Had an abortion, broke up the same day and i’m planning to travel alone. Would you recommend going or not?
I had an abortion yesterday (pills are illegal where I live). so I went with the injection method — mifepristone (inserted) and misoprostol (injection). I bled heavily yesterday with a lot of pain. Day two (today) I have minimum blood and pain has gone down significantly. I still feel exhausted and i’m not in good condition. I’ve been resting at home.
I told my clinic i have plans for a vacation via airplane 6hr flight this coming Wednesday and they said I can travel but there is a 5% chance of complications such as bleeding. My pregnancy was not an ectopic so the risk of complications is much lower. I was 4 weeks and 5 days along. I have a follow up appointment the week after I get back.
Would it be okay to travel alone? Literally going to rest and relax. Or would it be wiser to cancel and wait until I heal fully?
This whole process has been overwhelming and emotional. I also broke up with my partner the day of the abortion so i’ve been mourning two losses at the same time. I feel so helpless and alone but I also want to do something for myself. I’m not sure if going on a vacation is the best thing to do although I really want to. The vacation has already been booked and I planned to go with my now ex but I want to go at least by myself.
Anyone with a similar experience? Also when will the bleeding, hormonal shifts and overall condition get better?
