For Abortion "I am 24 years old. When I found out I was 7 weeks and 3 days pregnant, I put four tablets under my tongue at the same time. After four hours, I used them once every 1 hour. I took 10 pills in total. I had fairly normal contractions around my abdomen and then large blood clots. I prefer to say it felt like a fairly heavy period. You girls are strong and I'm sure you'll get through it. This is a very simple pain that you will only experience at some point in your life."

For Abortion "I wanted to leave a review because I didn’t see many recent ones. I was honestly scared out of my mind. I have had one surgical termination with sedation as well as one vaginal child delivery. I kept telling myself that if I could survive childbirth, I could survive this. Well, I freaked myself out WAY too much. My experience was like a heavy period, except for the clots and sac falling out. I started with taking the first pill in the office, and then I went home and waited a little over 24 hours. I took anti-nausea medication and 4 Aleve (don’t judge me, I knew 2 wouldn't cut it, lol). After about an hour of waiting, I placed the 4 tablets under my tongue and allowed them to dissolve for 30 minutes, then washed the rest down with water. Then I lay down with a heating pad. About 30 minutes later, mild period cramps started. But it was totally bearable. For the next 3-5 hours, clots and the sac passed, and it was over. Then mild cramping and moderate bleeding. You got this, ladies! :)"

For Abortion "When I was reading reviews, I was so scared, but I took the step. I first took mifeprestone, and after 24 hours I took misoprostol. Before an hour, I started bleeding. Blood clots, pains. Luckily, I had my pain relief, and it wasn't that bad. Just be calm."

For Abortion "So, I did it. I took the pill yesterday, 4 pills, and had them dissolve in my mouth. I didn’t throw up, they tasted chalky, but they did not taste bad. They aren’t near your tongue, so you’re fine. So, I prepared and laid down with a heating pad, and a couple of hours later, I had horrible, heavy cramps. Everyone is different, but you will get cramps, and you will feel like you want to go to the hospital. I took the anti-nausea pill and 800 mg ibuprofen before all of this as well. So, when the cramps were happening, I sucked it up! (Easier said than done.) I fell asleep, and 2 hours later, I felt blood! It wasn’t a lot, but it wasn’t too little. It was perfect. I am super early too, very early, so I had some blood clots and heavy cramping for about 3-4 hours, and I basically slept!"

For Abortion "I was so scared to take the medicine. But I just got done with the process at home without any issues. Few tips that helped: - take ibuprofen 15 min before misoprostol pills - do not swallow misoprostol with water as the stomach will digest it and it won't go its work. Put it in cheeks and let it get absorbed for 45 mins. - keep a heat pad with you to ease the cramping. Two hours after taking the med, cramping and bleeding started, following with a few clots at night. Now in the morning, bleeding is just like a regular period. Keep taking ibuprofen every 6 hours so you won't feel any cramping. Keep hopes high and you can do this!!"

For Abortion "I was scared. On top of being scared, I had no one to help me if something was to go wrong, so that made me even more scared. I took the first pill around 11:30 on a Wednesday in the doctor's office at 6 weeks pregnant. I then went home, and around 11:30 that same day, I took the other 4 pills vaginally (Misoprostol) and didn’t get back up for 2 hours. I then went to the bathroom, and still nothing was happening. I went and laid down again. I fell asleep. I then woke up with blood and a small clot, no cramps at all. I went back to sleep, woke up, and was bleeding much heavier and big clots, still no cramps! My bleeding slowed down on Thursday, the day around 6:30 pm! This was a painless process! I was just very sleepy and a little lightheaded, probably from the blood loss! You can do it, and hopefully your experience is as good as mine!"

For Abortion "I was currently 9 weeks and 4 days. I was very nervous and so, so scared because I read lots of stories on the internet about how their experiences were terrible (PLEASE, don't worry! I did great, and I would recommend this to anyone, my experience was almost effortless). I took mifepristone and had no side effects with this pill. After 24 hours, I took misoprostol (4 pills), and this was what I was scared of, but nothing really happened. The only pain reliever medication I took for the misoprostol was 800 mg of ibuprofen, and that's it. I felt fine and had minor cramping, but the bleeding was starting to become heavy and eventually had clots. I took my second dosage of misoprostol (4 more pills), and I started to get some cramps, but not very painful. Had more blood and clots, and that's about it. My stomach felt weird but not scary or abnormal. After an hour of taking my second dosage of misoprostol, I went to sleep around 11 pm. Today is the next day, and I haven't had any cramps, and I feel good."

For Abortion "I was prescribed misoprostol. I was given mifepristone first at the doctor's office at 11 a.m. a few hours later, cramping, heavy bleeding, clots the size of a golf ball. I know my body, and I passed everything. I didn't end up taking misoprostol, no need. I guess my body was already to expel. I took some Motrin for pain and a hot bag for cramps, which eased the pain. I got lucky, I guess."

For Abortion "I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks, but my doctor could not see the pregnancy yet, so she was not able to give me the pill. I came back 10 days later, and I was 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant by then, and she detected my pregnancy. She gave me the first pill (mifepristone), and I felt nothing, no bleeding, cramping, or nausea. Today, I took my first 4 misoprostol at 1 pm orally. Within 15 minutes of letting it dissolve in my mouth, I felt a big cramp. After 30 minutes of letting the pill dissolve, I swallowed the rest with water and immediately threw up. I also started bleeding and passing some minor clots. I experienced very minor to no cramps during this time. I took my second 4 misoprostol pills at 9 pm and felt perfectly fine. I did get a few more minor cramps than I previously had, but I honestly thought my experience was going to be so much worse, everybody’s body is different, but all will be fine. You got this!"

