[Confusedandlost1812]

Hi!

im having an abortion, I rang MSI as soon as I had (3) positives yesterday. They’ve got be booked in for the end of next week. I’m around 6 weeks now, and wanting an at home abortion with pills.

what was everyone’s timelines with MSI? Thank you (Marie Stopes)

Hey @Emmav2020 thinking of you today. Mine was over quite quick about 2 hours then the worst was over with it I remember

@Confusedandlost1812 just woke up had a bit of blood feel very shaky. The other 2 tablets you take 3 hours later do they have to be dissolved in the mouth or can you take then vaginally? X

Hello, hope your doing ok! Has there been any progress? How far along are you? Please try not to worry. It’s really not as bad as all the horror stories x

@Confusedandlost1812 @Anonymous354 just the bleeding has been light then today I pass 2 big clots the size of like a plum, anyone else have this? I'm panicking now. Been a week and half x

Hello,

new to mumnet but please help . I’ve just had a baby 5 month ds and a 4 year old ds. I’ve found out I’m pregnant but I cannot keep the baby sadly already really struggling. What’s the best route ? It’s really early so I was thinking the pill by post I’m really rural and have no help . Any advice please 🙏

Hi @Loveandlight2023 . Hope you're ok, an unplanned pregnancy throws up all sorts of emotions regardless of how certain you are of your choice.
If you're sure you don't want to keep it then I'd call bpas or MSI - if you're UK based then one of those will most likely be contracted to provide services in your area, they'll tell you which organisation you need to use. Then you complete a request for a consultation either online or by phone & they will take things from there. If you're sure of dates, early enough in pregnancy & don't have any underlying reasons why you might need to be seen first then you should be able to get pills by post if that's what you prefer.

Here if you need to chat.

hello, hope you are ok. Try not to worry. I was around 4/5 weeks when I did mine at home. It’s wasn’t as bad as the horror stories make out. I had about 20/30mins when I just needed to be alone in to the toilet. But aside from that I was able to carry on like normal just like a heavy period. At the time I had an 8month old and a 4 year old. Apart from doing the school run I just stayed home snuggled up watching films. How far along are you? I do believe the pills are sent quite quickly in the post. But I collected mine. I don’t know if that’s an option for you? X

Thank you so much for this . You have no idea how helpful it’s been . I’ve spoken to boss and they can deliver so I can be at home with the baby and the 4 year old will be at school x

Thank you so much xx

Whoops I meant bpas

Glad your sorted. It’s not easy but it will soon be over and you can enjoy Christmas with your little ones. Let us know how you get on. Here for support if you need it x

Hi @Loveandlight2023 , thinking of you during this.

it’s coming up to a year since my abortion, and BPAS were very friendly, very quick (even with the Royal Mail strikes!) I was around 7 wks and even then it wasn’t as bad as the horror stories. A couple hours was painful (but didn’t need anything stronger than para and ibuprofen) then it was just a heavy period. It’ll be over with soon! All the best
