For Abortion "I started Mifepristone at the doc. Next day I felt fine, light period, (I’m apparently the 5% that bleeds from it) BUT I started to feel dizzy, light headed, cramping was 3/4 and bleeding became HEAVY. I had clots and I think already passed the sac in the morning. Called the doc to confirm to still take Misoprostol. Answer was yes (to get everything out). Took them orally. After about 15 min the cramps intensified. I sat on the toilet, crawled to the shower, cramps got to a 8/9, I moaned, got shaky, had cold sweats, and my vision got blurry. I was in solid pain for about 45 min. They prescribed me 800mg ibuprofen and it did close to nothing. Probably the pain is a 5/6 now after about an hour. There’s a few “OW” moments but nothing compared. It sucks, but for 45 min it’s worth it. My advice, take the ibuprofen throughout the day and rotate Tylenol. I’m not bleeding much but I was bleeding through 3/4 pads earlier. You got this and don’t read too much into these reviews!"

For Abortion "I’m 20 and was about 4 weeks pregnant. I’m really PRONE to getting bad cramps. I took the first pill orally at the women’s center. Two days later I took 4 pills and inserted them into my vagina at 8:00AM that morning. In 30 minutes I was experiencing extremely painful cramps/contractions. I began sweating profusely, became light headed and had to lay on the bathroom floor. They also caused me to be very nauseous, and felt like my stomach was twisting. I experienced this all day. I was SO exhausted but couldn’t sleep I just laid in a fetal position in different areas of my room and tried to breathe. I tried to drink water, but couldn’t keep it down. My heart beat was super fast. I didn’t start bleeding until a few hours in. I started feeling better around 8:00pm but still cramping mildly. Probably the worst uterine pain I’ve ever experienced. It seems to me that people who aren’t very prone to cramps like these, don’t experience it to that extent and everyone’s body is different."

For Abortion "I’m 18. I was 7 weeks pregnant. The first dose of misoprostol did nothing but maybe an hour after I threw up & afterwards felt tired and my lower stomach began aching slightly. The next day I took an 800mg ibuprofen & one tablet of promethazine and 30min later I put the 2 pills on each side of my cheek and just laid back.I felt a quick sharp pain in my stomach when it was dissolving.15 min passed after swallowing and my back pains immediately started. They were only slightly worse than when I’m on my period. I laid on a heating pad. The first trip to the bathroom( maybe 20 min after the pills) I saw small droplets of blood, I threw up, and felt as if the side effect of diarrhea was about to kick in. It did in the second trip, and there was also more blood. This time when I went (maybe an hour after) a lot of blood clots came out, and one bigger one did too. This didn’t hurt at all, but I was almost sure it was the pregnancy. The next few bathroom trips were either filled with blood, or just #2. I was really tired afterwards"

For Abortion "Hey guys, I am 21 yr old and was 4 weeks pregnant. I was feeling really anxious but literally from my experience it was just like a normal period. The first day I took 1 pill at the clinic at 1:00p.m., was normal all day and the next day I took the 4 pills together at 5:00 p.m. I just felt normal cramps for first 10 minutes and was nauseous for 2 hours. So there is nothing to be afraid of girls, you all are strong you can do it."

For Abortion "I was 5 weeks 5 days... So I went to the clinic on a Saturday and took the first pill at 11:50 am... then they gave us 4 pills to insert vaginally 24 hours later (11:50 am the next day). Before I inserted the pills, I took an ibuprofen 800 mg 30 minutes before... after I inserted the pills, light cramps started occurring, similar to period cramps - they didn't hurt at all. Then I went to the bathroom and clumps (the sac) came out as I kept pushing... really an easy and smooth process."

For Abortion "My experience with a pill abortion: I was 8 weeks pregnant. I had my vitals and medical history taken, my blood type tested and was given a vaginal ultrasound to see exactly how far along I was. I was given the first pill and a zofran and sent on my way with the second round of pills. I went home with minor cramping, barely noticeable. Waited 24 hours to vaginally insert the next four pills, I waited about 2 and a half hours before I started having any symptoms, I was struck with some pretty serious cramping, and was getting hot and cold sweats and nausea. This painful period only lasted about an hour. I fell asleep, I slept for about three hours and woke up, stood up, and the blood literally started pouring out of me, I sat on the toilet and bled for about 20 minutes, and passed most of the clots and blood. I cramped and bled slightly the rest of the night. I woke the next morning and felt new."

