For Abortion "I was 8 weeks pregnant. I took the first pill at the doctor’s office at 2 pm on a Friday. I didn’t feel nothing at all for that one. I took the other four in my cheeks the next day at 9pm and by 9:30 they were mostly dissolved but, I washed it down with water. The only pain medication I took was ibuprofen 30 mins before. As soon as it dissolved I noticed a little bit of cramping for like 20 mins and I also threw up my meal. But that was the only time I threw up, I didn’t feel any nausea. My cramping started to get worse for the next three hours. I was sitting on the toilet for like 40 mins with diarrhea and cramping with only a bit of blood. By 12:00 am I was bleeding more and passed four clots. After that my cramping had stopped and then, I was just bleeding like a normal period. Just have some water, relax, and a heating pad and you’ll be fine! Don’t let these bad stories scare you away."

For Abortion "I was 6 weeks pregnant. I read a lot, I researched a lot and on top of that my friend shared her horrifying experience of the same and so I was so scared. I took 1st pill and next after 36hrs. I felt pain after 1 hour but really big clots started flushing out. 3-4 hrs heavy bleeding and mild cramps and felt comfortable after that. As per my experience, be mentally prepared for all conditions have someone by your side and a hot water bag. You'll be fine Always remember god is with you."

For Abortion "I definitely worked myself up a lot before going through this experience. Long story short I caught my pregnancy really early to where there was no baby or gestational sac formed yet. So the process was VERY easy for my physically. I had very little cramping for 10 mins after the pills dissolved. And about 30mins to an hour I was bleeding with a lot of clots. As each day goes on the bleeding gets better well for me at least. If you’re thinking about doing this I would recommend! Everyone is different keep that in mind but mind over matter. This was a BIG lesson learned and I will definitely not let myself go through this again. Good luck ladies!"

For Abortion "I am writing this now one week post abortion. I took the first table on Tuesday at 11.30am I had a phone consultation and was deemed safe to have the procedure at home and the tablets sent through the post after the first tablet I went to bed and felt fine. The following day at 12.30 I took four more tablets vaginally, I was advised to lie down for 30 minutes to make sure the tablets didn’t come out. As I sat up I had started bleeding light cramping. I took ibroprofen 15 mins before the tablets and was fine. At 13:18 I passed the sac. Bleeding continued to be heavy with more clots for about two hours after no heavier than a heavy period and no more pain than heavy period. I went about my day as normal just took it easy and tried to stay as calm as possible. I was advised to take the medicine vaginally as you have less side effects. Since then I have stopped bleeding after one week, stay calm and don’t believe everything you read on the internet. You’ve got this!"

For Abortion "Hi just wanted to share my experience for those who may be worried. I had worked myself up massively before starting this process after things I had read online. I was around 8 weeks pregnant. I took the first tablet on Friday and was quite sick the Saturday during the day. On Sunday I went in to hospital and had the 4 tablets inserted vaginally and started bleeding around an hour after this. I was also provided with an anti biotic to be inserted. I felt slight cramps nothing worse than a period and I had passed the pregnancy after around 3 hours. Had some larger blood clots but nothing too extreme and was in and out of the toilet for a few hours. I left the hospital at 5 the same day and now have only slight bleeding the next day. Please don’t overly worry and read the bad things online has my experience was nothing like the horror story’s! Good luck to everyone going through this you can do it!"

For Abortion "AMAZING EXPERIENCE. 6 wks pregnant: at 5pm I dissolved the Misoprostol. I was so nervous, didn’t even want to do it. A lot of these stories said terrible things. 30 mins & I swallowed them, cramps started to build up 6/10. Was a lot to handle, I was shaking & cold & worse than my regular period cramps, but I laid down with a heating pad & got through it. ONLY 20 minutes later they decreased. This was the ONLY time it was bad. I never felt sick at all, just shaky for those minutes. I went to the bathroom & lots of small clots & blood came out nothing scary or painful! I was hungry, ate some dinner & cramps were barely there. 8pm, fluids came out then more clots. NO lemon sized clots! biggest was 1 golf ball sized. I think I passed the pregnancy right away. After that just heavy period bleeding. Next morning, no pain, some blood came out. I slept perfectly. I hurt for no more than 20 mins & IT DOES END! Get a heating pad, made it more comforting. SO EASY. You’ll be fine!"

