medical abortion. you had no choice. if it makes you feel easier, you can say d and c because they are very similar procedures, you just have more done during the d and c. But i also agree with mapes too, you could just say you lost the baby. it is totallt your choice but you 100% do not have to say "i had an abortion." i am sorry for your loss. i know how you feel, i had 2 missed MC's and 2 d and c's in a 5 month timespan. but do not give up hope becaus enow here i stand 18 weeks along with a healthy baby boy growing inside.
YES! I wish there was a post for those who have lost a child but are now ready to move on and try again. I am healthy and ready and anxious, but there is no forum to really discuss that. I have grieved and am now ready to move on. I don't think it happened for me this month, I am not due until Oct. 2, but I really think I would know. I didn't know the last time because we gave up after years of trying so I didn't associate all the symptoms for a LONG time. I say we were trying for years but I had no idea about the very limited time there was in a month to concieve. In school they act like if you kiss a boy you can get pregnant! This time we are doing the ovulation tests and everything and still nothing...
I would just say that I lost my baby. Most people are just casually asking, and your closer friends will actually ask for the explanation. Either way, you are grieving for a child you already wanted and loved. I understand about the frustration about wanting to be pregnant. We had a D&C in August after a miscarriage, so we are anxious to ttc this month. I think we should start a post for those hoping to get pregnant this month!!!
I'm sorry for your lost and i hope you blossom again soon. To answer your question i would say it was a medical abortion, sorry. Good luck trying again.
