My partner and I were living in different cities and struggling through a long distance relationship. I had just taken a dream job as a trauma nurse at a respected hospital and did not want to move to him at the time. I was on the Nuva ring. I discovered I was 3 weeks pregnant after approximately a week of vomiting. I went to an incredible supportive and progressive women’s health clinic, and chose a medical abortion. It was painful and unpleasant for about a day. I don’t regret it one bit and am beyond grateful for and aware of my privilege, my access to on demand abortion. I feel no guilt, no shame, and want every woman on earth to be afforded this fundamental right.
