Need support- 2wk wait for termination

Hi,
I got a positive test this week making me 4 weeks today. For multiple reasons continuing the pregnancy isn't possible- we made the decision as soon as the test results came up. But now I need to wait until 6 weeks for a termination though I have a phone consultation this week. I don't know how to cope- I was very sick by 6 weeks in my last pregnancy, I have very important exams for work around the time the appointment would be, I'm supposed to be doing a rare night out on NYE and I don't want to raise suspicion but can't face drinking even though I will terminate a week or so later (stupid isn't it?). I don't even know if I can arrange childcare for when I'm given an appointment- might have to attend appointment alone (haven't decided on medical or surgical).
Can I please get some support? This decision has broken my heart but I know it's right

Here is the scan from today- there's just nothing there so hoping this won't upset anybody. Test is also from today- hcg must be high no matter what's happening

That is really strange. I'm 5+3 today and my last af was 3rd December so you must have conceived around the same time as me. We had our slip up on the 19th December. Maybe you implanted later??

Sorry 16th December was our slip up

Our slip up was December 10th. I'm sure I ovulated the day before and that day- I'm really in tune with my body and have the same symptoms every month. V regular cycle too. Stuck in limbo for a while I think 😓

I ovulated around the 17th November (avg 37 day cycle) and I found out on 4th December. When I had my vaginal scan I was 'just under 5 weeks' and it was tiny but visible, approx 2.4mm including the sac. She did say I was lucky it was visible as it was so small, as i would've had to go back for another a week or so later

How are you Anonymous? I went to my scan and consultation today and my dates are out too. I should be 6 week but I'm only measuring 4+6! I don't get it. She won't go ahead as she can't rule out ectopic so I go back next week :-(

I have since miscarried- a difficult time though in some ways both easier and harder than a termination. I'm grateful for all the advice given though which helped me feel prepared, despite the unexpected ending

Bumping this thread as I'm in the same position. Am 4+2 and so angry and frustrated that Marie Stopes are making me wait until I'm further along to even scan. In Europe they will allow you a medical termination before it's visible on a scan, it is so rubbish they won't do that here. I just want to move on with my life.

Please help i found out i was pregnant on 21/4/17 i worked out i was around 6 wks i phoned bpas straight away and the first available appointment for a consultation only is may 12th 😭 im in despair i have to children 15 and 10 that i don't Want finding out but i feel sick all the time and so exhausted and the worst my stomach looks around 5months pregnant I've seen my gp he couldn't get me an earlier appointment has anyone else had this and why does it take so long i was hoping for a medical procedure but now given how far gone i am/will be will have to be surgical i cant cope at the minute 😪

Have you tried Marie Stopes? Hang on in there. I was in the same boat six months ago - it was awful. Just take each hour at a time. If you're really sick and it's possible to spend time in bed over the next couple of weeks then that would be good. Xx
