Mifepristone..."The Abortion Pill": The Facts

i took my 3 pills by mouth and i pssed the clots almost a week later, it was not very painful but now i am still bleeding in spurts. I was 8 weeks. now i need to go for my follow up visit but i am scared.

I took the abortion pill last year, it was June 26th 2008. I already had 2 lil boys and their father and I had split for a while and I got pregnant by a close friend. We both decided it wasn't the right time. So after about a week of me freaking out and deciding what I should do, I made the choice to go through with it. I'm not going to tell about my experience, although it was pretty bad. It's now just about a year later and I am ready to have another baby, but I fear I am unable to. I have been trying for about 8 months and nothing. I caculated my fertility and had sexual intercourse like everyday. If what I did caused my chances of ever getting pregnant again to not happen, I will never, ever forgive myself. If I could go back, I would have done things way different.

Cost: I paid $500 a couple days ago at a Planned Parenthood. That includes the ultrasound, blood test, all treatment, the pills, and, in the rare case that the pill did not work, the cost of a regular abortion (so you wouldn't have to pay anything if the pill fails, which rarely happens).

I read a lot of scary information on the internet, and it freaked me out about taking the pill. People saying they experienced the worst pain of their lives! I was really scared when I finally took it, but here's how it went:

12.30pm - anti nausea pill

1-1.30pm - four misoprostol pills

1.35pm - vomited, then took vicodin afterwards as I started to feel some pain

1.50pm - vomited again, pain about the same, but now even more scared about what I'd read online, especially since I was afraid I'd vomited up most of the vicodin. Took one ibuprofen.

2pm - cramping, about the same as a heavy period, in 30 second waves. I lay down on my stomach, on a hot pad, and without moving I felt no nausea anymore, and the cramps were very reasonable (4/10 on a pain scale)

2.30pm - cramping continues, go to bathroom, no bleeding at all in maxipad yet, but some bleeding in the toilet (less than a normal period). Two more ibuprofen, afraid things will get worse. Went to lie back down.

2.50pm - All cramping stops. I'm confused. Where's the pain everyone talked about? Where's the bleeding?!?

3pm - Go to bathroom, no blood in maxipads, but I lose two large clots in the toilet. No pain whatsoever.

The end. Some light bleeding in the toilet occurred for some time after all that, but basically, I had regular cramps for an hour, like a period, with no severe bleeding, and then the entire abortion was over!

I'm sure this isn't the same for all women, and I am certain some reports of extreme pain must be true, but for me, it was not bad at all. I wanted to post this information and put it out there for all the women who are scared after reading about all the worst-case-scenario stories. I'm even wondering now if some of those "experiences" were just made up by anti-abortion activists? Those reports are certainly entirely unlike the very quick experience I had. (Some, not all obviously, I have no doubt some women have extreme responses)

In the end, the most unpleasant part of the abortion was the fear that I felt as a result of scaremongers posting disturbing reports about extreme responses (if they're even all true) the abortion pill on the internet.

Some extra info, in case it helps: I'm in my 20's, never before been pregnant, and I was 6 weeks and 4 days away from the first day of my last period (so around 4 weeks pregnant, 6 weeks by the method Planned Parenthood uses to determine if you can take the pill). I have normal periods. I should also add, for those interested, that the doctors at Planned Parenthood mentioned that the worst pain, and even abortions that start at the first pill, before the Misoprostol, mostly happen in extremely skinny girls (which I'm not). Not sure why.

i have a 11 month old son who is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I just recently found out i am 7 weeks pregnant and am getting married in November and starting my masters degree in Sept. i have an appointment to take the pill tomorrow at 7:30 and am very nervous. I feel i will never be 100% sure if this is the right option. i have so many doubts but think this is the right thing to do. My fiance supports my decision either way but sways more on having the baby but thats because he can continue to work and not have to be pregnant again after just being pregnant. can anyone give me some advice before i decide what to do?

