Just wanted to share my experience. 6 weeks pregnant with a much wanted second baby...tried for 8 years, no luck. Then we stopped trying and it happened. Realized we couldn't have this child as we are in a very bad financial situation. Did not use protection...thought there was no need as 8 years with no results. It was a very stressful decision. Not one made lightly and my heart is still hurting badly. I got a prescription for Arthrotec and they sat in my cabinet for two days while I still wrestled with the decision. Right up until the moment I took the first dose, I still wasn't sure. I had 50 mg with misoprostol 200 in them. I placed 4 tabs under my tongue (2 on each side). I kept them in for the 30 mins recommended, then spit out the remains. Within an hour, I began to bleed. I took 4 more in the same way 3 hrs after my first dose. This time, keeping the tabs under my tongue was harder, the medication was bitter to taste and I was scared to swallow much, as you're not supposed to swallow the diclofenac. This led to a build up of saliva which was worse, because when I did swallow, it tasted horrid. I got a bit nauseated at the end of the half hour and spit them out 1 min early. My husband and I up our son from school and went to the local library around 3:30 as I was still feeling fine. No cramps, nausea, nothing. Entered the library and began browsing books, when it hit. Out of the blue. I felt sweaty, sick, my stomach was killing me, and felt like i was going to pass out. Sounds seemed so far away and I felt clammy and blacking was before my eyes. I told my husband I was going to be sick and made it to the bathroom, where I thought I was literally going to die. I was sweating so bad, it was running down my face, between my breasts, down my back and the cramps and diarrhea were excruciating! I was clutching the rail by the toilet and honestly thought I was going to fall to the floor. I wanted to call for help, but couldn't as I was in public. I thought if I passed out, they'd call an ambulance for me and no way did I want to put my son through that. I was in there for a long time, and my husband kept asking if I was okay. I still thought I was dying, but I told him I was okay. I knew it would pass, but it was scary. When it was over, I managed to get up and clean up. I made it to the car and we went home where I went straight to bed. My husband didn't want me to take the final dose, but as I read online, it has to be taken so the process can be completed, hopefully. I couldn't keep the 4 pills under my tongue for 30 mins, I ended up spitting them out after 20. I put two more in (one on each side) for the remaining 10, then spit that out. I don't know if that was okay to do, but I didn't want to chance this not working after going through all this. I had major cramps and diarrhea, but nothing as bad as in the library. I passed a lot of blood and large blood clots, but today the flow has slowed down. I do not feel pregnant any longer, my breasts are not sore anymore, and I feel empty - both in my uterus and in my heart. I feel that we made the decision that was right for the time but I know I will NEVER make this decision again - if we should be blessed with another chance. Right now, I am unemployed and we are barely getting by. I don't know how we could afford another child - much less an infant with all its needs. However, if it does happen again, I don't care. We'll make it work. I just wish I could have felt that way two days ago, but I was in deep despair and couldn't see another option. Now, I know better. Never again. Ever.
