I found out that I was pregnant on April 19, 2010. I was 4 days late... and I took the plan b so I assumed that it messed up my flow. But something told me to buy a test. During my lunch break, I got the test, and it was positive. I was freaking out. I was crying at work. I told the guy that I last slept with and he said he was willing to accept whatever I decide to do. I couldn't keep it. I knew that I wouldn't be able to take care of it. I want my child to live a life, I knew I couldn't. I was looking at a private doctor that can do the early abortion, but he wasn't available for evaluation for the next 2 months! Greg (changed his name) found this place by typing ""early abortions new york city"" and found this place. At first I was a little iffy. But then looking at planned parenthood while the places are crowded, the crazy mob... I decided to call early options. I told the lady when my period was and she said I might be too early, but she set me up an appointment on monday. The days passed and I was freaking out. I was mostly worried because I was going away to miami for the weekend (the appointment was on 25th.. I was leaving for miami for 30!)
Monday came, and I come in to the office with Greg. Place was small, I never expected this offcie to be a clinic. The receptionist, everyone was amazing! They did the tests, explained everything that was going to happened, what was even more greater was that Greg was by my side the whole time... I asked them if I will recover by the time I go to miami and they told me yes go have fun!!! I was relieved... the procedure happened... the doctor said that I was way too early but she sees a sac so the procedure started. Greg was next to me, held my hand the whole time. I get bad menstrual cramps all my life, but the cramps that I experienced for those couple of seconds were just a little bit worse. But they didn't last long at all! Just couple of seconds. After it was done, I just started to cry. Not tears of regret, but relief.
Sorry for this long story, but it will be worth it. During my visit to the clinic, when I mention to them about me going away to Miami for the weekend, they gave me a travel package for whatever happens to call them and they would tell me what to use in the envelope. When I landed to Miami, I experienced really bad cramps and I started to bleed alot. I called them, answered their questions, and I took the isoprofin (the high dose tynenol, I cant spell) and she told me if it doesnt get better to take a vicodin that came with it. The next day, early in the morning, I got a phone call from the doctor to check up on me!!! I was so suprised. She asked me how I was doing, if the pain was there. I told her that I was feeling so much better!!!
The whole point of this is that they are there for you no matter what. Even though your hundred miles away, they are just a phone call away. To all the girls that are pregnant and dont know where to go, I know your scared... dont be. Everything will be ok. Early Options helped me. And they can help you. I dont know if they remember me, I was the girl that was talking about how excited I am to go to Miami... thank you. You gave my life back again. Oh... and to those nosey people that call people baby killers... IM NOT SORRY!!! MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!!! GET A JOB!!!
Pros: special attention, good listeners, there for you
Cons: nothing con!