I took medication abortion about five days ago and all I can say it that it is the worse pain I have ever endured in my life. I am only 24 years old and the thoughT of even having the abortion killed me, but we all have our reasons why we go through with it.When i took the second set of pills that was when the pain started. Nausea, vomitting, shaking, crying, severe cramping,dizziness, bleeding all which varied through a long 24 hour period. It is now day five and i still have horrible cramps which keep me bed ridden, crying and missing work. I take pain medication, but it doesnt even touch it. I feel as if i havent even had a chance to endure the emotional part of this all due to the physical pain i have been through. I dont reccommend the pill to anyone. The thought of taking control of your own abortion at home is a less traumatic thought then to be in the clinic on a cold table with your legs open, but the pain that a person endures is almost too much along with the possible side effects that the pill could possibly offer. good luck with whatever form you choose.

I wanted to know if anyone had a similiar experience. I took the first pill and later that evening I started to bleed. I had to wait until the 3rd day to insert the 4 other pills in my vagina. I recently inserted the 4 pills in my vagina. However, the next day one pill was on my maxi pad. It had not dissolved like the other 3. So I quickly inserted it. But I'm worried now if the entire process is going to be affected? Has this happened to anyone before?

please just think about the baby. the baby is too far along now. i had an abortion on 10/28, and now i cry every day, and i don't think i'll ever feel the same as i did before. i wish i had made a different choice. i could have given the baby up for adoption, or anything, rather than just erasing someone who could have been here. you must be really scared and freaked out, but it's only one or two more months, and you can know forever you did the right thing.

hello!!!
is it ok to take this pill during 8th or 9th month of pregnancy??? will it work during those month also?? Actully i had my last period on 24th Oct 2008 and till now i haven't went for any kind of checkup but i'm sure i'm pregnent. please help me get out of this as soon as posible so i can able to keep this secret as i kept it till now. i will be so glad to you.

Hi, I took the 4 pills at a clinic yesterday after taking the first mifegyne pill on Saturday. About ten minutes later I experienced the worst abdominal pains imaginable which caused me to pass out. The pains relaxed to like menstrual cramps after an hour and I was sent home. It's now been 26hours and I still haven't had any bleeding. The doctor told me to wait a week before worrying but I haven't heard of this happening to any real people on the forums I have read. I'm beginning to think it has not worked and that I will have to have the surgical procedure. Has anybody here taken longer than usual to bleed? I really just want this to be over with and hate worrying about if or when it will happen.
Thankyou x

I feel extremnely guilt i have an appointment on friday at planned parent hood..i have decied to have the abortion pill..i have a special needs son and just couldnt cope with a baby too..i am a little scared how my body will react to the abortion pill if i can deal wit the discomfort

i myself found out i was pregnant, i was very shocked as i had took the morning after pill, i already have 3 children two who are autistic at 7 and 5 yrs one of these also has a bone disease, then i also have a little one at 3yrs old...discovering i was pregnant again was a very big big shock, i told the father of this baby who i had been with for 5mths, and he told me there was no way he would be with me as he was married...another big shock to the system...i know myself i could not continue with this pregnancy...i dont have any family about me or mother or dad...imtotally alone already with the three kids i have got, and its not easy to cope with these..there was just no way i could cope with another one i couldnt give it what it needed and i knew this...i myself decided to have the abortion which isnt a easy option for any woman having to consider it...so please if you have not gone through this dont judge anyone else..it took me over two weeks to get a appointment to get to take this pill...very slow in this city i live in at the uk, i went to the clinic this morning wednesday...and took the first tablet...i now have to go back friday morning and stay in the hospital untill the pregnancy has passed..you dont get to do it at home in the uk..it has to be hospital controled....imust say now after reading some of these stories it sounds frightening to death..im also scared im going to bleed to death..and unable to cope with the pain..even though im not expecting it to be a easy pain at all....ive already misscarried yrs ago at 12 wks so i kno whats coming...and not only that who will help me with my kids when i have to go home again.......its not easy, i just hope that what people here say is true..and that everywomans experience is different..i willkeep you posted take care xx

I live in a country where abortion is illegal so wt i plan to do is to take the abortion pills w/c i bought online. when the bleeding starts i can be admitted by an OB and say im having a miscarriage. What do u think?

