I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant at my first bpas consultation last friday, I decided to have a medical abortion and my first and second appointment was the following thursday and friday (yesterday and today) by this time I was 7 weeks I've suffered from bad sickness and nausea during the pregnancy.I went for the first pill yesterday and had to force myself not to be sick because the tablet has to stay down for an hour and a half! I felt a bit dizzy and sick and had slight spotting and decided to have an early night my appoint the next day was at 10am
I was so nervous after reading loads of horror stories about medical abortions at my second appointment I was given 4 tablets and was given the option to insert them vaginally myself or for the nurse to do it, I opted to do it myself I was then given some codeine, and two antibiotics to take then and a pregnancy test to take in 3 weeks.
I went home straight away and had normal period cramps and diarrhoea, after about an hour the pain got very intense so I took two tablets of codeine but vomited straight after, I broke out in a sweat! I rang the nurse and she said its ok for me to take two codeine tablets again, which was a relief so I did this and within 15 minutes the pain calmed down and I fell asleep along with my hot water bottle (which has been a life saver). I went to the toilet and felt two tiny jelly like things come out (sorry to much info) but I don't think all the pregnancy has passed as of yet which is slightly worrying but I know it differs with every woman and I'm hoping it will happen by tomorrow its now 9pm and I have mild normal period pains which I'm soothing with a hot water bottle! My sickness and nausea has totally disappeared which is a relief! but I'm relieved to say it wasn't as bad as I worked myself up to think it was yeah the pain is very intense but it is bearable!
