Starving yourself can induce a miscarriage, but it's a very risky thing to do, as it may or may not work, and the fact that the body will always try to protect the baby first, so it will be even harder on you.

My body must hate me then because it hasn't even prioritized a period for years. Is it not worth trying then?

To be honest, I fear it would be more likely to produce a baby with lifelong medical issues, which is the worst of both worlds. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Are there any charities / free centers around that could help you without you having to take matters into your own hands?

 

bodies can be really resilient. engaging in ed behaviours can increase the likelihood of miscarriage but won't always cause it.

please don't rely on ed behaviours to be a reproductive health solution. please see a doctor like at a reproductive/womens health clinic instead

 

It could, but the resulting miscarriage could also put you in the hospital or worse, and then you'd be in the same boat as trying to get the abortion and paying out of pocket, or your parents finding out through insurance, you know? Miscarriages are really dangerous in some cases. I agree with the user who mentioned Planned Parenthood, or if there are any other pro-choice family planning places near you that you could reach out to.

 

It can but you're more likely to have a baby which is born at a very low weight and will require extensive medical support. Starving yourself isn't a good solution for pregnancy

 

I had a miscarriage due to my ed. But its certainly not a sure thing. You might have a miscarriage or your pregnancy may be a tough little thing and you could end up with a physically and or mentally disabled child from starving through a pregnacy.

I know its an awful situation to be pregant and not want to be. But please please reach out to someone you trust for help in geting an abortion if thats your wish.

Please go to a local plan parenthood if you are pregnant. They will help you and give you the cheapest options to terminate the pregnancy.

 

I got pregnant while experiencing reoccurring amenorrhea and the calorie restriction didn't cause me to miscarry, but it made me lose a tooth (your body prioritizes nutrients to the baby if you're starving, and so the teeny amounts of calcium i consumed just went to the fetus instead of my teeth).

Don't starve yourself, it's very unlikely it'll work - humans/animals have lived in the wild on much less with greater physical exercise and manage to give birth. Don't do herbal remedies or tinctures, you'll likely cause harm to yourself or do nothing at all and waste money.

In the states, an abortion out of pocket at Planned Parenthood while awake (instead of asleep, which costs extra) depends on the state you're in but is around $400. Planned Parenthood does not require you pay it 100% upfront, and will help you with a payment plan, and will offer really affordable birth control options afterwards, which you could use your parents insurance with (not sure how your parents are but birth control is probably a normal thing for them).

PM me if you need help finding a doctor/clinic in your area, or if you want to talk about anything at all!

I unfortunately had one when I was deep into my bulimia. Starving all day and purging massive binges. It's not something you want to experience. I had to go to therapy for years. I'd find a doctor and talk to them about your choices. Tell them about the insurance. I'm sure they will understand and try to help you work around your parents.

How far along are you?
There is such a thing as an "abortion pill" if you're still very early in the pregnancy and you can get them online with a phone consultation with a doctor, assuming you're in the US.

 

Please go to a planned parenthood!!! Also consider telling your parents- I don't know anything about their views on abortion, but if they want the best for you and know that you're not ready for pregnancy or supporting a child, I would hope that they would support you in your decision to get an abortion!
I think starving yourself could work, but it also might not, and you could obviously hurt yourself too. Please please go to planned parenthood!

 

Also would love to hear an update from you and what you end up doing <3 we support you here!

 

Hello. Sorry to hear youre going through this experience. First of all: no- baby will take in all your minerals vits etc and survive. You dont need to eat a thing at all. You will probably just lose teeth, hair etc after a point. But baby would survive if its a healthy one

 

Also would love to hear an update from you and what you end up doing <3 we support you here!

I love this community, but honestly these responses were not that helpful since Planned parenthood did not take my parent's insurance (out of network) and still ended up charging me $550 :blink:

Anyway if any of you see this post, I am doing fine, thanks for responding to me

 

It could BUT you could also end up keeping it and giving birth to a very unhealthy baby. I would say that it's not the method to rely on. And please know that I empathize deeply with your situation. I was pregnant 3 years ago and considered this.

You should also know that if you go to planned parenthood, they will likely not even take your insurance & more insurers don't cover abortion. If you're worried about that, just tell them you don't have any. You will have to pay they same about both ways. If I recall correctly, it should be around $800. I want to make it very clear that it is WORTH the money if you don't want the baby. It was very difficult for me emotionally but it was the right decision and I would do it again. Please ensure that you have a support system in place if possible, even if it's not your family. If you need anything at all please feel free to pm me because I think I understand what you must be feeling.

 

It could, but a more likely scenario is that the pregnancy won't be interrupted and your baby will have severe medical issues. I'm sorry you're going through this but please please find another way (a definitive one) to end the pregnancy.
