Is this potentially a pregnancy scam?

Sooo I did a stupid thing and hooked up with stranger I met online and she’s saying she’s pregnant. I’ve definitely learned my lesson that doing that is a bad idea, but I need some help in trying to figure out this current situation. I’m afraid to ask my actual parents because 1) they’re both pro-life and this situation involves abortion, and 2) they’re also pretty conservative and would kill me for getting a random woman I hooked up with pregnant.

2/19: I met a woman online and we ended up hooking up. At one point, the condom slipped off (we weren’t sure when or how) so I gave her cash for a Plan B. 

3/3: She texted me wanting to meet up again that night. I didn’t want to so I told her I was busy.

3/12: I texted her and asked if she wouldn’t mind letting me know the results of her next pregnancy test. I didn’t hear back.

Over the next few days, I texted and called her a couple times, no response.

3/18: I messaged her on the site and asked if she still had the same phone number since I couldn’t reach her. She told me her phone had been stolen and she sent me a new number. I texted her new number and after the pleasantries, I ask if she had taken any recent pregnancy tests by chance. She says “I thought I told you, I’m pregnant.”

We video chat and talk about what to do. She asked me what I thought we should do and I advocate for getting an abortion (we barely know each other and have no interest in dating each other going forward, I really don’t want to bring a child into this world in a broken situation like that) and she seems somewhat receptive (just worried how an abortion might affect her emotionally). She notes the cost of an abortion (which I interject and offer to pay for) and she mentions that she might be able to get away from her job long enough to go to a PP clinic the next day to talk to them, but since she drives a company car for work they track the GPS so she’s unsure if she can get away for that long.

Up until this point I’m freaking out since I think it’s 100% legit. I ask her for a picture of the positive pregnancy test and she sends me one with 2 clear lines.

3/19: I text her and offer to go to the clinic with her. At first she asks when I’m free, then shortly later she says she’d rather just go with her sister. I try to politely insist on going but she said she’s already embarrassed by the situation and doesn’t want her sister asking questions about me. She asked if the doctor could call me, I asked about what and what clinic they were from. I also asked if she could take a pregnancy test over video chat at some point. I didn’t hear back for a few hours so I thought it was a scam (since a doctor wouldn’t just call someone who wasn’t their patient) and blocked her and deleted the number (was using a burner number). A few hours later I start having 2nd thoughts so I make a new burner number and message her on that one and just tell her I had an issue with my texting app but followed up on my questions.

I didn’t hear from her for like 5 days, then finally heard back from her on 3/24.

3/24: She took a pregnancy test live over video chat. Result came up positive. Though she peed out of frame (so there’s the possibility that she just used a pregnant friend’s urine to get a positive result, or even used a fake positive pregnancy test that you can get on Amazon for like $8), and idk if she was able to pull off any sleight of hand, I didn’t see anything. We talked about what to do, and quickly agree that not keeping it is the best option. We start looking into abortion and Planned Parenthood. I offer to pay for the entire abortion (and related expenses) if we go that route.

She gives me the price of the initial consult (I think it was like $105) and the price of the procedure itself, which she says is $1500. She says that she called PP and they have an opening for a consult Friday morning at 11. I ask if she wants me there and she says she prefers female company, so she was going to ask her sister. I also asked her how the doctor visit had gone during the previous week and she said she ended up not going because one of her kids got sick and she had to take them to the doctor.

In terms of dealing with the cost, we talked about how I could pay for her. I asked if PP would be ok if I paid online or over the phone. She said she called them and that they said no to both, that they needed either cash or card at the time of service. I offered to go with her to just pay real quick and then I’d immediately leave. She declined (she said she was already embarrassed and didn’t want me there) and asked me to just Zelle her the money. I told her I didn’t feel comfortable Zelle-ing her the money and that I’d rather pay the clinic myself in person. She asked if I could give her cash, I tried to insist that I could give the clinic cash maybe before she even got there and I could leave. She was then like “just nevermind, I’m keeping the baby”. We talked for a bit, she seemed agitated and kept going on about how all this was already embarrassing for her and she just wanted to be able to pay discretely without me being there. Finally she was like “if we can’t get the money sorted out then I guess I’ll just take out a personal loan to take care of it, but that’ll drag out the process of everything.” 

I reached out to PP directly and they said they’re also ok with being paid via money order (which I think is a win-win solution for us if she’s telling the truth), since she can pay discretely and also can’t use the money for anything else so I’m protected financially. I messaged the lady bringing up the idea of paying via money order. Didn’t hear back for a couple days. 

