So happy and relieved I cried

So you may have seen my post about my successful abortion (in Ireland) last week: https://www.reddit.com/r/abortion/comments/ry5cqj/7_weeks_ma_success_story_in_ireland_at_christmas/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

This is a follow up! Basically I didn’t feel any less anxious the days after I did my test and it coming up negative and STILL had symptoms of bloating, nausea and cramps with tiny bit of bleeding. So I had my post-termination call with the clinic I went through yesterday and told them my concerns, they referred me for an ultrasound in one of the leading maternity hospitals in Ireland this morning. So I went up this morning for it, got an internal ultrasound done and all is GOOD. No sign of a pregnancy in there, there’s still a tiny bit of pregnancy tissue but it literally was not even a concern for the doctor and she said I’d pass it in time or it would come with the next period. I did a pregnancy test too just to confirm. Anyways, I started crying with happiness because of the anxiety this week. I feel like I can finally breathe again since the start of December when I found out.

Good to hear. Had my MA at home here in Ireland today. Had an appointment last Thursday with a local gp then went back yesterday for mife. Took the miso today at 11.30. Was getting kinda nervous cause nothing happened till 2.30 then I started to get really intense cramps that turned into contraction like cramps then started to bleed. The worst went on for like 1 hour. I'd say the pain for me was 9/10. I'd taken ibuprofen and codeine but in the last 30 minutes it was really severe pain, getting sick with the shits passing loads of blood and clots. Then I think I must have passed the featus cause the really strong contractions stopped and I felt okay albeit still a tiny bit crampy. Glads it over. Didn't think it would be that painful but happy it didn't last too long.
