Medical abortion

[mummyof1xx]

Hi I'm new here but I am wondering if anyone could give me some advice please so I found out I was pregnant on Tuesday last week on the Wednesday I rang up to get an abortion I had my booking and consultation on the same day and the nurse will be sending the abortion pill by post this is all with NUPAS so I'm just waiting to receive them in the post and then I can get started with the process I have major anxiety so I keep working myself up in a state and thinking the worst does anyone have any advice to make this easier for me as I know it's 100% the right choice I'm just scared of the unknown I guess , thanks x

Hi darling , it went okay to be honest I took the first pill on the Thursday which blocks out the pregnancy hormone and I felt fine just tired and then on the Friday I took the second lot of tablets I put the 4 up my vagina as far as they could go I did take some painkillers 10 mins before and then after 40 mins I was getting strong period cramps and the bleeding started pretty quickly I went to the toilet after 40 mins to pop a pad on and I lost a big clot and then from there I had about 5 clots and it just felt like a heavy period i didn't have any side effects and just had period cramps and with the pill by post it did take the 7 days to come it is hard and I was exactly the same while waiting for them to come but it will get easier take each day as it comes make sure you have painkillers and a hot water bottle and your favourite snacks but all in all it went smoothly for me but everyone is different , try and eat something don't let it eat you up it's easier said then done but it will be over before you know it x

Thankyou for your reply I know it's so hard its the unknown of what is to come and the waiting is hell on earth wish they arrived quicker I will try and stay positive I am a worrier anyway so this is making it harder I appreciate your post thankyou

@mummyof1xx how are you feeling now? And can I ask if you have any other children (I'm presuming from your user name you do?)

I ask because I've found myself in a similar situation, we have a 7 year old and despite a diagnosis of secondary infertility after 4+ years of trying for another, we've now unexpectedly found that I'm pregnant (about 5.5 weeks). Despite having wanted the baby for such a long time, now that reality has hit, we're not sure it is really what we want and are considering medical abortion. Did you find it a hard decision to make?
