For Abortion "I was so scared after reading these reviews but honestly this is manageable. I took the first pill and I had very mild cramps near the end of the 24 hours but was nothing. My doctor gave me Cambia for pain and an anti nausea, I suggest you take both to just make the experience more comfortable. Then I took the last 4 pills in my cheeks at 9:30pm. They didn’t dissolve that much so I left them in my cheeks an extra 10 min so 40min total and swallowed what was remaining. I felt mild cramps at 40 min and more moderate at 1 hour. I took them at night so I could go lay down and relax, the meds helped me feel a bit more calm. I fell asleep around 11:30pm and woke up at 3:30 am with heavier cramps for about an hour and felt blood start to come out so I went to the bathroom and saw some blood with the gestational sac which was small like a coffee bean (5 weeks). You’ll be ok! <3"

For Abortion "Missed miscarriage. Took medication at 9am on a Sat. Ate light breakfast and took 600mg of Ibuprofen half hour prior to inserting 4 pills of Misoprostol...heating pad ready to go. I was told that meds would take affect within 1-4 hrs of insertion, but I didn't feel anything until 6 hours after followed by light spotting. Everything progressed quickly afterwards. I was prescribed hydrocodone in case pain became unbearable, but ended up not having to take it. Cramping was mild and heating pad helped keep discomfort at bay. On and off cramping for about two hours then suddenly felt a big cramp and rush, I went to the toilet and clearly felt (and saw) that pregnancy had passed. Cramping quickly stopped shortly after. A week later and I'm still bleeding but starting to lighten up as expected. Ultrasound follow-up confirmed that meds were successful. I had concerns re: pain after reading some reviews; however, I ended up having a good experience despite the heartbreaking circumstances."

For Abortion "Took first tablet 11pm at night felt absolutely fine no sickness nothing. 24 hours later so around 11pm inserted the 4 tablets inside, Vaginally bleeding start 3 hours after had no pain whatever didn’t even take pain releivers as I never take them anyway but had no pain at all. Bled just as you would on a normal period. Bled for 2 days only so happens very quickly for me. Felt normal through out the whole process. Tested week later and nothing came up so it had worked. Would never do this again as not a very nice thing to do but my experience was very easy but this is personally my own experience everyone of course is different ladies."

For Abortion "At 8 weeks pregnant I took misoprostol for abortion. I inserted 4 and swallowed 2 . Then 3 hrs later I passed big clots and bleed heavily for about 6 hrs. I thought I passed the pregnancy but on my follow up, I still had a bouncing baby girl inside. I kept the pregnancy and my baby girl is perfect"

For Abortion "My scan showed I was 5 weeks and 1 day when I took the pill. Waited 24 hrs took 800 mg of ibuprofen and an anti nausea pill on an empty stomach. I waited an hour and put the 4 pills in my mouth. I was ready for the pain, but this did NOT hurt at all. I took more ibuprofen after 6 hours and didn’t need the Norco the Dr. prescribed. I did it at home and NOBODY KNEW. I cleaned my house and took care of my toddler. This worked a lot better for me than the surgical given that I did it in secret and I felt more in control and that I didn’t like being put under and waking up not pregnant. I was very scared of the reviews, though I know everyone’s pain threshold is different. Maybe it’s because I was so early, I’ve given birth before, or that I’ve had 8 day painful and heavy periods for YEARS. Regardless, it worked. I had heavy bleeding for 2 days then it was like a normal period.If you’re really early along, and KNOW your pain tolerance, I would absolutely recommend this!"

For Abortion "I promised myself that when this was all over with, I would share my experience. I set my appointment to take the pills on Mon. I took the Mifeprex at 11 am on Mon, then Tues at 11 am (24 hrs later) I took the next 4 pills vaginally... 4 hrs later I took the last 4 pills orally (between cheeks/gums) & let dissolve. I freaked out because I had cramps but NO BLEEDING at all. Went to sleep, woke up Wednesday - still no bleeding. Panicked. Thought they didn't work. Went to work Wed, then went to bed panicked because still no bleeding. (I live out of state so I couldn't afford to have to travel back to the clinic!) ...Then I woke up this AM (Thurs) at 5 am - I had finally started bleeding overnight in my sleep. I am certain that the pill worked. Sometimes the bleeding IS delayed. I had called the clinic yesterday freaking out; they told me to be patient. They were right. This wasn't too painful at ALL - girls, I repeat, YOU CAN DO THIS. I hope this review helps someone who was as worried as I was!"