I found out i was pregnant a little over a week ago, i knew there was another form of abortion besides the suction procedure which was the pill so i decided to take it eventhough it cost $100 more than the other which was $350 at the clinic i went to here in California. So when i took the first pill at the clinic, i felt fine the whole day and was able to go to work and carry out my normal day. The next day i felt a bit nauscious, had a lil headache but wasnt that bad. When it came time for me to take the other two pills to really start the process ,i didnt bleed until maybe 4 or 5 hours after and slight cramping like my period and i passed about five or six bloodcloths. For the next couple of days i bled lightly with little cramping. Now its been exactly a week since i took the pills, this morning i thought i was going to die! I woke up around five with the worst pain ever, i really thought it was gas pain since i wasnt cramping badly throughout the abortion. The bleeding was at its worst, i went through 4 heavy duty pads in less that an hour, and the cramps brought tears to my eyes and had me stuck on the bathroom floor literally...huge bloodcloths kept pouring out one by one which really scared me since i thought this process was soon to be over since i wasnt bleeding that bad the previous days. I popped ibuprofen tablets like if it was candy just so the cramps would ease which was about two hours ago, a little relief on a scale of 1 to 10 i feel the pain is at an 8. It seems like when the cramps are at its worst thats when the bloodcloths are getting ready to come out. I totally regret taking these pills, i wish i was brave enough at the time to decide to have the other abortion procedure done. I hope to God that when i go back too the doctor next week that everything has came out and the pills have worked, thats the scary thing about it, because there is a small chance that the pills might not be effective, everyones body is different. Just wanted to share my experience so far, hopefully next week i can write another comment saying the pills worked and im back to normal, anyone reading this, please think long and hard before you decide to take these pills. Im no trying to scare anyone, but just sharing my experience so you'll know what's expected.

technically the doctor will tell u, u are not to late...as long as u're under 9 weeks they will perform it for u, but honestly what i've learned is the eariler u are, and how active u are the less it will hurt, let me explain what i mean...well #1...i already have a son so that has alot to do with the different pain levels because your uterus will contract while having this abortion, plus i'm a very active person i workout four times a week which builds my muscles to be able handle the pain alot easier and when i got the abortion done i was only 5 weeks 2 days...the further along u are the more STUFF (fetus and uterus lining has to come out) so the stronger the contractions will be to release it... if u're pain tolertant u might be able to go through with it, i feel like its a great thing if u're looking for privacy and u're able to do other things to get ur mind off the reality of it like watch movies...do laundry...things around the house to occupy ur mind...have blessed week sweetie..let us know ur decision and how it works out....i'll send up a pray for u and every other lady tha makes this decision because its definitley a tough things to cope with

Since I am 7 1/2 weeks pregnant, is it a bad idea to take the pills? i have an appointment to take them in 6 days, and by then I will be 8 weeks...is it too late? will it not work?

I just wanted to comment on this as a woman who has experienced both extremes with the pills. My first experience with the pills was the most painful and horrifying procedure that I have ever gone though. I was 19 and 8 weeks pregnant and took the pills orally. Even with the heavy pain pills I was given, I was curled up around the toilet, vomiting from the pain for 6 hours. The pain was so intense, I nearly blacked out multiple times. I passed very large clots and eventually passed the fetus. I saw everything. It was absolutely horrifying and heart breaking. I know it sounds disgusting but I actually picked it up and held it for a few minutes. This was years ago and I still cannot get the image out of my head. I am now 23 and last weekend had to make the decision to again go through this procedure. Regardless of the experience I had before, I still could not bring myself to have to surgical procedure done. I was 4 and half weeks pregnant and had a very comfortable experience this time. The cramping was mild like a period and only escalated a little bit about 2 hours into the process. I had heavy bleeding and continue to have light bleeding now, but the clotting was nothing like the first time. I would really only recommend this if you are in your early weeks. Otherwise, the pain and experience is unbearable and something that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

well i'm the 21 year old with the 19 month old son that wrote right above this...and i toke my set a pills yesterday..and this by far was the BEST decision and easiest process i've ever been in for those who this was absoutley horrible i couldn't possible see why but it definitley went GREAT for me...i would recommend this anyone looking for something thats more private and u're able to flex ur activities... GOD BLESS anyone that has to go through this process lets make this experience a one time deal, please don't make this a habit..I LOVE ALL i'm OUT

