Vacuum aspiration. I'd like to hear some reviews.

And without anesthesia, sorry?

I had it done at the beginning of this week, they removed a missed miscarriage.

I fell asleep in the chair in about 30 seconds and woke up two hours later without the slightest feeling that someone had been poking around down there and using a vacuum.

Even in a panic as the anesthesia wore off, I called the nurse and asked why nothing had been done to me)

I think for a procedure that takes about 5 minutes, general anesthesia is not necessary. Local anesthesia can be used. Don't forget that general anesthesia is harmful. Not only does the abortion cause harm, but so does general anesthesia.

My sister had a mini-abortion with local anesthesia. She said it was very painful and she even cried. And it wasn't 5 minutes, but about half an hour—they did it with a suction device. Well, maybe I'm mistaken—she might have meant a different abortion method.

To be more precise, it hurts, but it's bearable.

You're probably definitely mistaken) A vacuum abortion lasts 5-7 minutes.

No matter how harmful general anesthesia might be, I'm grateful it was used. A few days later, I had uterine irrigation because blood clots weren't passing, and it was done without any anesthesia. If you've never had irrigation, don't think it's as harmless as it sounds—when they insert a tube and flush everything with solution. Of course, that's what happens in the end, but before that, for about 10 minutes, it was real torture as they suctioned out those clots. If a simple irrigation is that painful, an abortion must be absolutely monstrous.

I won't impose my point of view since I had never been in a hospital before this and had never had anesthesia. I don't know how effective local anesthesia is.

But personally, I can say—I wouldn't have been able to just lie there conscious, knowing they were taking my baby out of me. And a very much wanted one at that (even though my baby's heart had already stopped, I hadn't realized it yet).

General anesthesia is certainly no walk in the park, but enduring the entire ordeal under local anesthesia is far more stressful for the body. Besides, the anesthesia used there is the simplest kind, without artificial ventilation, and it doesn't last long.

I did it without any anesthesia. The pain was only when the machine was working. They turned it on twice for about 30-45 seconds each time, and in between, I just lay in the chair for about four minutes with nothing being done. So the total time of pain was no more than a minute and a half. The pain is much stronger than during menstruation (mine are generally almost painless), but it's quite bearable.

If I ever have to go for a vacuum procedure again, I'll ask for local anesthesia (I just forgot that time), but general anesthesia—no way, I have some distrust of it...

Got a Baralgin injection, can't say it was painful, just a bit sensitive, that's all.

They gave me a shot (I don't know what kind) and I completely blacked out, and when I woke up—there was pain, but not severe, tolerable. What tormented me more was what I had done...

I'm 19, going for a vacuum procedure today, probably opting for general anesthesia because I'm really afraid of pain. It's better to fall asleep and then wake up with it all behind me. My husband wanted a child, but I'm not ready yet since it requires a lot of money, and I don't want my child to be deprived in any way. We just bought a room, but it's a room, not an apartment; you can't raise a child in such conditions.

God gives a child—God will provide for the child too.

I have a very bad reaction to general anesthesia; I get nauseous, might even vomit, and my blood pressure skyrockets—basically, it's awful. Still, I went through with the vacuum aspiration under general anesthesia because I was terrified. Ten days later, I had an ultrasound, and it showed that not everything had been removed. So, they performed another brief vacuum suction (lasting about 2-3 minutes). This time, it was without general anesthesia; they gave me some kind of injection in the cervix. Everything—both the injection and the suction itself—was almost painless. My stomach hurt a bit, but it was bearable. If I had known it wasn't that scary, I would never have opted for general anesthesia.

Don't scare people! Vacuum aspiration cannot possibly last 30 minutes; that's a surgical abortion. I've asked many people, and even those who had it without any anesthesia say vacuum aspiration is tolerable!

Of course, I don't advocate for abortions... but situations vary... I had a vacuum aspiration on February 15th, exactly a week ago, due to a missed miscarriage... It was the 10th week, but the pregnancy had stopped developing at 6 weeks... so we opted for vacuum... I was terribly scared... It was my first pregnancy... ((But my obstetrician-gynecologist was just wonderful... In general, it's definitely better under general anesthesia. I lay down on the chair (shaking and crying at the time, but the doctor and nurses were just amazing people, that means a lot), they gave me an injection in the vein (and I'm terrified of physical pain), and it turned out to be even pleasant. Then, literally within a couple of seconds, I was completely out. It was as if I didn't exist at all during that time... They took about 10-15 minutes in total, not the 2-5 minutes many describe, doing it a few times to be sure. I woke up in an indescribable state, saying how good I felt (that was the anesthesia wearing off). I was talking nonsense, but felt very good, though I was dizzy. The anesthesia was good—Diprivan—so I came out of it quickly. There was no pain at all, just a very slight pulling sensation in the lower abdomen (the uterus contracting). Then the doctor prescribed me a course of necessary medications. Yesterday, I had an ultrasound—everything is fine. I hope this info was helpful to someone. Good luck, girls!

