basically,
a very good friend of my DH (M) has been going out/living with this girl for 3 years, so naturally I got to know her as well.
After a few months together she wanted to TTC, M at that time had a newborn with another girl (long story). They where TTC for 2 years, and in this time she was very easy to upset, and refused to spend time/see M's other baby as it made her upset that she wasn't pregnant yet. So after 2 years they went for tests and she was given tablets or something to help. So in Feb she got her positive (lucky thing!). Just over a month later M had an op on his knee, but had a bad reaction to the Meds so was in ICU for a while.
While waking up in ICU M found his girlfriend crying, and she told him she had tokophobia (fear of pregnancy and/or childbirth), so was going to have a termination.
Being against abortion he begged her not to, but she turned around and said that as he was stuck in ICU he couldn't stop her. So against his wishes and begs, she went ahead.
M tried to get over it, and due to the tokophobia he tried to get past it and give their relationship another go, without TTC. - In Aug she got another +ve because she stopped taking her pill without telling him.
She has just had her second termination in one year.
M has moved out. (although has promised to help her get though the 2nd termination, but won't ever forgive her for either of them.)
I can't believe TTC for 2 years then going ahead with 2 terminations like that! surely she thought about the pregnancy and birth before/during TTC? I mean, this couldn't have just come to her over night? and if it did, and your phobia was so bad, stopping your pill without letting your partner know is just incredible!
I'm sure I was shocked by it more, sitting here hoping for a +ve! and possibly over emotional but I just can't think of her as a friend any-more, and am so glad M has walked away.
But I could never imagination any of you girls TTC for 2 years! then having a termination because, Oh yeah, I'm scared of being pregnant/child birth. - I would like to add that a few of her friends have children, and she is the oldest of 4, so saw her mother and friends have children, She KNEW what was involved! - I just cant believe it! M is devastated.
-wow, super long rant is over.