I didn't start having sex until I was 18 1/2 years old. I was homeschooled and my parents didn't teach me anything about sex or birth control options, or anything of that nature. I even had a serious boyfriend of 3 years in high school, just an innocent relationship. Then I met my first real love. We started seeing eachother, having sex. Used condoms at first, of course he complained and condoms irritated my skin.....so we stopped. He said he was a professional (sounds silly now) so we started using the pull out method.
On my 19th birthday I went out and had a few sips of an alcoholic beverage.....was throwing up for 4 hours! Next week at work I was sluggish, no energy. Knew something was wrong, went to planned parenthood and found out I was pregnant. Immediately told my bf, he said I must have an abortion. Coming from a Christian home I was against it. So I told my father, looking for support. My own father told me abortion was my only option. When I argued he said he said it was not my decision and if I didn't go willingly he would drag me in by my hair! My dad is crazy (prison guard) and mean.
I never felt so alone in my life.
I decided for abortion pill. At time of ultrasound, baby was 3 1/2 weeks. I saw the baby on the screen. It tore me apart. Sceduled abortion for 3 weeks later (earliest appt). When I took first pill, dr told me to make sure this is what I wanted because there was no turning back. I swallowed the pills without answering.
In the comfort of my own home I shoved the four pills into my vagina. I just laid there. For two hours I had mild bleeding and a little cramping. Then the real pain hit. I was curled into a ball, bleeding profusely passing huge clots of blood. I dragged myself into a tub full of warm water with the help of my little sister, who had no idea what was going on. The tub filled with blood and the pain had me withered up. For me, pain lasted for 2 hours. For those two hours, I felt so miserable and alone.
My baby would have been born Dec 20, 2005. I am full of regret and fear of not having children as many are. I have been on bc ever since, as I don't want this to happen again.
By the grace of God guess what? I am now 23 and 18 weeks pregnant!!!!! I am keeping this one, and have the loving support of my fiancé behind me. I just found out a month ago, we didn't expect because I was on bc! I am so happy. My dad is still not supportive, but I have someone behind me so I don't care.
I just want to let all you ladies know, abortion does not mean you're jaded and won't be able to have kids in the future-there is hope. Stay strong and love yourself.

I just got the Mifepristone yesterday, and I am going to be doing the Misoprostol this evening. I am so nervous to take it, due to the pain. I was perscribed Naproxen, but I am worried it will not be strong enough. I have one vicodin left from oral surgery, I was wondering if it is OK to take vicodin with the Misoprostol. Someone please respond ASAP i am so nervous =(

I took my first pill yesterday 4-3-09...and will be taking my 2nd once i get off from work... i'm a 21 year old single mother to a 19 month old...i went full-term and had him vaginaly and he was 8 pounds 14 oz. everyone says that that definitley makes a difference... i believe outta being young and naive i felt like it would not be THAT easy to get pregnant so quick, but what i've learned is that after you have your first child....your fertility goes up a guy can look at u and u end up pregnant) LOL...well this is my situation. Being so young and already being a single mother and on my own, i have to work full-time and i go to school also, there is no way possible i could take on a hyper toddler and infant by myself, the father of the baby i'm pregnant with now (whos just a friend) delared that with his three children and child support payments there is no way he could help me with this baby. One thing i wish i would have thought in depth about, is LADIES we have TAKE care of SELF...if we don't wanna get pregnant husband or not..boyfriend or not...ladies IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A CONDOM or YOU"RE NOT ON BIRTH CONTROL...NO LOVE...because what we don't want to happen is making this ABORTION something that just keeps coming up...LETS PROTECT US, and LADIES lets look out for eachother... cause these men won't (except a few)... and u see we end up being the ones on the table for surgucial abortion....or on the bathroom floor for medical abortion..I LOVE ALL U LADIES...time to start LOVING AND TAKING care of US...please ladies pray for me and my experience later on today as i take this task on BY myself...PLEASE COMMENT by the way i'm 5 weeks & 3 days...incase you're wondering how far along i am..PEACE OUT

If you are considering an abortion I would strongly suggest you rethink. I am not one of those "pro-lifers" or anything. But i can say from experience that you will regret it. I had a medical abortion a few months ago and going into it i would have never thought that i would hurt as bad as i do now. Everyday is a struggle for me. I wanted to keep my baby and i know people say that ultimately it was my choice but really it wasnt. For me it was either get an abortion or my boyfriend was going to push me down the stairs which would have been unhealthy for me and my baby. I wish I would have known before i went through with it that I would feel this way. The intense pain i feel for the loss of my baby is almost too much to take. You may think that it will make things better but i can guarantee it only makes things worse.

