Medical abortion

[septsapp]

Has anyone taken the abortion pill and could give me some details on how it went for you ? I have an appointment booked in and am scared of the pain /what I will go through and see and how long the whole process could take also they said I have an all day appointment including consultation scan etc , I will be about 7/8 weeks when I go for appointment, thanks x

No I wasn't booked in for check up I think as long as you bleed they aren't worried x

@septsapp did you have any clots or anything on the days after you took the pills and how big were they roughly? Also if you don’t mind me asking how many weeks were you xx

No just cloys for couple hours maybe 3/4 then just period type x and nothing bad after that at all xx

And I think I was about 7 weeks maybe before ? Xxx what are you again ? X

5 weeks 5 days x @septsapp

I think they say deffo not as bad earlier it is xx

Morning all. Reaching out for some support please. Need to make the courage to ring and book an abortion today but I'm petrified of actually doing it and been judged. I've got a 10 month old baby, finances arnt great but my main concern is my mental health, DH is supportive either way. I just keep crying but I know it's the right decision just feel like I'm an awful person especially when I've had miscarriages previous to my daughter at 7 and 14 weeks. Scared they'll tell me I dont have valid reasons or I have to wait weeks and weeks. Hope you are all ok sorry youre all here, hope you found/find peace with your decisions x

No way are you going to be judged and I knew I couldn't keep my baby , I cried and cried and bottled out of going the first time , but I went back a week later and it was the right decision for me as it sounds like you know the same for yourself , they really are kind and they will offer counselling there if you need to speak with someone , call them today and get the ball rolling if you change your mind and it takes you to another appointment date then so be it , I think appointments were a couple of weeks wait for me , I wish I'd actually gone a bit sooner as I was very sick by time my appointment came , remember you can change your mind any time you like until you are ready this is your decision don't put pressure on yourself , it doesn't make you a bad person it's just life x

Thankyou @septsapp I've rang this morning and they are ringing me on Monday for a telephone consultation then I'll get a date. Praying it isn't far away. I know it's the right decision just hating myself atm for getting into this position. Hope you are ok x

That's good , do you feel w bit better now ? I felt like I could start getting my head round it more after my call , then once I got the date I could make sure it worked around my children too so I felt more in control of it then x

Yeah I said that to my husband I kind of feel relieved I've started the process which has really surprised me. Thankyou for replying to me think that's really helping too! I'll let you know how monday goes x

Hope everything goes well for you, no judging at all just do whatever is best for you and try not to worry about the opinions of others :) I felt so relieved once I had my appointment date as I knew it would all be over soon x

Thankyou @lolasmith7 have to keep arguing with myself in my head but I'm 98% sure it's the right decision the woman on the phone was lovely didnt sound judgy at all. Yeah I just want a date now and hope it isn't too far away and nothing stops it. Just having a glass of wine and I even feel guilty about it?!

Hi everyone how are we all? @needingsupportplease we have all been here !!! Trust me 1 day on I feel 10,000 x better! I had my daughter via IVF so I felt like a complete fraud especially when I miscarries how could I cry then but be willing to do this! We make these decisions for the right reasons !! Xx

So glad you’re feeling better about it all now! Hopefully you get a date soon x again any questions you have I’m sure everyone will be more than willing to answer x

@lilbie20189 so glad you’re feeling better today x

Thanks to you girls for getting me through yesterday! I’m so mad at myself for even thinking it would be like google it was nothing more than a bad period! Xxxxxx

How are you feeling today ? I think everyone Google's and gets the worst scenario ! Tbf I checked a lot of forums like this with peoples experiences and found some of those to be bad so they genuinely did happen just we only read the worst stuff dont we , I had some crappy things in my life that made me feel a massive fraud for doing it too, but you have to do what is right for the present time and circumstances and we can all dream of things we want but they don't always fit in where we'd like them xxx

@llilbie20189 glad you are feeling abit better and thankyou. Previous losses/struggles definitely play mind games with you. We went through hell to get my daughter so I feel awful but know I'm prioritising her and giving her the best life. I had a mmc at 14 weeks which all went wrong and was very traumatic (booked in for surgical, left too long, dilated, waters broke and lost baby and everything else in middle of a day surgery ward, it was horrific and very painful) so I'm not as scared about what will happen as hopefully will be 6 weeks max this time and I can be at home. Cant sleep at all and it's all I'm thinking about every minute of each day just want it all over with now x

This is just awful and really stressing me out. Got told someone would ring me between 9 and 10 and book my appointment/do consultation.. theyd try twice aswell. Not even heard from them?! Stress level 100000000

Can you try call them say no one has called ? X

They called me about 10.30 thank goodness but defo not the stress I needed. She said someone will call over the next 24hr with an appointment date which will be next week or later as I need to be atleast 6 weeks. She thinks I'm 5+1 so they can see something on the scan. Really wanted this sorting as early as possible as I'm petrified how I might feel as this baby develops.. its bloody awful. X

Booked in for Tuesday morning x

How do you feel now it's booked x

Calm and sure of my decision just want it all over now, trying not to think about it too much and praying the app goes ahead! How are you x
