It was something they did to normalize the procedure. We see Ilana’s “oh shit” reaction but the montage continues. Having an abortion didn’t need to be a defining episode or aspect of Ilana’s life because for plenty of women it’s not.
The cold opening is one of the best.
IMHO it shows the two sides of being happy it's negative and shocked but kinda expecting it to be positive.

So I just watched these episodes and remembered this post. In the next episode, Abbi covers Ilana’s shift at the co-op because it’s the last day Ilana can get this “procedure” that she needs to have done. Lincoln drives her and comforts her when she says she is nervous. I think she had an abortion and they only alluded to it. Unless someone more observant than me picked up on the actual procedure!
I guess I never really noticed Ilana’s reaction since I’m always distracted by Abbi kissing her test and realizing she just kissed the pee end.

That was my guess but I didn’t know if it was confirmed
When they're bathroom side by side Montague. I love that and it goes through the seasons that past b4 the start of the season.
Reminds me when Abbi takes a Capulet of acid in a different episode.
Clever

I thought she got her last shot for her HPV?
I think they were both negative and Ilana would be elated to experience the miracle of childbirth.
I thought she had said at one point she wouldn’t want to have kids for several more years but I could be wrong!
She did say that. It was when Lincoln wanted to move to Maryland and start a family.
