I was 21 years old. I actually had just stopped using Birth Control due to the unknown side effects. My boyfriend and I were together for about 4 months at this time. One day I had terrible cramps, laying in the fetal position from the pain. It was abnormal, I knew it was off. I took a test and I was pregnant. Also, I did get my period.
Anyways. I went to Planned Parenthood to figure out how to get rid of it. We both knew we did not want a child. We were both young, yes 21 is young. He was also abusive. PP was very amazing, accommodating with no judgement.
