I went into Planned Parenthood in Effingham, IL for birth control. I had to take a pregnancy test that day then again in two weeks. I remember clearly hearing someone say outside my door, “Give it to her anyways." They never said anything to me about it. Just gave me the depo shot anyways.
About two months later I found out I was pregnant. I went to work detasseling corn, and my mom needed to know my last period date, so she had my sister call and find out. They wouldn't give it to her. But I called a little later that day and told me that my last pregnancy test came back positive.
They ruined my life. If it had not been for their mistake I would have been able to keep my baby. Since then I was not able to conceive a child. I believe it is because of damage done by the abortion. During the procedure, I was awake. They put some medicine sticks in my cervix to open it, then used something that sounded like a vacuum and told me to hold still. Are you serious? It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. Not to mention the most traumatic. After the procedure I felt humiliated and hurt beyond belief. I always wanted kids. Not so young, but the abortion took that away. I have since gone through four cycles of invitro fertilization, three tubal pregnancies, and now a hysterectomy. I have found forgiveness from my family and that is why I am silent no more.
