For Abortion "I went to clinic yesterday at 10 am. I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. They gave me pill to take in office and gave me 4 pills to insert vaginally with looks like a tampon applicator. The next day I made sure I drank ample water and Pedialyte. I took OTC anti nausea medication, pain meds and antibiotics which they prescribed both. 30 minutes later I inserted all 4 pills. Since I had bad anxiety all day I went straight to sleep. I woke up with period cramping and dull back pain. By 445 I had the urge to use the bathroom like a pressure in my bladder (no pain). Once I sat down I expelled blood and clots. Truth be told it is easy and not painful. Just drink lots of water find time to rest..Get comfortable and don't stress out. I do think it would have been more painful if I didn't take ibuprofen 800mg so take pain meds and everything will be just fine sis I promise! Good luck!"

For Abortion "Guys I was 3month gone I used this drug for abortion and after 2hrs I started feeling pain just like normal cramps and I started bleeding heavily tho it wasn't painful as expected like 30 mins later heavy blood clots started coming and later the product itself came out. After a week I did another test though I'm still bleeding it's says it is positive. What do I do?"

For Abortion "Abortion is never an easy choice, but you always have to do what you feel is right is for YOU and not anyone else. I did decide to do the pill because I felt It was the more natural way of going about this. Once I took It I didn’t feel to bad until about an hour or so later the cramping was pretty intense. It feels like a really really bad period honestly and it came and went faster than I thought. The only thing that was comfortable for me was sitting on the toilet and rocking side to side. The extreme cramping lasted about two hours and I felt like my body was going into shock .. I was shaking, sweating and crying and then it slowly just went away... I recommend sitting on the toilet and just let the clots pass. I feel better now and have very mild cramping that comes and goes. I feel better now that the hard part is over. I promise it’ll be over before you know it."

For Abortion "I had to leave a review because I can't believe how bad some of these are. Some sound so scarey and I don't want people to read these and get scared off. First, pain medication does NOT interfere with this. I was 5 weeks. I was given first dose in office & prescribed nausea meds, 800mg Ibprofen and Tramadol. 24 hours later I took the nausea meds & ibprofen an hour before I put the 4 pills in between my gums and cheek. I had started light spotting. 30 minutes later I swallowed what was left of pills. Within 15 min passed a lemon sized clot. Cramping was like a bad period. I did take 1 tramadol & it made me sleepy. I used a heating pad & had one bout of diarrhea, no nausea. I passed small clots and have been bleeding but no other large clots. I have a follow up ultrasound to confirm it worked. This wasn't as bad as some of the other reviewers experienced and I want people to know that everyone will have a different experience."

For Abortion "I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks 5 days. My baby was measuring 9 weeks and no heart beat. I had 2 smooth pregnancies before so wasn’t expecting this at all My OB gave me the options: sit and wait another 2 weeks, take the pills to help pass the baby, or D&C. I work and didn’t want to end up miscarrying at work and D&C seemed invasive so opted for the pills. Took Mifeprex at my OB office and 24 hours later took 4 tablets of the Misoprostol. Within 1 hour I started feeling ínstense cramps like labor pain. About one hour later I felt a gush like I peed myself and went to the bathroom and I saw like I passed some tissue. Then 15 minutes later I felt another gush and I passed some blood clots. Then after that my cramps became way less severe. I been bleeding ever since but not as heavy. I’m in day 2 currently. I thought I was done passing blood clots but today I passed what look like a fetus. Horrible. Wouldn’t wish it even on my worst enemy."

For Abortion "Took the first pill in the office, didn’t experience any side effects other than some nausea. 24 hours later I took the last four pills at home. Immediately started bleeding and experienced intense and extremely painful cramping. No position could alleviate the pain. I was sweating profusely and threw up. I then got into the shower and the hot water helped the cramps so much!! That was my lifesaver. When I got out I thought the pain was subsiding but it came back, not as hard as the first hour and a half, but like your WORST period cramps you’ll ever have. They lasted another 3 hours but the ibuprofen helped so much. I also used a back massager on my lower back. If you can suffer through an hour and a half of intense pain and then several hours of some cramping you will get through it. You got this!!!"

For Abortion "All of these comments had me so freaked out about how bad it would hurt. If you are planning to do the medical abortion please don’t worry about it. I took the pain medicine prescribed by my doctor and I was fine. It actually hurt less than my normal period."