For Abortion "So I was nearly 6 weeks along. I read some horrible stories online about what could happen but I opted for it as I wanted to be at home. Took the first four pills on Friday evening around 10.30pm by mouth. Fell asleep and woke an hour later with bad cramps. Not gonna lie, it was painful! Not unmanageable but very bad cramp. Sat on the loo as the pain got worse and then after 40 minutes passed 4 clots (walnut size). After the clots had passed the cramp subsided straight away! Took next two tablets around 2.30am. Very heavy bleeding requiring changing a pad every hour for the first 6-8 hours, but it’s now 2.30 the following afternoon and cramps/bleeding are definitely a lot less! Been doing housework, although taking it easy! Feel REALLY hungry. Eaten loads! I want to reassure you if you’re having this option do it! Not even 24 hours later and I feel relief, and more like myself than I have in ages! Good luck! Xx"

For Abortion "I can honestly say I have never experienced pain like it in my life. I had never quite heard of just how painful it would be. Like a lot of these reviews I found people saying ‘It wasn’t that bad’ so I just want to share that it could be awful for you. I had to call an ambulance out, the sweats were that bad I became unresponsive when on the phone to the ambulance, I did not loose lots of blood and the pregnancy passed within 4 hrs. I could not stop vomiting and diarrhea did not stop. I wasn’t aware of just how awful this was going to be. I say this not to scare you but I wish someone had shared this with me before hand. Please make sure you have someone with you x"

For Abortion "Thought I would share my experience as I also freaked right out about this whole process and it was not as bad as what I thought it would be. I was about 8 weeks ,took 1st mifepristone Saturday evening , no side effects. Sunday night took 2 ibuprofen 2 codine 30 mins before putting 4 misoprostol vaginally. After 1 hour dull ache in my belly but not painful , 11pm started to bleed , 12am took 2 more ibuprofen 2 codeine and dissolved last 2 misoprostol in mouth , hot water bottle and tried to sleep, 4am toilet dash with gush , clots and pregnancy passing , back to bed , woke and just bleeding like normal period. Don't stress about it all. I know we are all different, take pain relief before and keep on top of it. Rest, watch TV and it will soon be over. Love to all going through this, you can do it! X"

For Abortion "Please do not panic!!! I was 6 weeks and 2 days I took the first tablet yesterday at the hospital at 3pm I was fine just felt really tired and today at 6pm I used the 4 tablets that the hospital prescribed to be inserted into my vagina . I took 1 codeine tablet half hour before doing this. About 8.30pm I started bleeding heavy and began passing clots I had no pain no side affects only very light cramping. It was the best decision I made. I was so terrified before this as I had read so many horror stories but as long as you take pain relievers before hand you will be fine do not stress it will be over within a few hours."

For Abortion "I was 9 weeks and 2 days. I received the first pill at the clinic Tuesday at 1:30p.m. I had to wait 24 hours to do the second set of pills which was, Wednesday 1:30p.m. I put 4 of the pills under my tongue let it dissolve for 30 mins then, drink water to swallow what was left over. As 2 mins in I started to get heavy cramping but, it lasted for 10 mins. Worst 10 mins pain of my life. Now, different people have different pain levels. I had my mom by my side the entire time. I am still in the process I don’t feel any more cramps it’s just light cramps right now. I’m bleeding & I had diarrhea which lasted about 3 mins that’s when I saw blood. But, it is good to have someone by your side only symptoms I had were stomach cramps & I had chills which was I was very cold. It’s been 2 hours it’s 3:20p.m. right now but, don’t get scared by the reviews everybody’s body is different. Good luck guys !!"

For Abortion "As soon as the pills dissolved (in less than 10 minutes) my throat and cheeks started to hurt. I felt cramping so bad and started to shake uncontrollable to the point I felt I was convulsing. I started throwing up and the pain was unbearable. I laid in the fetal position Then started the diarrhea. I was sitting on the toilet with my legs shaking violently and throwing up at the same time. I managed to get back to the foot of my bed and laid there in agony. I threw up all down the side of my bed. I had a heating pad on me and I was laying bundled up in a jacket and all of a sudden I felt extremely hot. Burning up. temperature 101.6. About an hour later I started bleeding, was too weak to get up. About an hour later went to the bathroom and plop and a lot of blood. The cramps became bearable. Next day woke up feeling better. Next night felt like I was hit by a truck. Body felt bruised. Today cramping bad and still bleeding 3 days later. A little forgetful today and head feels funny."

For Abortion "I knew i was pregnant immediately, in fact the nurse told me it was the earliest time down to the day, that I could ask for an abortion. The first pill did nothing, but the next day when I took the rest, was, and I can not stress this enough, the worst pain of my entire life, I dead seriously screamed, and yelled out in agony. They only gave me ibprofen, so my partner called the emergency room to get something else. I could walk, I was vomiting, I had a horrible fever, and it came in intense waves. The pain lasted from the morning all the way into the late afternoon. Thankfully the next day I was completely fine, I know most woman say it was just mild cramping, but of you have a sensitive cervix, or i guess low pain tolerance (I have 20+ piercings and a ridiculous amount of tattoos so debatable) then i want you to know this is a possibility."