For Abortion "For a week before my appointment I kept reading these reviews and they made me scared outta my mind, but I’m here to tell you ladies, calm down!! It’s not that bad. I was 6 weeks and 4 days. I took the first pill at the doctors office then the next day at 11:30am I took 800mg ibuprofen. At 12:10pm I took the set of 4 pills. I didn’t bleed or anything until 3 hours later. When it started it actually just felt like the first day of my period. I felt myself passing the clots very easy , kinda had the runs as well lol . By taking the ibuprofen every 4 hours the cramps weren’t that bad and I carried on a normal day, but stayed at home All day to be safe since the bleeding was very heavy that first day."

For Abortion "Firstly, it is okay to feel worried and scared in such a huge matter. I got my pills by post and would recommend to anyone going through this who would prefer to be in the comfort of their home instead of in and out clinics which may make some feel more anxious. The first tablet was absolutely fine you may feel a little sick, after a day make sure you take some pain relievers beforehand for the first lot of misoprostol it can be painful and I would recommend doing these vaginally instead of oral, everyone’s experiences will be different depending on how you may deal with pain. After 3-4 hours you will need to take a second dose of misoprostol please don’t be afraid this lot is not at all painful it just makes sure everything is flushed out preventing infection! finally please just know you are not alone, you can do this!!"

For Abortion "The next day I was told to insert the 4 misoprostol pills in my vagina any time after 2:30 pm. I was very nervous for the oncoming pain I had read about so I took 1 oxy10/325 at 2pm just to be safe as I have a very low pain tolerance so I couldn't bare having the pain. Also took 1 ibuprofen 800 and 1:30 pm. As well as the nausea pill promethazine. After I inserted the pills I laid down for 30 min and didn’t feel anything until 5 pm. I started feeling some cramping. I fell asleep because of all those drugs I’m assuming, they made me really sleepy. I woke up at 7pm exact with excruciating pain. I took another oxy. And nausea pill. Fell asleep about 15 min later with that pain still going. I woke up around 8:30 and I had no pain whatsoever. I got up to use the restroom and boom , everything came out. I did pass the sac then, I could see it. After that there was no pain at all. It’s the next day now and I feel completely fine. Still some blood coming out but none like the day before."

For Abortion "I would like to share my experience with the abortion pill just cause I read so many negative reviews prior to taking it. What I learned is never believe the reviews you see online everyone reacts differently, my experience was very positive I experience very minimal pain and discomfort. I think people who have positive experiences don't both doing reviews. I recommend getting a prescription for percosets I found that really helped , I took 3 prior to the pill and when it came it just felt like a normal period nothing out of the ordinary or extreme like most people said, also I found a heating pad really helped as well as gaterade to keep hydrated. Moral of the story don’t believe everything you see online cause I was terrified, and everything went very smooth."

For Abortion "Was 7 weeks in when taking mifepristone, felt slightly nauseous. 24h after, took misoprostol vaginally & codeine (30mg) for pain management. Got to bed, and just waited. Light cramping after an hour, with stronger cramping, abdominal pain after 3 hours, pain 5/10. Did feel lightheaded when getting out of bed to go to the toilet, (my boyfriend helped me out to navigate myself from bedroom to the toilet). When I did get to the toilet, that’s when I saw blood clots and the actual pregnancy. Got rid of it, showered, changed the pad and got back to bed. Cramping stopped, felt so much better. Took another 2 misoprostol pills vaginally. Light cramping an hour latter. Fell asleep shortly after, next morning woke up feeling great. Would recommend getting a heating pad & having abortion in evening, that way you can relax in bed and sleep after it’s all over. It’s not that scary nor painful. Of course everyone is different, I’m used to painful periods, and this felt just like that."

For Abortion "Sharing my experience because reading others reviews got me through. Ladies, I’m not trying to sound too cavalier BUT this was almost too easy. I was 6w1d, took the first pill (which slows progesterone) in the doc's office at 10:30 am and had zero side effects (maybe nausea but could’ve been because, you know, pregnant). Anyways, I wanted to get it over with so I inserted the next 4 pills vaginally at 6:30 pm the same day (if you go cheek route you have to wait 24 hours). By 7:30, I was cramping, by 8:30, cramping and passing small clots, by 12:30, passed big clot i.e the sac. I had no side effects beyond feeling like a heavy period. Take some pain pills, use a heating pad, and lay down and use the restroom often, it'll all be over quick. I truly thank you all for your reviews, if you're scared to do this don't be. Take care, ladies."

