going through medical abortion (abortion 'pill') right now

I know it's hard what you are going thru. But like you said already u started the process and there is no turning back. Normally m advice will be that u should seek medical care, u should see a dr. Do u have any gf to help u out? u need as much support as u can get. it's going to be hard and u need loving and ppl who cares about u. donno what to tell u about the pill i never tried it but i know for a fact that u need lots of help.

I took the pill myself a few days ago, and after being lectured by nurses and doctors, I found it was no where near as painful as it was made out to be. I did however experience some pain, cramping and as you could imagine, a lot of blood. I would recommend taking the other pills with your boyfriend present, believe me, it helps! I had a hot water bottle on my stomach for the entire duration of three days, which helped a lot. I was also taking nurofen plus, which is highly recommened by the doctors I went to, and I can assure you, it really does help!
I too don't believe in abortions, I was devastated that I went through it, but it was necessary in my case, as it is in yours. I know exactly how you feel, and I sincerely feel for you. It is not an easy decision to make, and it isn't a pleasent experience so I won't sugar coat it. You will experience a lot of blood, and cramping. But if you follow my advice and take nurofen plus, keep a hot water bottle on your stomach, and have someone with you like your boyfriend, or someone you really trust to help you out you will be just fine!
You are an extremely brave person for doing this, and I hope this has helped.

Thank you for the advice. I am going through this on 04/29/10 and I am scared too. I thought NEVER in a million years would I have an abortion. I pray I will find peace as I feel so sad about it.

Hi.. I am 30 y/o and not in a position to have a child. I took the first pill yesterday and am actually sitting here w/ the other 4 in my mouth. I don't know what to say. After taking the first one i realize there was no turning back. But im not sure i will ever forgive myself for this. Although all my friends and family have been supportive they think im doing the right thing. Just doesn't feel right.

I too hope i can one day get past this.

Just wanted to vent a little.. thanks for listening.

the pill just makes you have your period.

its not particularly more painful than what you have every month ( at least for me)..

in terms of what feels "right"..thats up to each person: being pregnant doesnt feel "right" to me- i dont find it a hard process to go through other than having to do it without any support.

wer u got d abortion pill plz can u help me iam not getting in any medical shop plz refer me

I wanted to share my story. i recently took the abortion pill today. I read all these horror stories online and I was totally freaked out. I went to planned parenthood and received the first pill. I took the second set of pills 24 hours later, letting them dissolve in my cheeks. while they were dissolving I was so nervous. I read how excruciating the pain would be. I have to say.... it was NO BIG DEAL. I realize it's different for everyone but for me it was no worse than a period. it only cramped a little bit, there is a lot of blood but it's not that bad considering. I have a daughter and this is nothing compared to birth. I wish there were more positive story's for the girls out there that's why I'm posting this. my experience was super easy and I don't regret it at all. they didn't even give me pain pills I just took ibuprofen and literally only took 2 all day. I am relieved at how easy it's been for me. I've been seein blot clots but it doesn't bother me, just looks like a period. it feels gross falling out me when I stand up but that's all. So don't worry you might be lucky enough to have an easy ride.

I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to write this.. but i want to share my story.

After reading about the Abortion Pill- I decided to take that route.  I was 7 weeks pregnant..

I took the pill at 7pm Friday- by Midnight I was in the most pain I have ever been in my life and by 2ish- I went to the hospital.  I ended up puking in waiting room, the pain was out of control.  The doctors where I got the pill from did not talk to me about the pain and cramping.  The hospital gave me an IV with pain meds- I ended up going home at 4am..

Now, its sunday...I didnt take the other 4 pills- Ultrasound is Tomorrow... Not sure if the process was complete- but there is NO way I can put my body though that again..

Ok i will keep dis quick n simple i just took the pill yesterday and it was not as bad as i thought it would b..i do recommend takin tylenol 3 with codeine at least that is what i took it made the cramping much easier but honestly the whole thing was like havin a real bad period wit bad cramps if u have ever had a kid then this is nothing compared to that if not just take the meds or else da pain can b very intense

I'm going through It right now. Took the 4 that dissolve in your mouth 4 hours ago and within 10 minutes I was in a lot of pain. I've had bad cramping onc that I actually went to the hospital for because I thought something else was wrong, and this is worse. I took my pain pills and it barley relieved the pain. I'm using heat pads that are AMAZING. They are taking the pain away much better than the pain killers. The pain has gone down a lot but is still there, but i can tell its more cramping now. The blood clots Feel disgusting coming Out, but im just Not looking at them. I'm sad I had to do this, but it was the right choice for me. It's going to take time to forgive myself, but in the end I know it's for the best.

I too am going through the process right now.

I took the first pill at 1:50 yesterday afternoon in the clinic. Crazy to say, I was actually going to do the surgical procedure, but lying on that table, I was in tears. I am scared to death of needles. So the doctor told me the pill was the best choice for me. I felt absolutely fine after I took the first pill, just somewhat tired, even though I didn't go to bed til 11. I took my antibiotic like I was supposed to,after had eaten dinner. I took my second this morning, on and empty stomach and after an hour I threw up. About an hour after that I began bleeding lightly, a brownish blood. No pain though. At 3:15 I inserted the nausea meds up my butt!!! lol.  and then my tylenol (generic) with codeine given to me at PP. Thirty minutes later, I popped in the pills. I began bleeding a little more almost immediately. still no cramps, a slight heartburn though. I just swallowed my remaining parts of the pills. I have fruit snacks, fruits, gatorade, water, pain killers, blankets, pillows,heating pad, thermometer, movies and my mama right her by my side! I am somewhat nervous, but not near as nervous as I was yesterday laying on that table. Cramps and nausea I can handle!! Needles are a no no.

Wish me luck! And i hope all of you ladies had successful situations.

My parents are the only people who know so I would love someone to talk to!!

It's me again! ^^^ So I am now 16 hours after taking my pills. The first hour was the worst, I had already taken 1 pain pill, well probably the first 2 but I took another pain med at 5 that had me asleep for the second hour. I had pretty bad cramping because I was passing clots so early but nothing I couldn't handle. I'm actually not sure if/when the actual pregnancy came out.  At 6 (2 hours after taking the pills) I past quite a few clots, it honestly felt like having diarrhea out my vagina but with moderate pain, again nothing too bad. My temperature peeked to 99.7. I did not take any pain meds for the rest of the time. I fell back asleep after taking my antibiotic and changing my pad around 8:30 and woke up again at 10:30. Changed my pad (that was not even soaked through)  and fell back asleep until 2:30. Changed my pad again and it was still not soaked through after 4 hours. I had no clots at this point. Slept through the night until 8 am. Changed my pad once again and was only bleeding a little. Now, I just have very mild cramps, hardly anything. It was honestly such a smooth process (given it worked correctly) .

I jist took the 4 pills 5hrs ago and I have had the worse cramps of my life! About 10mons after takin the pills I instantly started feelin cramps and I started bleedin 20mins later. The pills made me throw up, get diahrea, slight fever just about every possible symptom. This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to do and I regret it. I'm in so much pain I want to ask god to ease it but I don't deserve his sympathy this is tge last time

Im just reading all this stuff wondering what is gonna happen tomorrow, im 16 weeks pregnant and honestly speaking i am scared to death and i feel very guilty to have this done, my boyfriend is being supportive to me but he doesnt understand my feelings regarding this i have my appointment with the doctor tomorrow i wish it doesnt end up too bad and doesnt make me go to the hospital again :(
