Well, I am relatively new here so not sure if I should be sharing such a thing, but I had an abortion 2 months ago.
Zephyr, at first I wasn't sure what to do, was erring towards the termination way. Once I had called BPAS and made an appointment, a weight was lifted from my shoulders and I knew I had made the right decision. I realised later, as I went through the procedure that if it was not the right thing for me I could never have gone through with it, it's not the sort of thing that you can do lightly, there and then.
I was all set for the medical abortion, I was 7 weeks pregnant. However, when I had my consultation with a doctor and she explained my options I decided to go for the surgical option. I guess TBH, I had always assumed that the early medical option was the "easy" option, but as I found out more, you will be off your feet for less time with the surgical option. I was out of the clinic quickly, and spent the rest of the day in bed. I felt uncomfortable but not too bad. The next day I was mostly fine. I would not have gone to work, but I was up and about and well. With the medical option, you could be bleeding for more than 2 weeks, heavily. Having said that, the feeling during the surgical procedure is not pleasant. To put it mildly. I'm not sure I could do it again.
Only you can make the decision, but I guess that I wanted to highlight for you that if you are in any way unsure about being able to go through with it, it will be harder when you come to that point in the clinic. As many more people have said before me, so I am sure that what I have to say is somewhat redundant, you are not alone, there are many other people who have also made your decision, both ways, and are okay.
Two months on, I do not regret my decision and do not imagine ever doing so. And I would recommend the staff at BPAS.
