Termination

[kingkax]

Looking for some advice as how to get through 10 days leading up to the termination while am feeling so awful and miserable at the moment. I feel like the wait is to long because they waste one day with a phone consultation than after a few days call you in. Am absolutely miserable can't believe I let myself get into this mess in the first place can't keep anything down can't tend to my 3 kids thankgod for a supporting partner who is helping out at the moment. Anyone else in this situation? Any reassurance how to get through the waiting time knowing there a baby growing inside me everyday.

Hi are you being sick? This brings memories for me as I couldn't get a phone consultation quick enough and I know how bad the anxiety built up. How far along you? Try not to focus on the time. Try to keep busy. Also have you asked them if their any cancellations they could you a call? I was allowed to pick the pills up sooner as I was being sick but had to travel far.

Il be 8 weeks by the time I get seen and I keep reassuring myself that am really gonna be 6 weeks coz they add 2 weeks as it's counted from first day of last period. Been phoning everyday there's been no cancellations as the receptionist said these kind of appointments don't get cancelled. I've also called mSI and they given me a phone appointment a bit earlier and am just hoping they could post them out instead of seeing me. It's the worse thing waiting for it to be over. Thanks for your reply xxx

I have no real advice but I am going through the same thing. Another 11 days to wait. Its killing me, I just want it over and done with. The constant thoughts, mind working overtime on top of increasing pregnancy symptoms don't help. Sorry you're going through this too x

Just received a call from Marry stoppins mSI abortion clinic and they said I need to have another consultation than tablets will be posted out and will take up to 3 to 5 days.! Honestly 3 to 5 days can't they see how stressful this is already for a woman who is in the situation and top of that they make it even harder by delaying it as much as they can.!

I understand OP, it took about 2.5 weeks from my first online enquiry to getting the pills. I took the first appointment offered to me each time (phone consult, meeting with the nurse etc). I decided to go in person for the nurse one to collect the pills as I didn’t want to wait even longer.
It’s obviously no one’s fault and the process shouldn’t be too quick - a doctor had to review my medical history because of haemorrhage risk for instance, so I’m glad there are steps and so grateful that it is such a thorough process and provided for us - but it does feel like every day counts. I am now one week post pills and I’ve stopped bleeding and even this bit doesn’t feel like the “end”. I’m so worried that I might still be pregnant or have retained product. I won’t find out for ages if so.
I’m tempted to book a private scan but I don’t know what lie I would make up … I’m guessing the service is one for people who want to be pregnant rather than ones trying to end a pregnancy.

As long as your not feeling sick anymore am sure there is no retain products left inside you, it depends how far were you they say the earlier the better chance of the medication being successful