I'm writing for those who find themselves in this difficult situation and have to undergo an abortion for various life reasons. After reading many reviews, I chose a good clinic. I made an appointment for a consultation with a doctor because I was hesitating between vacuum aspiration and medication (pills). The term was 5-6 weeks. When they did the ultrasound, it turned out that the pregnancy had stopped (no heartbeat). The doctor said that in this case, only vacuum aspiration was possible. They took a general blood test and, at my request, for blood type and Rh factor. They scheduled the surgery for the next day. They said only general anesthesia was available. I was in favor because it's already emotionally tough, and I had no desire to witness any of it. They told me not to eat or drink in the morning, to insert two Viburcol suppositories, and take two No-Spa tablets. The next day, I came for a consultation with the anesthesiologist; he asked about all possible chronic illnesses, previous surgeries, allergies to medications, etc. They told me to put on a gown and go into the operating room. I lay down on the chair, they gave me an injection in the vein, and the doctor said I would feel like after a couple of glasses of champagne... and then I didn't hear or feel anything anymore. Later, I heard my name, they asked how I was feeling, and took me to the room. I was under anesthesia for about half an hour, the procedure itself lasted about 5-10 minutes. Afterward, I stayed in the room for another two hours—I slept. I felt a bit dizzy and had a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen as the uterus was contracting. After that, I got up, paid 2500 UAH for the vacuum and anesthesia, and went home. The doctor prescribed antibiotics for 5 days and advised not to take baths, go to saunas, have sexual intercourse, lift heavy things, or exercise for two weeks. Today is the second day, and the discharge is minimal. So far, everything is fine. I have a follow-up ultrasound in two weeks. MY ADVICE: GO TO A GOOD CLINIC, DON'T SKIMP ON THIS. I HOPE THAT FOR EACH OF US, THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME IN OUR LIVES, AND EVERYONE WILL DRAW THE RIGHT CONCLUSIONS AND CHOOSE QUALITY CONTRACEPTION TOGETHER WITH A DOCTOR.

Better with general anesthesia, it takes 17 minutes, including recovery from anesthesia.

A week ago, I underwent this procedure due to a missed miscarriage. According to my menstrual cycle, the pregnancy was at 11 weeks, but one ultrasound showed it had stopped developing at 7–8 weeks, while another, which I trust more, indicated 9 weeks. Since I haven't given birth before, they first inserted laminaria (some kind of seaweed) to dilate my cervix. I had it in for three hours. The entire procedure, including entering and waking up from general anesthesia, took about 15–20 minutes. My husband, waiting in the hallway, thought they hadn't started yet because the doctor kept going back and forth. They administered an IV saline solution, and after an hour, I was discharged. My lower abdomen was sore—lying down was fine, but any slight tension caused tolerable pain, though I expected it to be worse. I then attended physical therapy sessions for five more days. The day after the surgery, clots started passing, and I had menstrual-like cramping that came in waves. Once everything passed, the pain stopped, but it was uncomfortable for about half a day. Now, I'll focus on regaining my strength and preparing for a new pregnancy.

What an utterly mistaken foolish statement!!!

Oh yes, oh yes, God gives and God takes and all that has somehow become outdated, yet it's already the 21st century and people still blame all troubles on God.

So, tell me, please, don't you know that children come from sex! Haven't you tried using protection?

Hello,
Two weeks ago, I underwent a vacuum aspiration due to a missed miscarriage. At first, my stomach hurt a lot, and I was hospitalized. They gave me injections to help my uterus contract and antibiotics to prevent any infections. It's been very difficult emotionally to go through this. But then you realize there's nothing more that can be done. According to my last period, I was 13 weeks along, but the development was only at 8 weeks. The procedure was done under general anesthesia.

