Everything went well
The staff at the Bristol clinic were absolutely fantastic. I am so grateful to each of them for making my experience positive and as nice as it could have been. Thank you
The service was absolutely lovely
Made me feel relaxed and not judged by decision
Staff were amazing and completely understandable. Made me feel at ease, comfortable and not judged at all. I would 100% use again if necessary and recommend to friends/family if need be.
The abortion left me with complications which later lead to me having to go under general anaesthetic after an A & E visit resulting in severe infection. I had the medical abortion (the two pills). I took the first when I was there and then the second 24 hours later, i started to bleed a few hours after the first. The second pill invoked the most serious agony I have ever felt in my life. I was not warned at all for the amount of pain I was going to be in- over the counter medicine did not help AT ALL. I asked if I would need to be prescribed pain killers but was told no, this was wrong. I was offered a surgical abortion, but I had to wait a few days longer which in hindsight everyone should do as this is agonising and scary to go through as a reasonably young adult.
4-5 days after I started having signs of infection which got a lot worse and I had a fever and intense cramps. After calling 111 I got sent an ambulance to A and E. I had left over tissue in my womb and it was infected and severely swollen. i was not warned at all about this, all i was told was that 3 in 100 abortions do not work with the method of pill taking that I choose to do. 4 days later I had to go under general to have a D&C which is what happens after a miscarriage.
I never received a single check up phone call from Marie Stopes and not sufficient after care at all. They did not mentally or physically prepare me in the slightest for the pain I was going to have to go through and had I not heard stories from a friend getting Sepsis I may not have called 111 and would have battled with serious infection longer. I had to go on two extremely strong antibiotics after which has ruined my stomach. I am traumatised and extremely emotional almost 3 weeks after the D & C and just overwhelmed at the entire procedure.
Avoid Marie Stopes if possible, and have a surgical abortion, the invasive aspect of it is worth it to not have to go through the pain. Having gone through both an invasive procedure and the medical abortion I can testify that it was so much easier to recover from mentally and physically.
Made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout
Excellent service I couldn't fault it in anyway the staff are amazing
