I wanted to share my experience as other posts on reddit had helped me incredibly during the entire process. It can be a daunting and isolating experience, thankfully I had a very supportive partner who was there with me every step of the way but I hope whoever is out there going through it knows that they are not alone and that everything will be okay.
I went to the family planning association in Wanchai. On the first visit you will meet with a nurse who will ask you to pee into a cup and test using a pregnancy stick to double check that you're pregnant. They will ask about the first date of your last menstrual period to get an idea of your gestation - mine was 6 weeks and 1 day. They will send you a list of clinics to go to where you can get your blood tested (free of charge) - I went to one in central. They will also ask about when your last pap smear was done.
I was supposed to follow up with a second appointment with a doctor 7 days later at family planning, but was later informed that from my blood test, they found out that I was anemic (low haemoglobin levels) and so I could no longer continue with an abortion at family planning. They wrote me two referral letters - one for a public hospital (Queen Mary) and one for private hospitals. There are only four private hospitals in Hong Kong where you can terminate your pregnancy (TOP): Gleneagles, Hong Kong Sanitarium & Hospital, Matilda International Hospital, and Union Hospital.
We heard that it can take 2-3 months to get an appointment at the public hospital, and though it is a much more affordable option, I personally was not dealing well with all the hormonal changes and nausea. At this point, my gestation was 7 weeks. We decided to go with Matilda and it was very straightforward - we called them and they were very upfront about the costs and procedure. Made an appointment for the surgical abortion a week later.
The entire process at Matilda (doctor's appointment + admission + surgical abortion) lasted about 6.5 hours. My gestation was 8 weeks at this point. During the doctor's appointment, they will do an ultrasound and ask about your medical history etc. you can also ask any questions regarding the procedure during this time to help ease your anxiety. The surgery was super quick, probably 30-45 minutes. I was given monitored anesthesia care (MAC) and was fast asleep during the entire process. Woke up naturally, ate some food, rested for another hour or so in the ward and went home once I felt good enough to do so. The doctors and nurses were all super lovely and never at any point was I made to feel uncomfortable. Really grateful that everything went smoothly. The entire package costs HK$30,000.
I tried to keep it as short and clear as possible, but please feel free to message me if you have any other questions~