Cytotec (misoprostol) "Hi ladies. I had an abortion yesterday (4 weeks & 4 days). I took 4 Cytotec 200mcg (Misoprostol combined) at 9:30 am under my tongue as told by my doctor (symptoms: shivers and cold sweats only for 45 minutes). At 11:30 am, I took 2 more pills (symptoms: period-like cramping and hot flushes tiredness only for 20 minutes). At 1:30 pm, I took the last 2 pills with contractions every 30 minutes. At about 5 pm (4 hours later), I felt something pushing out. I ran to the bathroom and felt a big blob - 2 sacs came out attached to each other. I didn't know it was twins as it was shown on my scan. My symptoms are still continuing but no bleeding at all. I only bled for an hour, very very light, after the sacs came out. I will be back at the doctor in 2 weeks for a checkup and scan."

For Abortion "Sharing my own experience in hopes it helps. 6 weeks and 2 days. Opted for medical abortion, after routine tests, I was given 1 mifepristone. sent home with pain and nausea scripts. did feel a little nauseous w light cramps over next 24 hrs. Exactly 24 hrs later I took the 4 misoprostol between cheeks/gums and held it there for 35 mins. *I took my codeine and 600 mg ibuprofen with my nausea meds 2 hours before I was due to take 2nd dose of medications, this saved me from feeling pain. I am not good w pain so I knew to stay ahead of it. Washed remaining pill bits down with water. 45 minutes later I felt mild cramping w no blood. Went to restroom, sat down, blood started coming, was not in much pain at all. I cleaned up and went back to couch with my heating pad. Sat on couch all day/night and stayed up on pain meds. Most pain I felt was 5 out of 10. I am 2 days in and still bleeding but no pain. Don’t be scared, If you prepare before you will be fine!! Don’t know if it worked yet."

For Abortion "Before I took this pill had fell into a depression mode with stress thinking of all the things that could happen with this pill. About 27 hours after I took the first pill at the clinic, I took 4 ibuprofen at 7:12 and the 8 misoprostol pills 30 minutes later. Within 20 minutes I started cramping had to where I couldn’t handle it. Thank GOD for a hot water bottle ! (If you don’t have one, get one, it’s a life saver) Exactly an hour after the pills had dissolved, I immediately started pushing out blood, little to walnut size blood clots. From 8 PM - 3 AM- I was bleeding heavy with walnut size blood clots Woke up the next day with normal bleeding like I just have my period It’s not the most pleasant thing in the world. But IT WILL pass. I missed out on 2 weeks of my life due to stress because I was so nervous something would happen to me, but you’ll be Ok! Take it when someone can be there to watch over you and care for you."

For Abortion "Took step 1 before so I couldn't chicken out. Took 2 ibuprofen and 1 panadine forte and anti nausea tablet an hour before. Step 2 just over 24 hours later, at night while kids in bed and husband home. Within half an hour started to lightly bleed and pass some clots, with no pain. By 10.30 cramps increasing but very bearable. Watched movie to pass the time. On and off the toilet for 3 hours, and finally fell asleep as my body wanted to pass clots, and fell asleep again and body woke myself up again, one last passing of clots then cramps stopped. All up around 6 hours. Was private, was easy and was prepared. I wouldn't like to have to make this choice again, but I wouldn't do it any other way. I've had x 2 miscarriages and have 2 children and I'm glad I was able to have this option"

For Abortion "This is my first and hopefully last. I took this pill at 5 weeks pregnant. I took the first pill (Mifeprex) at 6:45 pm on a Wednesday. At 6:30 pm, Thursday, I took 800 mg of Ibuprofen & anti-nausea med. At 7 pm, I put the 4 pills underneath my tongue, in 10 minutes, I began feeling strong contractions and chills, By 8 pm, I fell asleep because the medication made me sleepy and a little dizzy. By 9:15 pm, I woke up to a call which lasted for about 1 minute, and then I realized that the contractions had reduced significantly but I still had the chills, I decided to go use the bathroom and that was when I passed the tissue. I went back to sleep and was able to get 7 hours of sleep. I woke the next morning with only mild bleeding and was able to go about my daily routine. I read the reviews here and was very scared. Everyone is different. Goodluck"

For Abortion "I took 4 pills by mouth the day after I went to a clinic, and 30 minutes after taking ibuprofen and nausea medication, and my experience was really smooth. I was only 3-4 weeks, so still early. My cramps weren’t even to bad- I was definitely uncomfortable but I didn’t feel too much pain. Obviously also bleeding a lot, and some diarrhea but survivable I promise. I read all of these reviews beforehand and they made me cry with the support from everyone. You can do this, I promise. You are strong and you will get through it. Sending love."