For Abortion "Ok these reviews scared the living daylights out of me and this turned out to be very anticlimactic. I am around 6 weeks and took my pills in my cheeks (zofran and ibuprofen 800mg 1 hour prior). No nausea, no vomiting. Felt more sick from the 4 z-pak pills I took last night. Light cramping began within an hour (similar to day 1 period cramps). Passed a clot the width of a golf ball 2 hours in. Slid right out, no pain. Have passed many smaller clots since with day 2 period cramps coming and going. Haven't even soaked a maxi pad, it comes in waves and usually passes when I'm on the toilet. Even went to Home Depot. Walking around helps the cramping! Everyone is different but relax- everything will be okay!"

"Listen PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Don’t listen to all these horrifying comments. I know most of these are clearly women having honest horrible experiences but EVERY WOMEN IS DIFFERENT!!! I read these comments and literally scared me so much that I cried inserting them Vaginally because I was so scared and mortified! I am 5 weeks pregnant and had a “missed miscarriage” I inserted the pills last night before I went to bed and I had very very light cramping, like I just had a light period. The next morning I woke up bleeding. I was fine all morning no cramping or anything. Around 11am I went to the bathroom and passed 2 grape size clots and now I’m just bleeding... no cramps. I just pray everything has passed and there is no need for any other intervention. I also pray any of you out there going through this have the same outcome I did. Good luck lady’s!"

For Abortion "I took my first tablet of mifepristone and had no problems at all. 48 hours later I decided it was time to take the second pills the time I had been absolutely dreading. I think the thought of the baby sac coming out scared me because I didn’t know what to expect and I was just terrified. The stomach cramps started about an hour after taking the tablets but it was completely bearable, I have heavy periods anyway and to me it just felt like a heavy period. There was a lot of blood but then again it has genuinely just been like a normal period. I've had no sickness or diarrhoea with the medicine. The worst part was the sore throat after letting the tablets dissolve in my mouth!! Please don’t read the scary reviews and make yourself worse like I did, the absolute worst part for me was the build up to getting my medication and letting my mind run wild! Get a hot water bottle and make yourself comfy,it’s nothing to be afraid of you will be absolutely fine ladies!!"

For Abortion "I’m 20 years old with a very strong stomach. I took the first pill at the clinic around 11:30, I was tired and slightly nauseous but I was prescribed promethazine which helped the nausea. by 9am the next morning I was bleeding a small amount. I decided to eat a meal, take 800mg of ibuprofen that I was prescribed and another promethazine for nausea. 45 minutes after the pain medicine and nausea medicine, I placed 2 cytotec in each cheek - which dissolved in 15 minutes. I felt the most intense cramping and pain and was honestly screaming in agony. The pain was so severe I threw up everything in my stomach and had diarrhea, this all lasted about 30 minutes and then I began to do breathing exercises that helped calm the pain and made me fall asleep. After that I had very moderate cramping that was very manageable. Drink lots of water, sleep a lot and stay calm. You can do it."

For Abortion "I was 8 weeks pregnant . In medical center they gave me first pill and told me I can expect nausea and bleeding, I didn't have any symptoms. I came back 48h later, they put 2 pills into my vagina and 1 in my anus for the pain and told me to lay in bed for 2 hours. After 4 hours of nothing, they have me 1 more pill to dissolve under my tongue. After about an hour I went to pee and something just gushed out of me with little blood. I went to ultrasound and they said abortion was successful. I was bleeding about a week after that, just like normal period. No pain and no cramping at all for me. I had more painful periods than this. Guess everyone is different. Good luck."

For Abortion "I was 6 weeks 2 days pregnant, and this was my first abortion. I took mifeprex first, which only caused some nausea and tiredness. The next day I inserted vaginally 800mg of misoprostol, I started feeling light cramping and bleeding 40 mins after inserting the pills vaginally, the cramping did increase a bit but nothing crazy! About 1 hour and 30 minutes later I passed the sac and a gush of blood just came out, it took me by surprised cause I was expecting some intense cramping before the sac would come out but this wasn’t the case. I freaked out when I saw all the blood and the sac, it took me about an hour to calm down but my whole experience wasn’t horrible. I experienced throughout the day menstrual like cramps/bleeding and lower back pain also lots of little blood clots. I’ve learned my lesson and will not allow this to happen to me again."