I'm terribly scared. They scheduled a vacuum for Friday for the missed miscarriage. I'm so sorry for the wanted child. I feel sorry for myself ((

I had a vacuum aspiration procedure at the Harmony Medical Center, everything went without complications. The procedure took 15 minutes, and they discharged me to go home after an hour.

Yikes

On Monday, I'm going for a mini procedure. It's incredibly hard emotionally. I'm 6 weeks along, and there's a heartbeat, but my eldest is 3.5 and the youngest just turned one. I can't even imagine how this happened—my husband and I used protection, and I tracked my safe days. How it happened, I don't know. I haven't been sleeping well for two weeks now. I'm scared. I'll write later about how it goes. Wish me luck!!

Protection means pills and condoms together right away; everything else is just wishful thinking.

I was 9 weeks along. First, they gave me medication pills, and the next day, I had a vacuum aspiration. The anesthesia was just one injection in the vein; I hardly felt any pain, only discomfort. In total, I was at the hospital for 20 minutes. After that, they did an ultrasound and sent me home.

An injection into the vein, and I fell into a deep, sweet sleep within about 15 seconds, feeling absolutely nothing. I woke up already in bed, with my stomach pulling, aching, and hurting for about an hour. Then the pain gradually subsided and disappeared completely. There was bleeding, heavy at first, but after a couple of hours, it lessened. I got up after just half an hour, as advised by the doctor—not to stay in bed too long. Overall, I handled it well; it was more nerves and fear beforehand. While they were preparing in the operating room, I was shaking, trying to think positive thoughts. The anesthesiologist was nearby, calming me down, distracting me, and talking to me. He said that after the injection, I would fall asleep and not feel anything, and I’d wake up already in bed—and that’s exactly what happened. I think anesthesia plays a big role; it varies from person to person, how each one tolerates it. And of course, the doctors you trust matter too. Go to the best ones and stay calm—everything will work out.

Today, I underwent vacuum aspiration due to a missed miscarriage at 8-9 weeks. I was very scared too, but they gave me an injection in the vein, my head started spinning, and then—virtual reality! It felt like I was flying through some kind of portals, in circles, hearing voices, people telling me things, and I seemed to understand everything. The endpoint of my journey was the ward, and I gradually realized I was back in place. The whole thing took about 10-15 minutes from the injection to waking up from anesthesia. There were no unpleasant sensations afterward, as if nothing had been done at all, except for the bleeding. Occasionally, my stomach pulls a little, but just slightly; probably when they start giving injections to help the uterus contract, the pain will be a bit more noticeable. Honestly, I even enjoyed the "flying"—it was a very unusual state, just a shame the reason for it is so sad.((

You fool!!!

How long after a vacuum procedure does a pregnancy test still show two lines?

My test on the third day after V.A. showed a faint line. Before that, it was clear and bright. I'll take another one in two days.

Today I had a mini-procedure. The day before, I read on forums about how it all happens and was terribly scared. It was done at a women's clinic; there were three of us for the mini-procedure and one girl for the medication one. The medication abortion costs almost 5000 rubles, while the mini is 807 rubles. Before it all started, a psychologist came to talk to us, trying to persuade us, but no one changed their mind. I went first, lay down in the chair, they gave me an injection in the uterus (I'll say that was the most painful part of the whole procedure—it hurt but not too badly, it's bearable), then they started "suctioning." It all took about 5 minutes; I felt a bit dizzy and had pains like contractions, but not strong ones. When it was over, I got up and went to the ward, lay on my stomach for about 20 minutes, and then went home. There was a little bleeding, and that was it. I thought it would be much worse and more painful. I don't want to advocate for mini-abortions, but if it happens that there's no other way, then it's better to do the mini without general anesthesia—the pain isn't scary, some people have more painful periods. Honestly, after having the abortion, I deeply regretted it, but I should have thought earlier. I have two wonderful daughters close in age, very close, like two peas in a pod. I think a third child would have been a joy, but it's too late now... Think very seriously before deciding on an abortion. Good luck to everyone.

Hello.
Yesterday, I underwent aspiration due to a missed miscarriage and incomplete miscarriage under general anesthesia at a good clinic. Right after the surgery, I bled for 2-3 hours. Then it suddenly stopped; at night, there was literally just a drop. Today, I was discharged after an examination and ultrasound, but the bleeding still hasn't started. Tell me, girls, is it normal for it to take this long? I'm intentionally moving around so nothing stagnates, but nothing comes out. I'm very worried. I told the doctors at discharge, and they just smiled and said everything is fine. My stomach is aching with cramp-like pains. It's been over 24 hours with no bleeding. I'm taking antibiotics once a day. No injections for uterine contractions were given.

