October 28, 2015 I was 8 weeks and 17 years old…to me no big deal….fast forward

March 3, 2017 i was 19 I was 22 weeks but was refused an ultrasound in my hometown so when I went to the clinic 2 hours away, I had no idea how far along I was. When I found out I had a few hours to decide. Unfortunately the fetus was not developing properly. With missing limbs and not getting enough of nutrients. I was told if I went through with it, my chances of carrying full term were very low and my chances of a late term miscarriage or still birth were very high. For me and my boyfriend who was also with me in 2015 thought this was the best decision. I was there for nearly 12 hours.

We’ve suffered severe depression and had a lot of problems in our relationship. We still do. We have been together 6 years. I’m 23 and he’s 24. It hasn’t been easy and we’ve thought about giving up. I’ve struggled more than he has mentally and it’s taken a toll on me. I’ve also struggled with Endometriosis and I haven’t been able to get pregnant.   Through this journey I’ve found out a lot about myself. It wasn’t an easy decision but it was the best decision for us.
