I have to tell you all (because this is my third day) of going through a medical abortion. On Saturday morning I arrived at the clinic where I was given an ultrasound to confirm the Pregnancy length and also  the first pill that would stop the growth of the embryo. The first pill did not give me any side affects besides  a bit of nausea (I could have still been experiencing pregnancy affects) I was also given the second dose of pills to be taken 24-48 hours of my visit to the clinic.

On Sunday at 12 pm I let the 4 pills dissolve in my mouth (two on each side of my cheeks) within 30 minutes I started to feel the cramps kicking in. At first they felt like normal cramps (I usually have a cramped period on the first day) but then they started to get more intense and I slowly started to feel dizzy and just "off" I tried to sit on the toilet and I kept feeling like I would fall over and faint. I drank some water hoping that would hydrate me some what but it was not helping. For the next 5 hours I found myself on the floor of my shower curled up like a fetus under cold water so that I wouldn't pass out. I had to hop in and out of the shower about 4 times within that 5 hour period of pain. I felt a little better after havin cold/hot water on my body and went to lay down. The pain was so unbearable I couldn't even get comfortable. I finally gave in and took a Tylenol with codeine and honestly that made the slightest difference. I felt like throwing up the pain killer but I forced myself to keep it down. I finally fell asleep.

Day 2 (Monday) was no where near as bad as day 1. My cramps felt like normal menstrual cramps and the bleeding honestly was irregular for ME, but not as bad. My second day was easier, I was able to move around and eat and even hang out with my family.

Day 3 (Tuesday) I felt almost as bad as the first day when I couldn't stand the pain. I keep getting sharp pains that come and go in my stomachs and the bleeding and clots seem heavier and bigger than the first two days. I am starting to feel like it isn't going to get any better, I just want to pain to stop and go away. I meet with the clinic in another week and hopefully by then things will be normal again.
