Started medical termination

[Sausageroll12]

Hi everyone, I went to the clinic today and took the first pill mifepristone this afternoon with antibiotics and an anti sickness pill. I am struggling to keep it down as feeling very sick but only have another half hour to worry before its definitely absorbed and it doesn't matter if I vomit then.
Not feeling overly sad as I've made this decision for all the right reasons I'm just a bit nervous about the next stage tomorrow. Anyone out there for a bit of a chat/hand hold?
Pretty prepared for what's to come next it's just a bit daunting especially as I have a big weekend coming up (collecting my new horse).

Ah bless you thinking of you ... hope your ok at the moment ... have a hot water bottle ready and some pain killers x x

Hopefully the heavy part will be over quickly for you OP. I started bleeding a couple of hours after the tablets and the pregnancy tissue was about six hours after, I know it varies from person to person though. I had paracetamol but the pain was ok, particularly after the first 24 hours I just took it as and when needed.

Thanks ladies, still nothing happened yet but I feel alot less nauseous for the first time in ages, could just be the codeine I took preemptively?!

Not sure ... but either way that bit is a bonus x

Are you all ok in yourself? As a big thing you are going through x

Yes I'm fine, I'm not a very emotional person generally. I have felt sad but I haven't felt attached to the pregnancy at all tbh.

That’s good to hear x

I hope that you are ok. I had mine yesterday and whilst manageable with pain killers, it wasn't pleasant. I'm still bleeding but what shocked me the most were my emotions as I thought I had totally disconnected myself from the pregnancy. Look after yourself x

I think I'm over the worst now, massive relief but you're right morewine it was a big shock. I'd read a few stories on here but it wasn't quite what I expected. It's not something I'd like to do again. Are you feeling ok today? Big hugs x

I haven't quite brought myself to flush the loo yet, not really sure what to do?

I'm feeling pretty bruised emotionally as I know it was completely the right thing to do, but the guilt I feel is horrendous. It took ages for me to flush too and I sobbed, but I felt relief once I had done it. I'm still cramping mildly today and bleeding, but nothing more than a period. Luckily I'm off work all week so have managed to rest which I've really needed.

Sausage and morewine.

Neither of you need to feel guilty. Terminating was the right decision for you both. Don't be too hard on yourselves.

Take care

Thanks Caaarrl. I think the hormones flying about everywhere have got to me!

Thank you both, dp flushed for me as I found it too hard I feel guilty but a lot better now, I'm still back on the toilet every 20 minutes or so and it's still very unpleasant. I'm glad you're ok morewine, I also have this week off work. Can't tell you how comforting you have all been x

It's good to know you aren't alone sausage. Hope your evening is ok and you get a good nights sleep x

Ah ladies so glad the worst bit is over .

You have valid reasons for your choice so don’t feel guilty, just grateful that we live in a time with choice.

if you want children you can have them when your ready .... it’s a huge responsibility and not one to be taken lightly your both very brave to make the harder choice ... it’s much easier to go ahead with a pregnancy 🤰🏻 than it is to say no it not right and decide against it ❤️

Take care

How are you doing op?

Hope you're ok today x

I'm good thank you, not much to report really the same sort of bleeding as a period. Nothing like the clots of yesterday which were frankly awful!