I had a surgical abortion on feb 19, and i just found out yesterday, that im pregnant AGAIN. theres absolutely no way i can care for a child at this time in my life, and i have no support from my family whatsoever. I felt bad enough after getting the last one done, and you can only imagine my complete shock when i found out that im pregant again, only a month later. It almost feels like i went though all the pain from the last procedure for nothing. i feel irresponsible. im so upset that i have to go through this all over again. There is no way i will get a surgical procedure done again, i was in intense pain the last time, i didnt deal with it so well. from what im reading, it sounds like the abortion pill isnt too much better pain wise. what can you really expect though...its an abortion, if it didnt hurt, im sure more people would be getting them done. this just sucks so bad. i wont go back to the same clinic i went to before, im embarrased. i mean really though...a MONTH later?..like jesus. sounds like im going to have to take a few days off from work after i take the 2nd pill...im scared.

I took the pill about a month and a half ago. When I first found out I was pregnant, I cried my eyes out. I never thought I would be in that type of a situation, I mean, who does? I knew what I had to do and just starting the process made me hurl. I wanted to be done with the issue as soon as possible. I couldn't eat, think, or sleep. I was SO worried! I just wanted to go to my appointment, do what I had to do and come home safe, well, and NOT pregnant. I went to the clinic the next day. I had a surgical abortion in mind. When I got there, a lady asked me if I had ever had another abortion, I told her no. She then asked me how old I was, and I said 18. She then suggested that I take the pill, I really didn't want to because I had read that it was 100% effective and that a surgical abortion was more effective. She finally pursuaded me and I took the first pill there. I felt a lot better even though I had come home pregnant, and I really didn't want that. Regardless, I tried to remain positive. I began to read websites like these, Stories of people that had taken the abortion pill TERRIFIED me! When I read that it felt like an early miscarriage, I began to cry and tremble. It was awful! I remembered when my sister had a miscarriage and how loud she was screaming from the pain. I regreted my choice and wanted to DIE! I didn't sleep that night AT ALL! My boyfriend and sister were the only ones that knew. My sister was terrified for me. The next day, I inserted the pills exactly 24 hours after the first pill. I couldn't wait, I had to get it over with! It was about 12:00 p.m. on a Saturday. I was home alone with my boyfriend and sister. At first, I didn't feel any pain. We just layed down and watched a movie. I then began to feel a little sensetive and had McDonalds, which is definitely my comfort food. I was ready for the worst. I went to the bathroom and sat there for about an hour. I HIGHLY recommend you do that. The cramps are just like a period, some may be a little stronger but more or less. Sitting at the toilet for most of the time will help you a lot so you can pass most of the blood there instead of having to walk around or feel all that in a pad. When I saw the pregancy tissue... I was so ashamed. I was really early but you can see the harm that you've done. I shut out my emotions and flushed as quickly as possible. After spending a little while longer sitting on the toilet, cleaned myself up and put a heavy pad. I watched my favorite movie with my sister and boyfriend to get my mind off of everything and changed my pad often. It's been a little over a month and I just stopped spotting a week ago. I went to my follow up exam a week after the abortion and they told me everything was gone. I was supposed to go again to take a pregnancy test but didn't. I know it's over and will take one at home soon. I never want to go there AGAIN!

IT ISN'T BAD AT ALL!!! DON'T BE SCARED! I WAS TERRIFIED, BECAUSE OF ALL THAT I READ! When it was all over, I said "Wow, it was NOTHING compared to what I thought it would be." I suggest you do it as early as possible! & trust me you will learn your lesson. I could have wated those $600 on something else! Sex totally isn't worth it, EW! & guys think it's so easy. That really got me mad. My boyfriend was all whatever. It's OUR job to protect ourselves. If you're reading this, I hope I comforted you at least a little bit. I know it's hard but if I can do it, so can you! I hope all goes well! I'll be checking this often. Feel free to ask any questions.

I had the medical abortion on January 5, 2009. It was one of the scariest things that I have ever had to do, but the choice was mine. Since we aren't able to have this option in my state I had to drive 4 hours out of state to take care of this. Because of the weather I have been unable to make the trip back for my follow up appointment. I am scheduled to go in on Friday morning. My problem is that the clinic sent me a pregnancy test and it came up negative, then this last weekend, because I have yet to get my period, I took another home test and it came up positive. Now I am very nervous! They told me that it is most likely from my hormones. Can anyone help me to ease my mind?

