For Abortion "Was 7 weeks. Took 1 mifepristone yesterday at 6 pm. My only side effect was diarrhea. Codeine, paracetamol, and ibuprofen meant I had no pain. Took domperidone, so I had no nausea or vomiting. Took 4 misoprostol vaginally today at 6 pm (24 hrs after mifepristone). Took codeine, paracetamol, and ibuprofen right before inserting the misoprostol, so I had no pain. Took domperidone, so no nausea/vomiting. 3.5 hrs later, still no bleeding, so I took 2 more misoprostol buccal this time (between my gum and cheek) at 9:30 pm. Took more paracetamol, codeine, and ibuprofen too. Some cramping and heavy bleeding within 2 hours. Like a painful heavy period but gushing out. Had a fever, chills, headache. And dry mouth from the codeine. Now nearly 1 am and haven’t had much more bleeding but still having the side effects. Hopefully, the worst is over."

For Abortion "I took 2 misoprostol as surgical prep before abortion at 11 weeks and 2 days via vacuum aspiration. As soon as the pills dissolved in my mouth, I got chills so bad that my teeth were audibly chattering, and before long the cramps started, along with vomiting and the runs. For me, the cramps were absolutely without a doubt THE most painful thing I have ever and hopefully will ever experience. I was lying on the floor of the clinic waiting for surgery, screaming in pain, which only eased around every 2 minutes, and then only for a few seconds. The midwife and the doctor agreed that some people just react very badly to the medication and that I was in an unlucky minority-luckily the procedure went smoothly though."

For Abortion "I took misoprostol around 2 am and had only cold chills and diarrhea and just small bleeding. I don't know if the meds are working 'cause I feel just normal cramps, nothing more."

For Cervical Ripening "I had severe stomach cramping after the procedure, followed by low-grade fever, chills, constipation, and migraines. This has definitely been an experience!"
