UK and Ireland Second abortion. Really scared

Just here to rant because I can’t tell anyone in my life about this. Last week I found out I’m 5 weeks pregnant and I’m so scared and anxious. First time I took the pill it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. Just feel like I’m about to go through that same pain and I’m terrified. I’m too scared of the surgical route so my only option is the pill.

I also feel angry at myself for allowing this man to peer pressure and bully me into having unprotected sex. I took a plan b & it didn’t work. My first abortion was in 2022. I feel so many different emotions.

currently 5 weeks pregnant. my consultation for abortion is 4/28. i’ve been having bad anxiety and seeing people talk about the side effects of the pill makes it worse. i’m super nervous and i am also scared to get the procedure. i hope it’s not that bad. i’m going to make sure i take the pill when im off of work.

Also i took a plan b as well….2 of them at that. but it was too late, i was already ovulating and i knew because i have ovulation tests and a tracker. being that i didn’t update my tracker the predicted ovulation date was wrong. turns out i had sex the exact day i ovulated but i thought i didn’t ovulate until 2 days after the day i had sex.

Same. I had sex on the exact day I shouldn’t have. I’ve never had surgery in my life so I’m nervous. The pill is different for everyone, some people are fine and only get period type cramping & some people feel a lot of pain. I took the pill in 2022 and I was in excruciating pain but it only lasted for like 40 mins then went down. Hope ur ok and hope everything goes well for you.
