YOUR ABORTION GUIDE: Part One Logo

  • Your Abortion Guide

    The story of your abortion through the lens of your body.

  • Part Four, Reflecting on your experience:
    This last guide is meant to be completed after your period has returned, pregnancy symptoms have subsided, and you've had a chance to reflect and process your experience. This could take several weeks, if not longer, after your completed abortion.

    This guide contains 3 short pages with a mix of informational and reflective questions.     Rouge is here even after your abortion to help support you emotionally or with more resources. If you have questions about the following guide, Rouge Doulas can help you through answering these questions. You can connect with a Rouge Doula through this secure form.

  • Bleeding & Aftercare

    The following section will focus on the return of your period and retreat of pregnancy symptoms after your abortion.

  • It is normal to bleed for a few days, or even a few weeks, after an abortion. The return of your period usually signifies that your abortion is complete. Usually you will stop bleeding from your abortion before your period returns, though you will sometimes experience spotting.

  • Your abortion experience

    We will now ask you more about the overall experience of your abortion. Please reflect on the physical, emotional, and/or spiritual aspects your abortion has brought up for you.

  • Further follow-up

  • Through these surveys, Rouge Pills is conducting valuable research to continue furthering how we understand abortions.

    You can find out more about our aims on our website.
