Found out I was pregnant last week at 4 weeks exactly after Pill failure. Medical abortion is booked for next Tues (will be 6 weeks exactly); this was earliest appointment as MSI is only provider in my area.
I have health anxiety and panic disorder and generally very anxious about taking new medicines or attending hospital/doctor, etc. after a pretty bad panic attack after having a vaccine a few years back. I have an irrational fear of having an allergic reaction or fainting.
I’m already getting so anxious about taking the tablets - I’m so worried I’ll have really bad side effects and need to go to hospital. I think it’s the mifepristone I’m worried about the most as I’ve read about some pretty horrible side effects.
Equally, I could switch to a surgical abortion but I’d have exactly the same anxieties, plus would face a much longer wait.
I don’t really know what I’m seeking by posting here but just wanted to get it off my chest as I’m already a wreck with a week to go.
