Unwanted pregnancy with underlying blood clotting disorder on anticoagulant

Please no hate.
I already have 4 children (15,12,12&9) and have found out 2 days ago I am pregnant.
brother me or new parter (of 6 yrs but not kids dad) want any more children. He has 2 teenagers.
I have a long history of DVTs and got stents in June/July along with more DVTs in the process. I reclotted whilst taking clexane after the first aren’t op. Had thrombolysis and then had my right and IVC stented as my IVC ruptured. I’ve been in warfarin but spoke to my nurse the day I found out as she was calling with INR results and insisted I stop warfarin and have clexane injections instead. Has anyone had a termination whilst on anticoagulants?
I’m extremely early but think with my history it’ll be more complicated than most.

My health, money, living situation, everything. I just can’t support another child as awful as I feel. I’ve never had a termination. I have my call with BPAS on Tuesday to discuss but it’s stressing me out. Any one been through the same or similiar please help try and calm me because I can’t even eat at this point 😩🙏🏻

Hi Vikiy, I hope you're OK!
I can't answer your question but I had a call with MSI on Friday. I need to have extra medical checks completed due to my physical health so they have booked me a telephone appointment for next Saturday (8 days later) to allow time for this to happen. I'm fairly confident I won't be allowed the medical option and will need to opt for the surgical route.
I hope your call tomorrow goes well and they are able to advise you on what your options are. It's harder having to wait longer if you need extra checks but best to be safe!
Please do keep this post updated, it may help someone in a similar situation later on xx

@Bekindalways21
Thank you for your reply. It’s means a lot.
from what I’ve read (I know you shouldn’t google but when in limbo, it’s hard not to!) it seems I won’t be allowed medical either. I’m not allowed any hormones as I’m so high risk of DVTs- hence being in this predicament.
im finding it extremely tough, my sister hasn’t long found out she is pregnant and is so excited, and I was too, but now I don’t even want to talk baby with her because it just brings me back to what’s going to happen with me, and how complicated/stressful it could possibly be. I feel awful on her. I’ve told her once it’s over with I’ll be back on board 100% but at the minute I can’t talk ‘happy baby’ with her.
I will indeed keep my post updated, as you say, it may help someone in the future as I can’t find any threads in here with similiar.
I hope all goes well and smoothly for you. Thanks again for replying ❤️

Google has actually occupied my mind, it's my own thoughts that are making me worse!
I'm also not allowed hormonal bc but due to family history so I imagine this will not go in my favour either.
I just hope all the extra checks we need won't add too much longer onto the process.
My Sil is pregnant, and I'm really struggling to talk to her or my brother at the moment - I haven't told them so I'm just being quiet atm, I'm sure they'll suspect something if I don't snap out of it soon x

@Bekindalways21 Oh bless you. It sounds like we are in very similiar positions.
hopefully it doesn’t add too much waiting.
I found out very early (by last period I would be 5 weeks today) the earlier, the easier, so I’ve been led to believe.
it’s hard talking about baby’s, when all you want to do is NOT talk about babies or anything ‘happy’ about them. It sounds awful, I don’t know how to explain it. This isn’t something I ideally ever wanted to happen, and I never wanted to ever have a termination, but my entire life just can’t cater for another child. Being female isn’t all that great sometimes, is it. I’m just trying not to think about it, no point talking about it as there’s nothing much to talk about. Just stressing about the termination itself, what will need to be done/happen and how straightforward it’ll be.
I hope yours isn’t too dragged out, and you can get back to life as normally as possible asap 🙏🏻
