Im definatley going to have an abortion, can this be done in the brook clinic? And even though I am 7weeks pregnant, can I opt for the surgical procedure?

Presume you're in the uk because you mentionned brooks.

You can go to marie stopes or bpas for the procedure.
I'm booked into a bpas clinic in two weeks to get mine.
Don't think there's a huge difference betweet the two as far as I can tell just depends which one is closet to you I suppose.

I'm 7 weeks now too but waiting til 9 weeks cos i'm doin exams and the like at the moment.

I'm just gone 25 and sitting the final exams of my degree this week, thats why I cant get it any sooner. Plus I am travelling from ireland so thats adding to difficulties.

I'm opting for a surgical one too, I might be too late for medical so dont want to risk not being able to have it when I go over because i'll be just 9 weeks then. My first app is fri week and the procedure is the tuesday after.

I'm lucky because the father lives in the uk because he goes to college there and I can stay with him when I go over. But i'm really nervous about it.

Course I will!

You let me know too tho, you're havin yours first! I had to tell the father cos nowhere to stay otherwise and he's my best mate so even if it wasnt his i'd have told him! You should tell someone tho so you have support there for you, if you're having surgical you should have someone with you on the day!

It's weird tho, it's all we talk about at the moment really and i'm so looking forward to seeing him but it's going to be under such unusual circumstances! Ah well.

Who did you decide to go with in the end? I'm going to bpas in liverpool!

Really?..Im from liverpool..Im not sure where im actually going tho..The scan is somewhere on rodney street.
The father is 1 of my best friends too..I do wanna tell him, I just think its a waste of time & stress for him.
This whole experience has been such a shock tho!..I still cant believe its happened. I swear, not a minute goes by where I dont think about this.
A few friends know and my mum..Theyve all been great, especially my mum..But a few friends havent been as supportive as id be towards them given the circumstances.

Omg!
My scan is on rodney st on the 26th and procedure is on parkfield road on the 30th! They are bpas clinics. I had to book all well in advance because I only have a week in uk to fit it all in.

I'm arriving in liverpool on the 26th and stayin in hotel til 28th then i'm staying in wrexham for rest of week til I fly home on the 3rd! The father is my ex-boyfriend who i've been with on and off for bout three years and he's in college in wrexham for bout 2 yrs so stayin with him in his place.

Me and one of my best friends joe are spending weekend in liverpool to live it up and cheer me up before the abortion. My mates have been great to a point, one of em is pro-life but she's trying to understand whats going on! Didnt tell anyone in my family and never will.

Had to tell dave cos we depend on eachother so much and never keep anything from him, I love him and he loves me but just rel isnt working at the mo. But we both keeping fingers crossed fot the future when we are both done in college and living I same country again.

I know exactly what you mean by it being a shock! My god, I had to lie down for a while when the test came up positive! Then I called dave had gave him a near heart-attack. Poor fella was at a gig and I just roared it down the phone so he could hear me! He nearly crashed on his way home to call me back!!
It's def all I can think about! I'm in the middle of my final year exams for my degree and have failed two of em because of all the stress its causing! I'm sick 24/7 and so tired all the time! Had panic attack in an exam cos I just couldnt concentrate on it all I was thinkin about was being pregnant and havin the ab.
All I want is for someone to give me a huge hug and tell me it's all gonna be ok but friends just not doin it for me at the moment. Dave had promised to meet me in airport with huge hug and choccies!! Know i'm gonna cry when I see him but thats nothing new, have cried my own body weight in tears the last 12 days!

I didnt realise it was bpas..How much r u paying? I know where the clinic is too, its by a friends.
U know what, it was 1 of them where ur cryin uncontrolaby for me. I had an exam that day, thank god I took the test after my exam.
The thing is, iv allways used protection, thats whats made me upset. I honestly thought it would never happen to me :cry:
alll I have done is cry, its not as bad of a day..But when ur in bed, its a killer isnt it!
Have u put on any weight yet?..My boobs feel like theyre about to drop off theyre so heavy..Thats what made me take the test. Also the fact my period was 2weeks late.
Do u have msn or anything? Its good to talk 2 sum1 in the same situation as myself.

My boobs are huge and totally uneven, it's the only thing thats made me laugh in this whole sorry mess.
Ya know if ure consultation is on the 26th you may well be in for ab the same day as me if we're having the same procedure. I'm having a local anaesthetic on a tuesday which is the day they do that procedure apparently. Just look for the two irish fools in the corner, and that'll be me and dave!! Lol!
It's costing us 485 pounds in total, a huge amount of money because we have to convert all our money from euro so we lose 1/3 of it's value in exchange rate!!

I pm'd you my msn details, be great to talk about it properly.

Xxxxx
