I think I'm pregnant - I can use support

I drunkenly hooked up with a friend of mine, and we were too messed up to use protection. I have not been on the pill for 6 months because I have not been having sex.

My period is a week late, and today I took an EPT and it came out positive. I am sick to my stomach; I don't know what to do. There is no one I can talk to about this. I am away at law school, in a strange state, no friends near me, and I feel utterly alone.

I know I have to call Planned Parenthood soon and see about a medical abortion. Has anyone here had one of these? How did it go? I can't believe I was so stupid. I want to cry! There is no way I can have a child right now, and I would never have one like this. I think a baby deserves married parents in a loving relationship, who are financially stable, and ready.

Can anyone give me some support? :(

I'm sure that you will have many tell you that you should not have an abortion.  You are on a pro-pregancy forum where people are trying to get pregnant so expect pro-life responses.  I understand that  you are in a bad situation and it happens.  I would encourage you to obtain as much information you can about all of your options.  I'm sure you already know this, but there are so many couples who would want to adopt your baby and be willing to pay all of your expenses.  My brother and I were both adopted but I get it.  You have to be willing to be pregnant and that is not an easy decision to make.  If you have an abortion, no one will ever have to know what happened as opposed to carrying the baby to term where everyone will know that you had a baby.  

Most importantly, talk to some people that have had abortions.  I have had several friends who have had abortions and say that it was the hardest, worst thing they had ever done and lived a life of regrets afterwards.  Not to say that is everyone's experience, but it is for some of my friends.  

You have time to research and make an informed decision.
