Medical Abortion

[TheHallows]

Hi,

I am 4 weeks pregnant and took the first tablet at 8:30pm last night. No real affects from it aside from some slight bleeding this morning at about 9am.

I am due to take the next lot of tablets this evening. Shall I still do them vaginally or orally?

Anyone been in this position?

I am doing ok thank you. I’ve stopped completely now as well.
I’ve arranged a counselling session as well through them so I am hopeful that will help. I’m generally doing ok though :)
I haven’t done anymore tests yet will probably do one over the weekend and then do the other BPAS next weekend as that’s the 3 week mark

@A1C4 Do you have anyone you can talk to in your day to day life? I didn’t accept the counselling but wonder if I should have.

Some days I’m okay and others I wonder if things could have been different. But I know going forward I would have been high risk after the birth of my last child and I couldn’t risk anything happening to me and leaving my children and husband without me. It just makes me feel like it’s my fault we had to take this route.

Yeah I told 2 of my best friends and one of those I also work with. So I speak with them. You can pick up the counselling at anytime so it’s not too late if you wanted to ring them now and ask for the number.
you are entitled to 3 sessions :) it’s not too late!!
yeah I’m the same, some days I’m ok and others I’m not.

@A1C4 That’s good. It’s only me and my husband that know so only have each other to talk to.

I am feeling a bit more positive today. It’s still there in my head but I’m hoping it will get easier though I’ll never forget.

Let me know how your test goes this weekend.

Will do the BPAS one next weekend though not sure there is much point as the high sensitivity ones are negative.

Yeah I will, gunna test tomorrow morning and BPAS one next weekend same as you. I’m hopeful the one tomorrow will be negative

like you I am thinking about it and yeah I will never forget either. Just constantly playing in my mind, some days are better than others

@A1C4 I don’t think you’re ever prepared for how much it goes through your mind. And I feel like all I have seen is pregnant ladies the last few weeks.

Let me know how you get on. I’m sure it will be negative. X

I feel the same!! On all my social media as well it’s been pregnant people and even in shops seeing clothes etc but every first time seeing something relating to pregnancy is a hurdle overcome that’s how I’m trying to see it anyway

@A1C4 Yes, it’s just everywhere I look at the moment. Had a bit of a cry with my husband this morning. It’s a very odd mix of emotions as I know it was the right decision but I wish it hadn’t been.

Hope you’re okay today and your test is all good.

My test was negative this morning so hoping the BPAS one will also be negative next weekend.
yeah I have moments like that too and where I wish it hadn’t of been the right decision but hopefully in the future myself and my partner can try again and it will be the right time and everything will be better

@A1C4 Thats good news and I am more than certain there will be a right time for you and your partner. It’s just now wasn’t the right time.

I did my BPAS test yesterday as I felt like it was hanging over me and it was negative so it’s all done now. I knew it would be but you know when it just feels like it’s hanging over you?

Ahh I can do mine tomorrow! which I will probably do, I think it’ll be negative but still anxious about it. I just almost wish I didn’t have to go through the process you know. I’ve had a tough week emotionally and I also think I could be due on as my normal cycle would start in about a weeks time but I know it might not due to having the termination but I feel like my body is trying to regulate you know??

how’re you doing?