For Abortion "So having to read many other reviews got me pretty scared. I took Miso-fem two orally by swallowing and two inserted in the V area. I felt no pain at all. I slept for about two hours. I was getting scared at this moment because no pain, no contractions, so I decided to make lunch. Then little cramps, like period, started. I was happy because I was 6 weeks 5 days gone. Of course, I couldn’t keep the baby. Luckily, cramps set in, then boom, something ball-like dropped. I quickly went to sit on the toilet and felt clots of blood drop off with sharp-like pains, a bit tolerable. And mind you, I had no pain relief drug, and I felt an ease afterwards. Yours may be easier than mine, don’t let people’s experience scare you. I just feel period-like pain, that’s all, and I can do my chores conveniently. Sis, you ain’t alone, I sure made the right choice. Wish you well, I hope this encourages someone. Cheers."

For Abortion "I am 5 weeks pregnant (well, was), and it's been a testing experience for me. I was advised to take the medication vaginally, so maybe that's why the pain was intense. I inserted the first dose at home on Thursday (vaginally) at 2 PM, and it was fine for the whole day. I took the second dose vaginally on Friday around the same time, about an hour later, my stomach began to tingle/burn. The pain was period cramps and MORE, it was extremely painful. I thought because it was so early on, it wouldn't be so painful, but damn! It's now Saturday evening, and the pain isn't so bad. I've been bleeding quite a bit and clotting. I'd seriously advise getting strong pain meds and iron tablets. You are losing a substantial amount of blood, and you need to look after yourselves. Doing it over the weekend is much better, take time off work if necessary because everyone is different, and it can take a toll on your body, especially if you're anemic. Try to have someone/people around you to support you xx."

For Abortion "I took misoprostol on Sunday, and I just felt tired and little cramps with small discharge of blood. On Monday, cramping increased, and I passed a little blood clot. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday, cramping became intense, and I took paracetamol and just passed more blood. By Thursday, cramping was more intense, and I took ibuprofen, and it reduced. I passed out more clots and tissue. Finally, on Friday, I passed out tissue in the morning, and by 2, cramping was very intense, even with the help of ibuprofen, I cramped for 2 hours, and by 4, I passed a large blood clot (shiny, liver-like) and placenta."

For Abortion "I’m currently wrapping up day 3. First day I took an anti-nausea pill an hour before the first pill that I got prescribed. 24 hours later, I took the prescribed 800 mg Ibuprofen and anti-nausea pill before placing the 4 pills inside my mouth to dissolve. Mine dissolved super quickly, and I thought I messed up, but I called and said as long as it didn’t throw up during the 30 minutes it was in my mouth and swallowed everything, I was good. About 1 hour in, I got the chills and slight cramps. I had bad diarrhea for a good 3-4 hours with slight bleeding. About hour 3, some clots came out, and I felt some relief. I am now close to 30 hours since I took the 4 pills, and I feel completely normal. Still some slight cramping and spotting, but nothing bad. I was about 5 weeks and absolutely petrified of doing this, reading all the reviews, but the positive ones helped ease my fears, so I decided to post one too. Get a heating pad and just take deep breaths and ride it out. You got this!"

For Abortion "Took the mifepristone around 10:45 a.m. on Saturday. Followed up Sunday at 2:30 p.m. with the 4 capsules via vaginally. A few hours later, I experienced cramping and blood. I passed blood clots but no signs of the fetus. I even had diarrhea. Took the extra dosage I was provided the next night. Bad idea. Woke up at 5 a.m. Tuesday and was in severe pain the rest of the day. I literally timed myself from 5 a.m. to about 7:30 a.m. I had contractions almost every 3-5 minutes apart. When I say the pain was awful. The heating pad provided no relief. More clots, diarrhea, and blood. No fetus. Today, Wednesday, I wake up around 7 a.m. and the cramps have been severe literally all day. I called the phone line around 5:45 p.m. and spoke to an after-hours nurse to tell her it’s gotten to the point where I’m crying because the cramps hurt so bad. End of story, I go to the ER and the ultrasound shows I have not passed the fetus. Day 4 and two doses. I’m seeing comments that say 4 hours. I want this to be over."

For Abortion "I was three weeks pregnant when I took the drug. I have mild cramps, and I bled for two days. After four weeks, I was still having a positive result, so I repeated the drug and had heavy bleeding, and I passed out blood clots for about four hours. Two weeks later, I had a scan, and it was said that my baby is fine and active. I don't even know what to do."

For Abortion "I would not opt for medical again. First tablet was okay. Few clots and blood and cramping about 24 hours after taking it. Second lot of 4 tablets, horrible pain. I have a very high pain tolerance. I have Crohn's disease and two bulging disks in my back and hypomobility. The cramps had me bent over in tears. Lasted about 2.5 hours, intense about a 9. Then passed a few big clots, pain went to 4. Panadeine forte started wearing off early, so I took more. I don't even usually take normal Panadol... Pain increased again to a constant 6/7 for the last two hours. It's very unpleasant."

For Abortion "I read horror stories, scared myself, so I thought I’d share a good review. Was so tired and sick from the pregnancy that nothing could have been worse. Took the first pill Wednesday at 4:30, woke up Friday very nauseous. Took the pills anyway, after taking the promethazine assigned for nausea and ibuprofen. As soon as the pills dissolved in my mouth, I felt extreme pain, to the point where I couldn’t talk, but only for an hour. Only an hour. I did not vomit or have diarrhea, just extreme pain in the pelvic area. It is now Saturday at 12 and all I have is the occasional period cramp and clotting, but I feel great. I can eat again, full meals! I feel much better. You can do it, I promise :)"

For Abortion "I had used it to induce an unwanted pregnancy, and it worked immediately. At first, I got scared as I was clotting non-stop, but then it stopped suddenly."