3/26: I sent her a link to an independent clinic in her area that would allow me to pay online while she went in without me so it could be discrete. She later replied “I don’t think I want to do this.” I tried calling her and texting her to ask what she meant but couldn’t get ahold of her.

3/27: She calls me and tells me that her friend knows a dirty doctor that can get her abortion pills for free. She says she picks them up that night. She says that although she doesn’t like abortion, she doesn’t want to keep the baby in this situation because she already has 3 kids and doesn’t have capacity for another, she wants to focus on advancing her career, she wants to move soon, and she doesn’t want a child growing up without a father.

3/28: She calls me and tells me that she’s about to take the pills after breakfast, but also asks me to compensate her financially for her pain, time, and the fact that she might have to take time off work to deal with the bleeding/cramps that come along with the abortion pill. I agree to meet her that afternoon to give her some cash just in case this whole thing is legit. I ask her if she got both medications (mifepristone and misoprostol) and she said the dirty doctor just gave her mifepristone. I told her that she needs both if she wants to make sure the medical abortion works.

She went ahead and took the mifepristone anyways that morning. She said she followed up with the ‘dirty doctor’ but as of Friday night still hadn’t heard back. I met up with her and gave her some cash. She said she’d keep in touch and show me ultrasounds etc. when she meets with an OB/GYN like a week or 2 after taking the mifeprostone to see whether it worked. She also reassured me that she didn’t want to keep the baby; she said she thinks it’s a bad situation for everyone involved (me, her, and the fetus) and it wouldn’t be fair to anyone if she kept it.

3/29: I texted her on Saturday to see if she was able to get in touch with the doctor about the misoprostol. Didn’t hear back.

3/31: I called her in the morning and she said that the dirty doctor gave her the misoprostol Sunday evening and she took it. She said she had some bleeding in the middle of the night as well, which is a sign that it’s working.

4/3: I texted her and she said she was bleeding and had felt miserable for the previous two days.

There’s just so much that’s weird about this. On the one hand, if it is a scam, it seems pretty elaborate and drawn out and I figure she would have moved on by now. Also most pregnancy scams I see involve the lady proactively telling the guy she’s pregnant and then hounding him for abortion money. In this scenario, I was the one who reached out to her to ask if she was pregnant, and I was the one who offered to pay for the abortion. But there are definitely red flags:

-She told me the cost of the abortion procedure at PP is $1500. I looked it up online and that’s for like later in the 2nd trimester. We’re not even halfway through the 1st trimester, and at this point the procedure is a lot less. Like half the cost. Not sure why she would wait that many months to have the procedure done, unless she’s not actually pregnant and just trying to get more money.

-When I asked to go to the clinic with/before her to pay for the procedure, she gave me reasons I can’t and tried to get me to pay her over Zelle or give her cash instead of finding a way for me to pay the clinic directly. Later she asked me to compensate her for her time, pain, and possibility of having to take time off work after taking the mifepristone (I did give her cash here in the chance that this is all legit).

-She said she “thought she already told” me that she was pregnant, how do you mistakenly think you had a convo about an important topic like that when you actually didn’t?! And when her phone allegedly got stolen she didn’t proactively give me her new phone number.

-She asked if the doctor could call me later but I don’t see a reason a doctor would (or really even could) do this (my thought at the time was that it was her friend who was going to try to pull some sort of scam over the phone). Then later I find out she never actually went to the doctor for herself that day.

-When I tried to insist I pay PP directly she was like “just nevermind, I’m keeping the baby” which felt like a threat (and a pretty unhinged one at that). She was only ok with money sent directly to her.

-When I brought up me paying via a money order, she disappeared for like 2 days then was like “I don’t want to do this” when I sent her the website of an independent clinic that would let me pay online.

-A doctor who knew what they were doing wouldn’t give out mifepristone without misoprostol because you’re supposed to take the miso 24-48 hours after the mife. She did admit that this dirty doctor didn’t really do abortions (I think she said he’s a primary care doctor) so I guess it’s possible that he just genuinely didn’t know, but seems fishy. Also from what I understand, even a dirty doctor couldn’t just give out abortion meds like this since the medication is tightly regulated/monitored.

-For the PP clinic that she said had an opening for a consult on Friday 3/28. There are two PP clinics in my state that offer abortion services, and the one I think she was referring to is actually closed on Fridays.
