I'm having the procedure done through BPAS. I can't get a clear answer on this. How long will I have to stay at the treatment centre?

I'm having a complete and utter nightmare (have another thread here about it all), babysitter has just told me she cannot stay with my children all day as planned.

It's a 3 hour round trip to the centre. My appointment is at 9:30am. Can I expect to be home by 4pm?

My time off request was approved but has now been denied. Will I be OK to work a 12 hour shift (average 11 miles walking, on my feet all day) on Friday?

I am absolutely terrified and unsupported. Please someone just tell me it will be OK.

Don't worry you're not over sharing. We're here x

Not over sharing.
17weeks is a longer process I believe compared to say 10 weeks. So ask the staff what you should expect.

It's all done now. Relieved but sad but glad it's over. No more waiting. Thanks for all your support, it is greatly appreciated x

Hope you manage a good nights’ sleep tonight.

I’m sure there will be lots of emotions over the coming days.

Try to rest when you can and cuddle your DC’s tight when you get home.

I am feeling quite bad this morning. Leaking a small amount of milk, bit crampy although not bleeding a lot.

I have a large lump on my neck, like a swollen gland but bigger, unsure if related to the meds/procedure or just coincidence.

Are you able to speak to anyone at the clinic and ask if it’s connected?