I need a little help... My girlfriend took the pill and we think everything went well... today is her 2nd day after taking the second pill. Shes still bleeding but not as heavy and she still has crapms. Shes a little worry on the symptoms. she has nausea too. Are this common for the fisrts week after taking the second pill?? THanks

I took the pills acouple of days ago... I recommend to everyone instead of the surgical procedure... I took it at 4 and by 530 I was bleeding heavly and had strong cramps I felt horrible but I already have 1 child he's 4 months old... & labor was painful don't let them full u when they say its as bad as birth... its NOT... it was a lot easier and a lot more painless.... and I only saw big clots of my abortion...

Women that have taken the pill please mention how far along you are,and if you have carried a child full term and have had a natural/vagina birth. Or if you have NOT had any children at all.
It may be easier to take the pill if you have had a child in the past.
This is a great website for women that are trying to seek the truth about abortions and are trying to decide what to do.
It has helped me greatly!
Thank you all...

I would ONLY recommend the pill if you have had a child in the past, carried it full term and had a natural/vagina birth, and only if your pregnancy NOW is very very very early,not a day over 6 weeks.
This is the truth about this pill.Please do the standard termination if you do not met all these requirements.
Giving this pill to women that are 7-8 weeks pregnant or later should be a crime.The pain is so bad you will feel like calling an ambulance,if you are to far along,this method is NOT the easy way out at all!

I took the mifeprex in the clinic on3/7/09.The next night i took the misoprostol buccaly{between the cheek and gums}. I started cramping but did not bleed that much at all,only a little spotting.Is this normal.Dou you think the abortion actually worked for me? Please Help me!!!!!!!

I just finished reading all of these comments and i am so surprised on how this pill affects every woman so differently. Im 23 yrs old and just found out i was pregnant this past weekend. I am only 2 weeks pregnant so i was thinking that this would be the best way for me. I just cant take care of a baby right now i still want to live my life and im not even with the father. Its just such a bad situation for a baby to be born into. My mom and my sister support my decision and my sister will be with me when i do this maybe this weekend but im just really scared of how my body will react to this. Hopefully its not that bad as some other ones that i have read. Any tips? im scared of doing the surgical abortion. Please let me know what you think.

Here is my story, I hope that it can help some other person that read this... How can I start... Well I've already been to my follow-up appointment and everthing went well. I took the first pill the 13, the set of 4 pills (that were to be dissolved in my mouth) the day later. Maybe 5 hours after the first pill I started to feel a bit nauses, and was unable to sleep cause I felt unconfortable, but no pain at all. The next day I felt more nauseus and threw up a little and also slightly bleed but these are common effects. Around 11 I took the set of 4 pills and about 3 hours later I began to feel cramps, I've read some stories of horrible pain but I didn't experience this (ofcourse I did take some Iboprufen and other nause pill that they gave me). I felt some strong cramps but they came and went, basically just a more than regular pain you get on yout period. Probably half an hour after the cramps I began to bleed, this whole process of bleeding and feeling big clots only lasted around 4 hours. After that I just felt like I had my period but I felt much better, no nausea, no pain. THe next day I felt ok (physically) just a bit unconfortable during the whole week and the bleeding continued. My follow up was the 24 and I was informed everything was fine, by that time I was only bleeding a little still.
I think I expected this whole thing to be extremely painful, and as silly as it may sound I think I wanted it to be painful, because I felt I deserve to suffer (atleast a little). It's been an emotional rollercoaster and as many of the other comments please do not do this ALONE!! My boyfriend was by my side through this whole process and he was my strength. I'm 19 years old working and going to college.. I decided to take the pill beause I'm not ready to be a mother. One day ofcourse I want be a mom, I want to be able to give my kids the whole world if possible that's the reason I'm going to college, so I can provide for my family one day.
So to whoever reads this I wish you the best and I send you all my stregth... If you need any help reply to my comment I'll be more than happy to help.