For Abortion "So just like everyone else was TERRIFIED to take the pill after reading reviews. Everyone is obviously different but it was so much better than I anticipated. I took the pills and got cramping while I kept them in for 25-30 minutes. However as soon as I swallowed them I got the worst cramps ever, I did throw up once. I did take the ibuprofen, nausea medicine, and the tylenol 30 minutes before I took the 4 pills. My cramping lasted about 10-15 minutes and then I fell asleep for 2 hours. When I woke up I didn’t have even blood on my pad so I was nervous it did not take but as soon as I stood up that’s when it started happening. It’s been about 5 hours since I took the pills and I’m completely fine. No cramping, nausea, or pain at all. Just like a SUPER heavy period. I would recommend a heating pad and maybe just someone to be with you for support. But seriously don’t freak yourself out like I did by reading the bad reviews. Side note I was 7 weeks and 5 days."

For Abortion "It worked! I didn’t think it would since I am 14 weeks long. (Sadly, I had to lie to get the pills) The prescription was sent 5 days after my online consultation & 2 days after my payment. I was so nervous but I followed instructions as stated. I began the process the same day I got the pills at 12:30pm & before 10:30pm I basically gave birth. After the last dose I began shaking, having shortness of breath & feeling nauseous. I took my inhaler, drank water & ginger ale then I was fine again. The cramps were horrible after the first dose to the next day & I have diarrhea but it was worth it. I will follow up with a pregnancy test & a doctor to make sure I am okay. My partner assisted me along the way. This has helped tremendously! site that helped me: aidaccess.org They are legit!"

For Abortion "I’m sharing my experience because I was really nervous after reading reviews. Im glad I did it though. My experience overall was good. I took the the 4 pills orally(inside cheek). The cramps hit an hour after taking the medication. Then I got bad diarrhea for about 4 hours. I had visited the bathroom at least 5 times within those 4 hours. I started bleeding until 2 hours after taking the pills. Honestly the bleeding was exactly like a heavy period. My cramps just felt like bad period cramps. I didn’t take any pain medication and I didn’t use a heating pad. I was exactly 5 weeks when I took the pills. My doctor said that’s why my cramps weren’t as bad. The heavy bleeding stopped 24 hours later. I had normal period bleeding for a week and then light bleeding for another week. I bled for exactly 2 weeks and then it stopped. I was relieved. The pregnancy symptoms: nausea, breast tenderness, and bloating took a week to go away."

For Abortion "On 2/19 I was 6 weeks, 6 days. Swallowed pill 1 at 11am. I opted to insert next 4 pills vaginally. I took the nausea pills and ibuprofen once I ate & waited til 4:30pm to insert the rest. Then went to sleep. I woke up at about 8:30-9pm, nothing. I was worried it wasn’t working.I went to bathroom, wiped & saw blood. At around 11pm I began cramping. From 11pm to 12:30am the cramping was at its worst but eased up a little when I sat on toilet. Very few clots. I felt a strong cramp and then a release. I checked the toilet and I saw “it” pass. Next the bleeding increased a bit and I had a bowel movement. This all ended around 1am. I immediately felt less bloated and gained some energy, it was weird. Now 2 weeks later, bleeding was like a period for a week. Then spotting, mostly brown but sometimes dark red, cramping slightly at night, which is worrying me a little. Follow up in a few days, process wasn’t bad. Honestly just ready for my body to get back to it’s normal state. Good luck ladies."

For Abortion "I was 6 weeks and a couple days pregnant. I was very scared of taking this medicine. I finally took the misoprostol on Thursday afternoon and got no effect as I was told it would be. Then on Friday by 3pm I took the four misoprostol pills between my cheeks and gum. For 2 hours, nothing. I was sitting on the couch. I thought I would stand and move to accelerate things and it may be this, but 10 minutes later, still no pain but heavy bleeding and clots. For 2 hours I had important bleeding but no pain or very mild cramps. Even my periods are worst. The day after, I had light bleeding and no pain. I didn't have a lots a pregnancy symptoms, but the ones I had where gone. As for me, this is very good experience."