For Abortion "My experience was pretty smooth I took the tablets orally dissolving them in my mouth after a couple of hours I started to bleed and had strong cramps which was short lived and I covered the pain with codeine and paracetamol. I must of passed the pregnancy tissue quite quickly as after about an hour the blood clots and bleeding slowed down it wasn't that heavy to start with anyway! I had no sickness although I felt sick sometimes again short lived, I also had no diarrhea although I was light headed at some points the next day I have a little discomfort but no more then normal period pains and bleeding is still not very heavy, please don't be to put off by others experiences on here, yes everyone is different and I was scared to death I was up all night the night before and the middle of the night pacing around the house. You will be ok you will get through it try not to be so hard on yourself, I was 5 weeks plus 6 days"

For Abortion "I was 5 weeks and 3 days. I read the reviews on here and almost talked myself out of it but I had to do what was best for me. I spoke with 4 friends who also took this route and they all said it was awful. I was terrified. I took the first pill to stop the pregnancy from growing on Friday at 10am. There was some light cramping. I threw up my dinner that night and slight nausea. I then took the other 4 pills on Saturday around 12:18pm and swallowed the remaining at 12:48pm. Soon after I felt super mild cramping and just relaxed. I went to the restroom around 1:30 no blood, I went back around 2:15 and there was bleeding. Still no severe cramping. Around 3:55pm I went to the restroom and felt clots and a couple plops in the toilet, I had passed the pregnancy. It is now 7pm and I am just relaxing, slight cramping right now. Bleeding is heavy. Before taking the 4 pills today I ate an apple sauce and took 4 ibuprofen. I drank lots of water and just took it easy."

For Abortion "DO NOT LET THESE REVIEWS SCARE YOU EVERYONE’S BODY IS DIFFERENT! I was 6 weeks and 6 days now I’m about 11 hours into the abortion pill and it was an extremely smooth process for me. I took 800mg ibuprofen 30 mins before and took the 4 pills at about 9pm and started bleeding right away. There was very little to no cramping at all for me. I passed some blood clots the size of a lemon, a golf ball and smaller. You will bleed a lot and pass a lot of clots! Overall the experience was very smooth for me. Reading beforehand reviews had me extremely scared that I had anxiety, but everyone’s body is different. I had diarrhea that’s about it and now a regular flow today like a normal period. Don’t let these reviews scare you remember everyone’s body is different."

For Abortion "I took the first pill around 3:30pm, most people on here would say they felt nothing with the first one but it was the absolute worst part for me. I was extremely nauseas thinking it was just the hot weather/pregnancy. But when I got home to the A/C I still felt horrible. I went to bed feeling horrible, woke up the next morning feeling worse. It made me scared to take the next 4 pills. After forcing myself to throw up I still felt awful. After using a heating pad later in the afternoon helped a lot along with a warm shower down my back. 7:45pm (approx. 28 hrs later) I put the 4 pills in my cheeks for 30 min then washed down with water. Prior to that I took Naproxen and Tylenol 3’s 30 min before. Kept the heating pad on all evening. 1hr after washing the pills down I started bleeding. Passed a few clots in the toilet the size of a lime. It wasn’t as painful as I anticipated. Felt just like a period. Painkillers & heating pad were essential! Good luck ladies."

For Cervical Ripening "I inserted this drug misoprostol last night prior to a procedure. Doctor had said I would experience very mild cramping. How wrong she was. The cramps woke me at at 1:00 a.m. and I lay down in a fetal position rocking myself for the next 5 hours in extreme pain. Fortunately, not all the drug had dissolved and I was able to remove about one and a quarter of the two pills. I cannot imagine my reaction if both the 2 tablets had dissolved. Apparently, mine is not a typical reaction but boy! I will never take this drug again. It is now almost 18 hours later and I still have some very mild cramps. No bleeding though."

For Abortion "So I decided to leave a review after being terrified by all the chatter about the pain of the abortion pill. I was about 5 weeks (a week late) took the pills vaginally ( although I was told you can do it orally but it works quicker with less side effects than vaginally) it took about two hours to even feel minor cramps. Then I went to the toilet to check if I had blood. It literally all fell out. Just a large clot and a little blob size sac. Now eight hours later minor cramps and bleeding. It’s a pretty painless experience. Don’t believe the gossip. I am glad I didn’t."

