I really don't want to hear pro life stuff.
I understand all of that.

I would like to know how ladies dealt with the whole wait for appointments. I just can't go through with it. I feel so sad. So unwell mentally and so upset that this happened despite being on contraception.
I have an 18 month old. No time. No support. Family are useless and I'm
Just terrified.
I have to wait an entire week until the first appointment. Then longer for the procedure but it just feels like everyday it gets worse. I want it over.

Can you not get the tablets prescribed without the appointment? So hope it's over for you soon. Flowers

I called on the Monday and got my tablets in the post Wednesday and it was all over by the Friday, xx

Sorry i called Marie stopes, this might be a better option for you if your struggling with the wait xx

girlmommatrying · 17/06/2021 18:45

@Aimzxo is there a cost? Thank you for sharing the wait is really hard.

I just phoned them. No funding available in my area so that's not an option

Ahh thats rubbish, have you tried googling abortion clinics in your area? I think clinics are quicker than gp xx

Try BPAS if Marie Stopes doesn't cover your area. I went via Marie Stopes and had surgical in the end as in those days you had to go backwards and forwards for the tablets and couldn't stand the wait any longer but if I remember correctly, it was still a few weeks for it all to be done and dusted. I hope you get some help soon xxx

Redannie118 · 17/06/2021 20:28

I was going to say phone BPAS. They will check all clinics in your area. They found me NHS one that would see me same week, whereas hospital wait was 2 weeks. Best of luck x

I'm a Bpas nurse
If you call you could be given the next available appt but also be given a slot just opened if you are lucky
Please tell them you are happy for an early Telecons appt and ask if it's possible for a cancellation - this will mean they will email each of the Hubs and ask them to keep you in mind for a cancellation or dna.. which we get lots of ... such a waste of time

girlmommatrying · 17/06/2021 20:53

@66babe thank you so much! Yes I've got an appointment with bpas next week I will phone again and ask for an appointment sooner if it's possible

66babe · 17/06/2021 21:35

Send me a pm ... I think I've fixed it