For Abortion "Found out I was pregnant soon after finding out I was hit with horrendous morning sickness which was exacerbated by reading the reviews and I was being sick up to 5 times a day and all I could think about was how sick I would feel when taking these pills! I took the first tablet a day before this just made me feel more sick. 26 hours later I took the 4 Misoprostol with two 15mg codeine. As soon as I started feeling cramps I took another 2 codeine, but they started coming fast and sharp. After about 30 mins I had to sit on the toilet and had some diarrhoea and there was bleeding, I was also sick at the same time (not pleasant). I had about 40 mins of sharp pains but bearable they stopped within the hour and I passed some clots. I closed my eyes every time I flushed so I never saw anything. A day later I'm having a regular period and have my appetite back and have got back to my daily life! I will never get into this situation again. For me it was not as bad as what people make had! Good luck!"

For Abortion "This was the easiest most painless process that I had to go through, so not everyone has a bad experience. I took the first pill at the clinic at 1pm, took an 800mg ibuprofen at 4pm, and inserted the 4 pills vaginally at 5pm. I was waiting for the cramping to start, nothing. Felt a tiny bit of pressure but nothing painful, went to the bathroom and I passed the sac as well as blood clots. Then I felt cramping for about 5 min but nothing unbearable - felt like a period. Went to the bathroom again an hour later and passed a lemon sized blood clot. After that I fell asleep and continued to bleed, woke up and no more blood clots and pregnancy had passed. These reviews had me SO scared, I cried and couldn’t sleep because of all the anxiety, but the process was easy and painless for me. Just make sure you are in a comfortable safe space with a heating pad and ibuprofen, keep yourself distracted and everything will be fine."

For Abortion "I was 7 weeks 6 days and this was my first abortion. Took the first pill at the clinic and the next day took nausea and pain meds before putting the 4 pills in my cheeks to absorb. After taking all the pills I threw everything up right away. I started having mild cramps about an hour later. Went to the bathroom when they got more severe and threw up again, the cramps we’re extreme for about 30 min and I threw up 2 more times until bile was coming out. It was very painful for me but it didn’t last too long. I passed 3 large blood clots before the baby sac came out and then the cramps immediately subsided. I had heavy bleeding for the rest of the day and by the next day I felt back to normal. It’s been 2 weeks and I’m still bleeding but it’s a very light amount now. If you can keep down the pain meds then I’m sure it won’t be nearly as painful. I felt so relieved after but still a little sad and depressed about the reality of the situation. Good luck, you will be okay :)"

For Abortion "I took the first tablet Mifepristone and then inserted the 4 Misoprostol tablets the next day. I expected to fall asleep and wake up ‘in a pool of blood’. I slept for an hour and woke up with some cramping. It hurt, but wasn’t unbearable — It progressively worsened. I went for a wee and had a little bit of bleeding, but not much. I fell asleep again and woke up at 2:30 I was sure I was going to be laying in this ‘pool of blood’ but, nothing. 5 hours passed and still no bleeding. I went for a wee and clots came out. My cramps did hurt, but they only became intense the last 45 mins. It helps having someone supportive there with you, taking pain and having a hot water bottle. Everyone is different and will experience this differently. As women, we are born to be prepared for Mother Nature and what it throws at us. A little bit of cramping? Bring it on! If you’re nervous , then let me tell you this: you are strong and you’ve got this. This pain is only temporary. ❤️"

For Abortion "Babies heart stopped beating around 9 weeks (measured 6 weeks 2 days). Decided to go for medicine vs d&c. I woke up at 5:30am & took nausea medicine, 5mg oxy, and 800mg ibuprofen. Had a light breakfast and 30 mins later inserted vaginally. Was able to fall back to sleep. Cramps started 1st and 30 mins later bleeding came. 10:30-11:30am I’d say my pain was a 6/10. It wasn’t fun but it was manageable. Took next dose of pain relievers & was able to fall back asleep until 1pm. Used the restroom and passed the sac. Cramping reduced down immediately after. I’m in little to no pain now, just bleeding a lot. Been taking it easy all day. So definitely recommend taking it in the morning on a day you can spend just laying around. I had no nausea, no diarrhea, no chills, no fever. It honestly wasn’t half as bad as I hyped myself up to believe it would be! You’ve got this ladies!"

