MA at 8 weeks

[Tpj96]

Hi
I'm about to start my second lot of medication today and I'm feeling very anxious could anyone please give me their honest experience having a medical abortion at 8 weeks and any tips on how to make it as bearable as possible please

I have just inserted my tablets and was shaking with anxiety but know I am doing this for all the right reasons now to just lay here and wait will keep updating this maybe to help anyone else in the future feeling how I feel

Nearly 3 hours since i inserted the 4 tablets and my bleeding has begun not heavy at all yet and I noticed I passed a few small clots can feel slight cramps but only very slightly as I took the codeine 30 minutes before inserting the tablets so far no side effects from the tablets

Hi @Tpj96 , I haven't got any experience but didn't want to read and run. How are you feeling? I hope you are ok x

Thank you for taking the time to comment, I'm ok had abit of a breakdown this is so hard mentally to go through but I'll be fine thank you for asking xx

Sending you love. I went through this in the summer. It’s so very mentally hard. I hope you’re ok.

Hope you are ok? I did it last week (6 weeks) and it wasn't anything as bad as I was worried about - physically. It's a mental rollercoaster though, and I feel low this week, although it was the right thing. I hope you are ok.

Hi
I am looking for some advice from anyone that has been through similar experience, I have a positive pregnancy test (unplanned) my partner and I are 30 - have been together 15years live together etc. since the news I have been looking up medical abortion I have had a consultation with MSI but broke down crying on the phone. I am now booked in for their counselling service, my boyfriend is currently away - I haven’t told him the news as wouldn’t be face to face, my thoughts are to go ahead with the termination and don’t tell my bf about this that way he will be saved from the grief and I fear he will judge me for wanting the termination, I feel his point of view would be to continue the pregnancy. My reasons are that I don’t feel ready, we have lots of travel plans this year and into next which I would have to miss out on, I am also currently studying and have around 6 more exams to pass before being fully qualified- at which point my salary increases by around £10k. I just think I’m 1 years time we would be in such a better position, but I am aware that being 30 already I may not be afforded the luxury. Do you think I should discuss or go ahead with my decision and keep him out of it. I do wonder how easy that would be as I seem to be getting emotional out of nowhere but I am struggling.