For Abortion "I'm sharing my experience to encourage those who are about to try the abortion pill. I was 6 weeks pregnant and wanted to do a non invasive procedure but reading the reviews here made me so hesitant and anxious. I did it anyway. I took the first pill in docs office, this one was the worst pill coz it made me throw up all day, but nothing an anti nausea pill couldn't solve, make sure your doc prescribes this to you. I then swallowed an anti nausea tablet, 2 nurofens along with the misoprostol. The trick to it was as soon as I felt light cramping, I swallowed paracetamol+codiene that was prescribed by the docs for pain relieve. I'm glad to say my pain overall was like 2.5/10, slept through the bleeding and about 4 hours later passed some clots, changed pads twice, passed more clots and slept like a baby. It also helps to have someone there next to u for support, hot water pack, hot chocolate and some entertainment!! U got this! "

For Abortion "I was just over 7 weeks. I was instructed to take 2x paracetamol/codeine, 2x ibuprofen 1hr prior. At 8:30pm I put 4 in my mouth. After 30 minutes I swallowed half that was left with water but spewed them up so unsure whether it will work. I could still feel my back pain.. I prayed to God to be kind to me. About 10 mins later the chills stopped and I can feel blood coming out, so I went to the toilet to see and a fair bit of blood and then maybe 3 blood clots fell out. I thought it’s actually working! I laid back down and an hour later felt the same thing more blood and clots came out. I had no cramps, no diarrhea, no pain. My stomach felt no different to when you're on your period. It’s been 24 hours now and bleeding has virtually stopped, it’s just like I have a light period now. Please don’t be afraid after hearing these horror stories, I’m sharing this so you know that you may be quietly surprised. God Bless :)"

For Abortion "Well it was ruff. I found out at 7 weeks that I had a missed miscarriage and my body wasn’t recognizing that the fetus stopped growing. I inserted all 4 pills vaginally and after about two hours started getting some cramps and bleeding. By 6 hours in I was having contractions, throwing up and sitting on the toilet in a lot of pain. I was back and forth from the toilet to the floor and just when I thought I couldn’t take the pain anymore I passed the sac and within 5 minutes felt instant relief. I’m pretty sure I experienced similar pains to labor but I would do it again if I had to. Yes, it was painful but once it was done it was ok. I had heavy bleeding for about 4 days and then it slowed down to normal period amount. Cramping on and off during the week bc I still passed a little tissue a few days later but went to work two days after. You got this! You are strong and once it’s over you will be even stronger."

For Abortion "I told my self that I would be putting a review as I have been reading so many bad ones and I was actually scared of taking the abortion pill but I went to the clinic yesterday it was quick and easy just filled some forms out went through questions and she did me a scan that showed I was less then 5 weeks and She then gave me the 1st pill and anti sickness tablet no side effects what so ever then this morning at 10:30 I took the 4 tablets side of my mouth and let them dissolve. Within 20 minutes of them dissolving I started bleeding straight away and the pain began it just like period pain but a bit worse and back pain but I took pain relievers and 800mg ibroufen I started passing large blood clots within the hour and I aren't in as much pain then I thought I was going to be in. I was honestly scared of taking this medication and I just kept researching all night and day. The pain is very bearable"

For Abortion "Had a one hour period of intense pain (about 3.5 hours after taking the 4 pills) where I was lying on my bathroom floor in excruciating pain due to cramps/contractions and unable to move. That being said, the pain was very short lived and occurred right before the passing of the pregnancy. I had prepared accordingly at the advice of my doctor by taking 800 mg of ibuprofen and Tylenol in advance but it did not take the edge off. I otherwise had minor cramps that felt less painful than a period and did feel fairly weak and tired on the day it occurred. Back to normal the day after."

For Abortion "I am a tough woman with a high pain tolerance yet this was the worst pain of my life. About 30 minutes after orally taking the 4 pills (placing in my gums to dissolve) I began feeling intense abdominal pain and pressure. Within the next 30 minutes I was on the floor, shaking, short of breath and in complete agony. It felt like my insides were being shredded. I ended up going to the hospital and having morphine and an IV. I spent 7 hours at the hospital, passing huge clots on doggy mats in bed because I was too weak to get up. I was violently shaking, trying to breathe the pain away and nothing would help. Even after morphine I still could feel cramps. After 5 hours of these horrific contractions I began to feel better. I am recovering now but WOW, this medication is no joke. I really would not recommend it. I thought ‘that won’t happen to me’ when I read the bad reviews. Be careful ladies, this was a shocking experience."

For Cervical Ripening "I was a little freaked out after reading the reviews and my sympathies to those ladies. However, my experience was much more positive. Inserted two pills the night before my biopsy, Had a little cramping, like a mild period pain and also some light spotting. This was gone by the morning. Used the other two pills next morning, prior to the procedure. Again, a very mild cramping and also a little bloating and "gas". Otherwise, felt fine with no nausea, vomiting, etc. The procedure went off without incident and the doctor had no issues inserting the tool, so overall the little bit of discomfort was worth it. Clearly, we all react differently to this drug but just wanted to reassure and readers that not all reactions are as severe as some of those noted."

