Not sure what point of post is

I had a termination a few weeks ago. Completely the right choice for many reasons and I stand by the decision 100 percent.

It was time to take the pregnancy test a few days ago to check it was negative. And since taking it I feel awful, and empty. Its conflicting because I don't regret the termination but the feeling of emptiness is overwhelming. I have 2 beautiful kids and feel so guilty feeling that way.

I had the depo shot at the time which I regret massively. Feel so sluggish and horrible, and have read some women have struggled to get pregnant for 18 months after taking it. I dont know if we definitely want another baby in the future, we said we might take 6 to 9 months and discuss it then but I guess now I feel like that option might have been taken away from me because I'm getting older.

Just feeling a massive mixture of emotions today and I dont wanna bring it up with my husband. He's great but it'll bring him down which I don't want.

As the title says not sure what point of my post is, just wanted to get it out xx

Hand-hold, OP 💕 I cannot offer any advice, but I am here for you and I understand how you are feeling. I also had an abortion a few months ago, feeling OK on the whole emotionally but I definitely have good days and bad days. If you would like to talk about anything, please do - this is safe space here xx 🌺

@hillarypcof thanks so much ❤

I guess I felt better when the door was at least open to more babies but I feel like I've shut it on myself by getting this awful injection. Been googling lots and there are positive stories but mainly negative. Just hoping that's because the positive stories haven't had to be posted. The injection itself is making me feel horrible, constant bleeding, bloated and horrible so think its all a big contributing factor to me feeling like a bit of a mess today. x