For Abortion "The worst thing I did was reading the reviews before taking the pills, I got extreme anxiety and couldn’t sleep because of how scared I was. The experience was extremely smooth and easy. I was 4 weeks, I took the first pill and then waited 24 hours before putting the other 4 between my gums and cheeks, I swallowed the rest when they didn’t dissolve all the way after. 30 minutes later I had normal cramps, exactly like period cramps and started bleeding heavily and passing huge clots, I took ibuprofin and kept a heating pad with me, it helped a lot and I barely felt any pain. The heavy bleeding stopped after 13 hours and the bleeding continued like a normal period for 6 days and then it stopped. The pregnancy symptoms took a week to go away. I was relieved. Don’t believe the gossip guys, it’ll be over before you know it "

For Abortion "I was severely TERRIFIED to do this. I was 6 weeks, yesterday in office I had taken the first pill. Nervously swallowed it around 1:15. No side effects at all, went to fill out the scripts. Came home and had a snack, took the antibiotic around 3pm. At about 4:18 I took the ibuprofen, and around 5 I inserted the 4 pills vaginally with a tampon applicator. Got my giant maxi pad, plugged in the heating pad. Was waiting for what I thought would be the nightmare. 7 there was blood, just a normal flow at first. Typical period cramps. I get really terrible cramps and these were bearable. Passed some clots, Around 9:45 I felt something slide out. What could be assumed as me passing the pregnancy. After that I felt relief, cramping went from a 7 to a 3. Felt hot and cold at times, but that is just the meds. Fell asleep. Woke up around 7 to heavy bleeding. Cramping has stopped. The bleeding has since slowed. ladies if you know your body and your flow all will be well! You GOT this!"

For Abortion "Hi everyone, like many others , I was totally frightened by some of your experiences and wasn’t sure if I would want to go through with this . At about 4:20pm on Friday I took the first pill. A few hours after that I had MINOR cramps and they disappeared. Not too long afterwords I was nauseated the entire night and into the full next day until I took the next set of pills. An hour after I inserted them into my cheeks I started feeling the cramps coming, almost 4 minutes after I sat down with a heating pad they got intense . I would say 8/10 . They felt like really severe period cramps and it lasted for about an hour before I sprawled myself out under the hot shower. For the rest of the night until 1am they hurt but they were bearable. Now at 9am it feels like a regular period . I threw up once, got diarrhea , and had intense cramping for a short while. It’s not a walk in the park but you can do it girls. Best of luck . Now on to mental healing for me"

For Abortion "Hi girls! I'm still in the on-going process but I really felt like I needed to share! I was so scared, I cried all morning dreading to take the second pills because of the reviews and the description of pain. I am someone who has a very low pain tolerance and I faint a lot. I took the 1st pill, the mifepristone, at the clinic, went fine but I started bleeding and passed one clot after 24 hours. I called them and that is normal for some women. I then took the misoprostol, 4 pills orally in my cheeks for 30 mins and swallowed the rest (I would said 80% are still intact, thats normal if anyone is wondering). 1 hour before that I took all the pain medication as direction (3 advils of 200mg, 2 tylenols of 500mg and 1 tramadol). I started feeling something immediately after I swallowed the pills. Nothing major.. its like a slight pressure and discomfort down there. THE HORROR STORIES ARE MINOR CASES GUYS. Don't be scared, believe in your strength."

For Abortion "29 y/o first medical abortion. (6 weeks) After reading several reviews on here I was terrified. I don’t get bad cramps or have heavy periods ever so I was freaking out. After procrastinating the entire day I finally built up the courage at 8:35 pm and took all 8 pills 3 in each cheek 2 under the tongue. I felt nothing and was able to fall asleep with no problem. At 3:33 am I woke up cramping (not bad) , went to the bathroom and passed one slightly big clot the size of a blow pop lollipop. I was able to drink water and fall right back to sleep. At 10 am I woke up to ruined underwear and a pair of leggings soaked from blood. The worst part was the the bleeding , the pain was tolerable."

For Abortion "Please dont let the reviews on here scare you. I wanted to share my experience to help someone be less freaked out because I was so freaked out reading them. This was my experience: Friday: Took the first pill in the clinic. Felt a little nauseous on the drive home but that could have been because I was nervous & carsick Saturday: 12pm- Took the 4 misoprostol pills then fell asleep 2pm- woke up to a little bleeding & mild cramps. Took Ibuprofen 3pm- Heavy bleeding started with more intense cramps. 3.5/10 pain. 4pm- Had diarrhea 5-6pm- Passed some huge clots (about the size of a lemon and one was the size of an apple). Very heavy bleeding. 7pm- Had diarrhea 9pm- Clots slowed down but bleeding was still heavy. Took Ibuprofen again. Sunday (today)- Heavy bleeding all day but no clots. Did not take ibuprofen. Very mild cramps. Completely functional and able to do all my normal activities (other than go to the gym)"
