(Pregnancy Help News<\/a>) A young woman was so thankful for the assistance and support she received from a Pittsburgh, Pa. pregnancy help medical clinic and the Abortion Pill Rescue Network that she was moved to share her story.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are the chances you\u2019ll find somebody who wants to help you?\u201d Ashley said.<\/p>\n

Just out of high school last year, Ashley was focused on partying. When she began to regularly feel tired, she had no idea she was pregnant.<\/p>\n

After taking a pregnancy test and getting a positive result, she was frightened.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike this isn’t a joke,\u201d Ashley said. \u201cThis is real. I was scared. I’m a kid. I’m a kid about to have a kid. How do you do that?\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

When Ashley told the child\u2019s father, he urged her to have an abortion. She didn\u2019t want to, but eventually conceded.<\/p>\n

She had an appointment for a chemical abortion at seven weeks and five days gestation. The abortion facility staff told her that once she took the first abortion pill, it would block her hormones, and her baby would stop growing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then you go home, and you finish it at home,\u201d Ashley recalled. \u201cAnd I just sat in that waiting room and he was like, \u2018You’re already here. You’re already here. You’re already, here you go. Just do it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The chemical abortion regimen consists of two drugs. The first, mifepristone, blocks progesterone, the natural hormone in a woman\u2019s body necessary to sustain pregnancy. The second drug, misoprostol, taken a day or so later, causes the mother to go into labor and deliver her deceased child.<\/p>\n

Abortion Pill Reversal<\/a> (APR) entails taking progesterone to counter the first abortion drug. If a mom acts quickly enough after taking the first abortion pill, it may be possible to save her unborn child through the APR protocol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then I took the abortion pill,\u201d Ashley said.\u00a0She immediately had regret.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I did the wrong thing,\u201d Ashley said. \u201cAnd I hated that I did that. Is there any way I can take back? Like I can’t take this back. I just killed my baby. That’s scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

She kept telling herself that she went ahead with the abortion because she was unsure.\u00a0\u201cBut it’s like, exactly, you were unsure,\u201d she said, \u201cyou didn’t give it the benefit of the doubt. You didn’t try to be a mom.\u201d\u00a0Ashley was terribly upset.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn’t do anything but cry,\u201d she said. \u201cI was like, I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to do this. I can’t even describe it. I just felt a burden on me. Like I felt heavy. I felt like I did the wrong thing, and I couldn’t take it back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley wondered how she would live with this decision for the rest of her life.\u00a0She contacted the abortion provider for help, to no avail.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called back the doctors who gave me the abortion pill and they were like, no, no. Like the progesterone is gone,\u201d Ashley said. \u201cI’m freaking out. I was terrified. I thought, okay, I lost my baby. I did it. There’s nothing I can do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley went on the internet and searched, \u201cIs there any way to reverse an abortion?\u201d<\/p>\n
