Medical termination.

I live about 30 mins away from bpas. I have no one to take me so I thought I will drive myself there. Do you think I would be able to drive my way back too? It's a maximum of 30 mins. What's your opinions?

[CoteDAzur]

You will get the medicine or prescription from hospital, then you can drive back. You can take the pills after you come back home.

[hahavzv]

If anything, by the time I get home, that's when it will start off, right? Trying to reassure myself...

[hahavzv]

Ok, that's really good to hear. Thanks 🙏🏼

[NewBrian]

They make you take them while there and you have to be accompanied home, very inconvenient but no way around it x

[CoteDAzur]

Sorry Long, that's not how it's done down here.

[hahavzv]

Tomorrow is the day! I'm sook nervous and scared at the same time. Want it all over and done with.

[misslost]

How are you today?

[hahavzv]

I'm at the clinic as we speak. Consultation completed. Didn't take long at all. My temperature was a bit high so they're giving me 5 mins to cool down before I get given the pills. Then I'm free to go home.

[hahavzv]

I'm just not looking forward to the pain 😔

[hahavzv]

Just found out I'm 4 weeks and 5 days

[misslost]

You will be ok. I didnt take all the painkillers because I felt sick, the pain wasnt too bad for me but the cramps lasted a week. Mine was less than 2 weeks ago. I hope u have some support, I did not have much, if u want to talk xx

[hahavzv]

Thanks misslost. How far were you if you don't mind me asking

[misslost]

They said 7 weeks but I couldnt have been, 6 max.

[hahavzv]

Oh ok. Well this is my second hour since taking the pill and nothing as of yet...

[misslost]

I took one pill on sat and then the four that sit in your gums on a monday, I think my cramps started soon after the last set and bleeding about 3 hours later. Do u have anyone with you?

[hahavzv]

My husband was looking after the LO so I went on my own. I had all the pills taken today. This is now my 3rd hour....

[misslost]

Ok, try not to worry, it said in my MS booklet it can take a while to start, maybe walk about a bit. I felt sad so I just went to sleep when I got home but I noticed I bled more and had more cramps when I got up and walked about a bit. X

[hahavzv]

Yeah the nurse told me to walk around and let gravity help the cramps. I've just been to the loo and like two blood clots had passed. So I don't know what that means....

[hahavzv]

Thank you @misslost it's feels so great having someone to talk to who has experienced this.

[misslost]

Thats ok, I was scared too. Its not the best time. Hugs to you. X

[hahavzv]

I've not really had many blood clots after that. Just normal bleeding. Has it happened??

[misslost]

I asked that same question to the 24h nurse, I just had one clot and the rest was thickish blood. The nurse told me that in the early weeks you cant really tell, she said if I hadnt bleed that much I would need another scan in 2 weeks. If u have a helpline give them a call to put your mind at rest, try not to worry, I was the same. Hugs. X

[hahavzv]

@misslost okie dokes. My cramps have slightly lessened. I still have a hot water bottle with me whilst trying to put my 7 month old to sleep. I hope I'll manage to get some sleep too without causing a mess! 🙄