For Abortion "The horror stories I read online and the worse case scenarios I was told by the nurse at the clinic. I was terrified of doing this on my own and instantly dreaded this route. But now I am glad I did use it. This is my misoprostol review. It was not the blood bath or pain that I was told. I took my 4 pills vaginally 48 hrs after the first pill. Nothing happened for 4 hrs, then I felt a tightening and a lot of cramping an pressure. I did take a T3 and some Advil half an hour before I took the 4 pills. The pain was not bad and I used a heating pad and laid on my couch. I waited around and nothing, no blood or any cramping and I begun to think it failed. I decided to get up and walk around, so I went shopping and about 2 hours later I felt a gush. I went to the washroom and small amount of blood and blood clots came out and then about 15 minutes later same thing. Went home and had a few more before I released a large clot and then the bleeding stopped. Just some spotting and small cramps here and there. "

For Abortion "I swore I was going to write my experience so here I am! Took first pill at office felt fine in 24 hours the others I dissolved in my cheeks 15 minutes into them dissolving felt light cramps and about and hour in I was in some pain felt like a period so I laid down heating pad on my back. Then all of a sudden I got hot and threw up and went to bathroom passed a clot the size of a lemon, went back to lay down and by then I was in a lot of pain it didn’t feel like period pain it felt like contractions for the next 3 hours, so I got another heating pad for belly. I made it through and I’m glad I chose the pill but I guess everyone is different because the pain in my belly was 100x worse than a period! Don’t be scared tho because you will survive I promise and good luck to you all! Much love"

For Abortion "I was almost 9 weeks pregnant. Took the first pill and didn’t feel any difference at first. Had the lightest cramps later that night but that’s all. Took the second medicine 48 hours later, inserted 4 pills in my vagina. 1 hour later cramping started, but it was just like regular period. Another hour passed and cramping got worse. Quickly it turned into the most painful cramps I’ve even felt in my life. They lasted about 1-1.5 hours before I felt like something ‘unlocked’ and I started bleeding very heavily. Pain decreased immediately. The heaviest bleeding with large clots lasted about 3 hours and then it slowed down. Now over 24 hours later I’m feeling great with very light cramping every now and then. I just wish someone had told me that pain was gonna be that bad so I could prepare for it. I don’t mean to scare anyone but be prepared for almost unbearable pain. Have pain relievers ready. One the pregnancy passes you’ll feel so much better."

For Abortion "I terminated my pregnancy at 6 weeks and 2 days by a medical abortion. I went to a place in Oklahoma, because I felt more comfortable going through this process there instead of Texas where I live. I took the medication as directed. They had me take one pill at the clinic, and then I was supposed to wait 24-48 hours before I took the misoprostol. It took about an hour and a half to two hours for the bleeding to start. All the nurses told me that it would feel like a bad period, and that was exactly what it was like. The cramps were manageable.I was taking 800 mg of ibuprofen for the first 3 days. I did end up going through 2 boxes of pads over the course of the week. I know everybody is different, and we all have different reactions to medication. I just wanted to share my experience. I hope it helps others going through a very difficult time."

For Abortion "I was 12 weeks when I went for my first ultrasound and they told me the baby had stopped developing at 8 weeks they did a follow up appointment to see if anything had changed and it didn't they told me it was a missed miscarriage and to speed up the process I was prescribed two pills inserted vaginally of cytotec I took it at 5:30pm by 11:30 I had started bleeding and had contractions at 2 am I was bleeding to much and went the the hospital where I passed the baby and was released at 8am the same morning it was probably the worse pain I have ever experienced but I found it a better option then the D&C, it worked for me but I'd advise to anyone taking it to take ibuprofen or Advil before hand to help with the pain"

For Abortion "Hey girls! Don’t be scared, you can actually do this. I was 4weeks gone when I realized I was pregnant! I had no choice than to go for medical Abortion, I took 4 pills of cytotec around 6pm and I allowed it dissolve in my mouth for 30mins then I rinsed it off with water! I nearly throw up but I had to control myself! 1hr later I was sitting and eager to know how it feels, I was really ready for all the pains but unfortunately I slept off, 3 hours later I felt a very heavy cramp going on and off. Meanwhile I have started seeing blood b4 the cramp started . I can’t even sit or lie down anymore, I was so restless , I only feel more comfortable while sitting in the toilet , I was there vomiting, pooing and passing out big big blood clot. It was such a great experience I will never forget"