For Abortion "I’m not usually one to write on these pages, but I had to share my experience after being so scared from reading all of the traumatic reviews. I took Misoprostol for an incomplete natural miscarriage. As scared as I was to take this medication, I was far more scared of a D & C and being put under. And I am SO glad I choose Misoprostol. It couldn’t have been easier. I literally had NOT ONE cramp, zero pain. Just lots of bleeding and an upset stomach. It was effective and over within just over 24hrs. I know everyone is different and I feel for those who have had a bad experience but I hope to put others mind at ease that there are positive outcomes too!"

For Abortion "I wanted to write this review and share my experience with the medical abortion at exactly 8 weeks. First off I'll start by saying RELAX I stayed up reading these exact reviews over and over before my appointment and I was terrified. I honestly think some of these reviews are meant to scare you. Anyways after the first pill was taken at the appointment I took the misoprostol exactly 24 hours later which for me was 345pm placed the four pills in my cheeks for 30 minutes and washed them down afterwards. By 430pm I was bleeding by 5pm the cramps started so I took one ibuprofen 800mg and the cramps lasted until 930-10p.The cramps were like day 2 heavy period cramps but they were not excruciating they were manageable and I passed maybe 6 clots overall and had moderate to heavy bleeding but overall I felt fine. I wasn't sure if I passed everything because I thought I would've been in pain after reading these reviews but after an ultrasound this morning it was confirmed I was no longer pregnant."

For Abortion "Taking the 1st pill was fine 24hrs later took the 2nd pill (vaginally )after reading all these reviews I felt so anxious I was prepared to be in a lot of pain. It was just like having bad period pains for me I know everyone's different. I'd say it took about 1 and half hours before I passed the biggest clot which came out really fast and smaller ones after that and now just like a normal period. Now to wait 3 weeks to take the test hopefully everything has worked . Ladies please don't worry you will get through it ."

For Abortion "Every woman is different but hopes this helps. I was 6 weeks pregnant, nervous and very upset. I took the mifepristone- felt slightly nauseous but felt fine. I took 4 tablets of misoprostol 24 hours later. I took them vaginally- the leaflet says that dissolving them by mouth increases chance of sickness and diarrhoea. I only had slight cramping and light bleeding. I kept hydrated and relaxed on sofa. I took 30mg codeine before taking the misoprostol. I took the next 2 tablets vaginally, 4 hours later with 30mg codeine. I had stronger cramping; like having moderate period pain for a prolonged amount of time. I used a hot water bottle. Bleeding was now heavier but not horrendously so. Didn’t feel nauseous but felt just slightly feverish and shaky. From taking the tablets at 3.30pm, I was having cramps at midnight- for me they were completely bearable. They began to subside. Went to bed at midnight and woke up the next day feeling fine. Hope you are all okay."

For Abortion "I read all these terrifying reviews I was so scared to take this I cried I was 7 weeks. I took my first pill at the clinic and had to wait the 24-48 hours. I noticed slight cramping and spotting around 28 hours but it was almost unnoticeable. My stomach felt “off”. I took my 4 pills dissolved in cheeks at 36hr. Dissolved 30 mins and swallowed, 50 mins in, felt a little blood come out. I ran to the toilet and plops and blood were coming out. I’d say mild period or cramps like food poisoning at most. I stayed in the bathroom for 30 minutes on the toilet just to try and get it all out. My cramping basically stopped at this point. I was still bleeding but less than the start. I looked around in the toilet and saw I already passed the sac. I put a pad on and made dinner. No dizziness, no nausea, barely any cramps. It was done in 30 minutes. I took 200mg Advil. I’m pleased with my experience. Bleeding 5 days later no cramps"

For Abortion "I am 20 years old and I was 6 weeks and 4 days when I had my ultrasound. I took the mifepristone in the clinic at 11:30am on day 1. I then went home and on day 2, and by 11:30am I had already started bleeding. I then took 800mg of ibuprofen and 10mg compazine at 12pm, next at 12:30pm I took the misoprostol. At about 1:30pm the cramps came on hard and fast. I have to be honest when I say that the onset of the cramps was painful, 30 minutes after the cramps started, I did also throw up. The pain was so intense I decided to get in the shower, and 10 minutes after I had been in the shower the cramps immediately became lighter and very mild. A week later at my follow up appointment everything worked out. If you can pull through 30 minutes of heavy cramping, you will be fine! It was completely worth it, and I hope this helps someone who feels nervous and is having to decide between abortion methods."