Did you have it done in Moscow? If yes, could you please recommend where?

I had a mini-abortion with local anesthesia - it took 5 minutes, it was painful but bearable. However, afterward, I experienced a horror - I lost consciousness, had anaphylactic shock, thought I was going to die and my daughter would be left an orphan, but they revived me. I slept for an hour in the room, then my husband took me home. Now I feel drowsy, nothing hurts. But those 15 minutes when they were reviving me, I will never forget((((

The key thing when undergoing general anesthesia is to think of something pleasant. I was also very nervous. When they administered the anesthesia, I was shaking all over. I woke up screaming. But there was no pain or any strange sensations. I shook for nothing.

On Monday, I had a mini-procedure. After the pad placed by the doctor was removed, there was no bleeding or pain. It started on Saturday. For the second day now, there's bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and even more back pain. I'm afraid something might have been left behind.

I had the procedure under general anesthesia in February. I didn't suffer emotionally because I didn't want this child, and I don't need one right now (I apologize to those who are against abortions). Anyway, the procedure itself was quick and painless; I didn't feel anything. I went to a good clinic, filled out the paperwork, and waited in the general queue. Then I was taken to a room, changed clothes, and called into the operating room. It was scary when I climbed onto the chair. Finally, they gave me an injection in the vein, and I passed out. I woke up on a couch, then the doctor took me to the room, put me to bed, and placed ice on my stomach. After 20 minutes, I got up, they prescribed a course of antibiotics, and I safely took a taxi home. I went for a follow-up ultrasound, and everything was fine. The test was positive for about 10 days; the doctor said that's normal, as the hormone hadn't cleared out yet.

My pregnancy stopped at 8 weeks, though the gestational age was 13 weeks. I opted for vacuum aspiration because we still want children and this was our first pregnancy. They used general anesthesia—you don't remember or feel anything. It's better not to eat the evening before the surgery and in the morning too. After the procedure, they allowed me to drink water after 5-6 hours, then eat a little later. The bleeding mostly occurred during the first bathroom visit, and by the next day, it wasn't significant. They administered antibiotics and an injection to help the uterus contract. I had an ultrasound on the third day after the vacuum—everything was excellent, no adhesions or blood clots, and the uterus is contracting. There will be another ultrasound on the seventh day, including an ultrasound of the uterus. If your life situation is similar, choose vacuum aspiration over curettage.

I had a vacuum aspiration at 3-4 weeks, with two previous childbirths. I seemed to handle it quite well. I had it done at Krasnaya-60. Well done. The service is attentive and the staff is friendly.

Today, I had a vacuum procedure at 5–6 weeks, under general anesthesia, and I didn't understand anything at all. Girls, you worry more than necessary—just one shot, and they wake you up and take you to the room. You come to in about 15 minutes, and that's it. It's as if nothing happened. I was more nervous just sitting there.

Good evening, I also had a pregnancy that stopped developing at 5-6 weeks, but I haven't gone to the hospital yet. My doctor told me to wait for it to pass naturally, thinking everything might resolve on its own. I'm anxious and afraid to have an abortion because I'm worried it might prevent me from having children in the future.

I had a vacuum aspiration on the 4th day after a spontaneous miscarriage (second pregnancy, miscarriage at 5 weeks of gestation or 3 weeks after conception). The procedure was extremely quick: while on the chair, the doctor said the uterus was full and there was a possibility of retained products of conception (later it turned out there was nothing there). No preparation was needed (just using the restroom), local anesthesia was administered (intravenously, although there were slight discomfort during the vacuum), it took at most 5 minutes. I walked to the room on my own, stayed in bed for about 20-30 minutes for formality, then went home. Preventatively, I was prescribed a 5-day course of antibiotics (Oflox 1 tablet twice a day), yogurt, Diflucan 150 one capsule on the 1st and 3rd day, nettle tea 500 ml per day, and calcium gluconate. After the anesthesia, there were absolutely no aftereffects; the procedure was completely unfelt. Only on the first day, there were slight discharges (6-7 drops). After that, nothing. A follow-up ultrasound is scheduled for the 6th day.

Everyone has different situations. And it's better for you not to breed your own kind.
