Tablets by post?

Hello - has anyone got experience please of taking the tablets by post? I just found out I’m pregnant, which is a totally shock. I don’t want to go through my GP and I don’t want to have a face to face appointment or scan. I think it would break my heart to see a baby on a scan, so I think the tablets by post make more sense. I’ve previously taken the MAP, so I’m trying to think of it similarly.

I’ve only had chance to Google Marie Stopes so far and that’s where I saw it as an option. Are there any other private clinics I should contact? Thank you

Thank you for that link @SudokuZebra how are you doing now ? Have you been back in touch with your provider to ask for support ?

You've supported others here so well but you must take care of you too . 💐

So sorry to hear this @SudokuZebra but I know that is a very honest review of your experience... just glad you have found comfort elsewhere
That is an excellent point .. forgiving yourself and feeling at peace is the key to moving on and these times although never forgotten will be reflected on with sadness but acceptance
Take care of yourself lovely

You absolutely can ask to speak to a different person
You can be honest and say you don't think you gelled very well and could you try and speak to someone else ... nothing wrong with that at all ...give it a try ?

Also @SudokuZebra if you feel the counsellor was quite poor , I don't want other ladies to have the same experience
If you message me privately I can find who that was and perhaps have a quiet word with their manager
That would be entirely up to you and would mean identifying yourself to me , however I have helped several people here and am very respectful and discreet
Let me know if you wish to do that

If you were raising a complaint yes
But if I was to say I had spoken to clients who felt she wasn't being very empathetic and wanted to rush them off the phone ... if that manager has heard this before and needs no further evidence then it would be enough

On saying that if you did want to raise a complaint you are perfectly within reason to do so ..

Morning all - I can't believe how quickly the past week has flown by. Yesterday it was so strange to think that I was pregnant the week before. It doesn't feel like it was real.

We had a lovely weekend with our DC. They potter and play with little supervision, so I actually sat and read my book for chunks of time! We had lunch out yesterday and both DC sat beautifully and ate well and I thought "this is so much easier now" (versus even a year ago when the little one would have been faffing about and getting off the chair). Although I did have to play referee this morning, as they both woke up in combat mode for some reason 😂

Physically bleeding is very light now. All of my other symptoms have disappeared.

I seem to have disassociated myself from my pregnancy and decision. It feels surreal. I wish I could forget dates though, as I do have a tendency to think "on this date, xyz".

Thank you so much to everyone on here who supported me. I'll be forever grateful for having a safe, kind place to post ❤️

@StormGrey. Glad things perhaps seem clearer now. You sound like life has a good balance.

@sam433. I hope a scan in the next few weeks gives you some more answers. Take it easy for now.

@SudokuZebra. Hello! Good to see you here.

That doesn’t sound like a nice experience for you. How frightening too. Your partner doesn’t sound very helpful in the situation. Calling you a “scank” is so out of order. It’s bullying and verbally abusive.

He sounds incredibly controlling. You should never feel like you have to have sex with him. You describe yourself as miserable. You need to seriously reevaluate this relationship.

Please keep yourself safe.xx

Speak to yourself like you would a friend. This man treats you terribly. No excuse for calling you names at all.
Please don’t blame yourself.

Focus on the good things in your life. Build on those.xx

StormGrey · 19/07/2021 12:35

@SudokuZebra I'm really concerned reading your posts about your partner. There's nothing redeeming in them. Can you actually imagine if you do have a child with him? His demands and sulks won't improve. You deserve better.

I've never one to post LTB on here. But in this case, I'll make an exception. He sounds awful.

Try to imagine your life with a happy, kind partner, who wouldn't even dream of calling you names, who got you a cold drink when you felt unwell and encouraged you to lie down...not badgered you for sex!! Imagine the atmosphere if a future child with him did something he disapproved of... would the child also be given the cold shoulder.

Your partner sounds like an emotionally abusive childish prick!!

Sorry for the rant, but all you need and deserve is kindness and love right now. And it he isn't capable of that.

I agree @SudokuZebra
That's sounds absolutely awful , what a horrible man

Being racially abused in the street is unforgivable but you being abused like this in your home is even worse ! This is the man who is supposed to care for you , what do you get out of this relationship darling ?