For Abortion "I guess everyone's experience is totally different. I took Misoprostol for abortion 2 days ago and so far the experience has been bearable. NO PAIN AT ALL !! On Nov 5th, I placed 2 Misoprostol tablets under my tongue and let them dissolve and 4 more into my vagina shortly after. (I was a little over 6 weeks pregnant) Nothing happened immediately besides some severe chills about an hour after and the tablets did make my tongue tingle a little. The chills continued for about 3 hours off an on with some diarrhea. After I passed the stools. I went to pee and some clots came out with some blood immediately (NO PAIN). I went back to bed. About 3 hours later a few more clots and blood but no heavy bleeding. On day 2 the bleeding is very minimal and still NO Intense pain.....a little cramp..... almost unnoticeable and that's it. Please don't let the reviews scare you ! For me it is not that bad !"

For Abortion "After reading reviews about this pill I really had my doubts but I really just had to do it. I was given the cytotec and antibiotics, but nothing for the pains. Around 7pm I put 2 pills underneath my tongue and insert 2 vaginally. I got light cramps about 30 minutes later and they got worst in time. Started feeling water coming out my vagina about 3 hours later and by that time the pain was horrifying, I couldn't take it and they lasted for 12 hours. I didn't feel nausea, dizziness, diarrhea but only terrible cramps and I started bleeding 4 hours later after taking the pill. The biggest clot was the size of my thumb. It is doable and good luck Ladies"

For Abortion "It’s sad to hear all these negative reviews that are meant to scare women who are already going through a bad time. I am 43 years old divorced with 3 kids. I decided to get an abortion and was terrified reading these reviews. I was 6 weeks and 4 days. I literally had zero pain. Mild cramping that’s all. I slept for four hours went to use the bathroom and saw blood as if I had a heavy period. Nothing crazy. No pain. Ladies do not pay attention to the crazy reviews. They are most likely fake. I did not see a sac or anything like that. Please don’t be scared you will be fine."

For Abortion "I am writing this review to let you guys know about my experience. I am currently 11 weeks, today I took my second dose, and honestly. The pain is not bad at all. For me, it’s just the heavy bleeding and diarrhea. Every 30 mins I find myself going to the bathroom to change my pads. The pain is a 5 out of 10! I was super scared because I am a big baby when it comes to pain. I took ibuprofen 2 hours later and put a warm bottle on my stomach. Don’t be scared! It’s not painful, just so much blood because I am farther in the pregnancy. To everybody that’s only a few weeks, it’s going to be a piece of cake."

For Abortion "Don't let any of these reviews scare you!!! I was terrified to take this medicine after reading all the reviews, and I mean terrified. I took the first pill before leaving the doctors office at 2 pm. The next day at 11, I took 800mg ibuprofen and promethazine for nausea. At 11:30 I stuck the 4 pills in my mouth, 2 on each side and let them dissolve for 30 minutes, then swallowed with water. As soon as I swallowed, I started cramping as if it was the first day of my period, I started bleeding at the same time. After about an hour the cramping had stopped. I had no nausea, possibly due to taking anti-nausea before. I did experience a little stomach cramping as if I was going to have diarrhea, but never did. Only experience heavy cramping for about an hour and then the rest of the cramping was like a second day period and that was it. I almost opted for surgical method but glad I chose medication and could be in my own home"

For Abortion "Checking back in after the 2 dose of pills. My ultrasound following the 1 dose was not clear “clots still remained but I passed pregnancy” ibuprofen and nausea med 45 min before abortion pills. First time experience was totally fine except for the runs and it wasn’t extreme painful runs neither. Relax girls! Didn’t bleed right away as first time! I was panicking accepting I would need the procedure! But 24 hours later bleeding started lasted 2 days normal period type. No pain! No vomiting! No runs this time! Just feeling drained. Clear ultrasound! Dr approved me and it’s all over now. Be strong!! I know this is a very traumatic experience but don’t let them talk you into the procedure without doing a 2 dose first! Medical covered everything. I did mine at planned parenthood."

For Abortion "After ready a lot of horror stories about medical abortion I told myself after my experience I would write my personal review. Yesterday around 4:30pm I took an ibuprofen 800mg waited until 5pm then placed the 4 tablets in each sides of my cheek, left them in for 30 mins and swallowed almost immediately after swallowing I felt blood drip down my leg, so I went to the bathroom and got in the shower and sat down I thought it would be more comfortable then to just sit with a pad on. At this point I had absolutely NO cramping. After about 20 mins in the shower and 3 large clots later I got out and laid in bed and ate some pizza and watched a movie. Just before 9pm I could feel I was bleeding more so I decided to get in the shower again, and still no cramping, after about 10 mins I got out and sat on the toilet and had a gush of fluid and the pregnancy tissue came out I could see it ."
