Your Love is Like a Roller Coaster

I am a hormonal mess. Surges of sadness, happiness, rejection, acceptance, love and otherwise wave over me and overwhelm me.

My boyfriend and I have fought like crazy for about two weeks now. I feel so easily hurt by him these days, and I cannot figure out if the normal strains in our relationship and our lives are causing this, or if it's excacerbated by the changes of hormones in my body.

I've read in some other abortion blogs about experiencing wild swings of emotion following the procedure and your body's hormonal readjustment. Because I was entering my second trimester, my body was pumped full of more pregnancy hormones, so it may take me a bit longer to adjust...

Then there's the hormonal change of birth control. I have read a few experiences of women who feel emotionally unstable on the Depo shot.

At this point, I'm not sure which it is, but I'm wondering if anyone out there reading this has experienced mood swings following their procedure and/or a Depo-Provera shot???

A question for abortion providers...

..or clinic volunteers, or women who have had abortions, or any other pro-choicers out there who feel they have insight into this topic:

After an abortion procedure, is it common practice for hospitals, clinics, etc., to provide the patient with support materials?

I'm thinking more of emotional support information (the number for 4exhale.org, for example, or locally-recommended social workers or therapists, or basic information about the wide-ranging emotions different women experience after the procedure, etc. etc.) rather than a list of physical symptoms to expect.

Thanks, everyone!
