big deal, they are painful, but...most of the time they pop on their own and you might not even feel them. They are normal. Of course, if they don't pop on their own, they sometimes require surgery, but if you are on birth control that usually controls them.<BR/><BR/>Ultrasound techs have a way of freaking people out, I have had the same experience. "Oh, this is a really big mass...I better have the doctor come in and look at it" and it is nothing, I wish they would not say anything, because I think they freak people out for no reason a lot more then they "help".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