love

I just found out that I am pregnant. I would guess about 4 weeks. I live in Milwaukee, WI which is the big city in Wisconsin. We have several Planned Parenthood locations but only one that provides abortion services. There is only one other abortion facility in Milwaukee so my choices were limited. I called to make an appointment at PP and was disgusted when the next available appointment is March 18. By that time I would be 8 weeks and be near the cut-off time of being eligible for the Pill abortion.
I was hoping to get this taken care of ASAP to get on with life. But now I have to wait for a few weeks. I know I'll continue to weigh all my options and the longer it takes to get into the clinic the harder it will be for me to go through it all. I am an extremely sensitive person and I'm having trouble coping with my situation. It breaks my heart that I'm thinking of terminating this pregnancy, especially when a very close friend of mine has been trying for nearly a year to have a child, with no success.
For sure I know that I couldn't do adoption. I would spend the rest of my life wondering about the child, even through an open adoption.
I'm not ready to be a mother. I am 22 years old and I admit it, I am completely selfish. I have never had to worry about someone else and having that all change is terrifying. My boyfriend was recently laid off, I'm still in school paying for it all by myself. I don't have the resources to care for a child. With the state of the economy I can just imagine how difficult it would be for anyone bringing a baby into this world. I also don't think my boyfriend is mature enough to be a father. He is an only child and has been spoiled his entire life. His parents told him that if he ever was to have a child before marriage that they would want nothing to do with him. I'm sure everyone's parents have said this at some point, and eventually let go to support their son or daughter, but they are extremely religious and old-fashioned people. I couldn't bear watching him be separated from his family.
I'm sorry if I seem to be babbling, but this really has been the hardest few days of my life. I've been doing my homework and found this site and I am grateful for everyone's comments on their own experiences with the Medical Pill Abortion. I know that this is a very sensitive topic for everyone, so having a site like this is calming.
If anyone has any words of advice please feel free to comment.

I just finished taking the second dose of the abortion pill. The first cramps were painful, but not much worse than a bad period. I bled and had clots, but none that large. The cramps went away after 1-2 hours and I did not experience pain or excessive bleeding. I'm still bleeding now, a little bit more than a heavy period but nothing serious.

I'm afraid that it didn't work properly because I've read all the horror stories on here and think that because mine was relatively easy and pain free, something might not have gone right. I have a check up in a week to make sure and will post with an update. I really hope this was just a case of an "easier" abortion rather than it not working.

For the record 26, 7 weeks, 1st time.

I hope everyone on here is getting the help they need.

im 15 years old and about 7 weeks pregnant.. can i use the pill abortion method?

I don't have heavy periods they typically last three days.. Very light and minimal pain. I'm a smoker and am slightly overweight. Will the procedure be more painful because of these factors?

i just finished reading everyones comments. i have a question.. about how long does one need to rest after taking the second set of pills which cause the bleeding? I assumed a couple days of bed rest?

I don't know if I'm pregnant..and I'm really scared I really don't know what to do. I want to take the pill, but I'm scared

I'm certainly not proud of the fact that I've had a few abortions. Each time, I've had the surgical procedure. I did consider taking the abortion pill once, but I am glad that I did not. After reading these comments, I am surprised that anyone would decide to go with the pill. Having an abortion is never easy, and there will always be emotional feelings of regret, sorrow, or even resentment. But why someone would trump these feelings with a bunch of unnecessary bleeding, cramping, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea - I cannot begin to fathom.

If it's privacy you want, find an abortion clinic somewhere in the outskirts away from the 'big city'. I too have had to deal with waiting at abortion clincs for 6-8 hours in a room with complete and utter strangers who are all going through the same thing. NOT PEACHY - I understand! The last place I went to was in the country, very quiet, and I was out of there in less than 2 hours. My BF was even allowed to stay in the room with me (which later struck me as odd). The nurse gave me two lines of morphine - felt like I was in heaven. For the next 2-3 days, I felt some strong cramping, but more like a menstrual period. Nothing resembling child-birth or what the pill-users have experienced.

If you are thinking of having an abortion, choose the clinic, please. It's bad enough to go thru something like this - you shouldn't have to visually witness everything that is expelled from your body.

i really am an emotional wrecl i am pregnant and my boyfriend is in jail...long story. i am on a medication called seroquel i do not know how it will affect the baby so that and some other reasons have lead me to think i should take the abortion pill. i really do not want to i am so lost and scared i wanna do what is right but i dont know what to do i could have a deformed baby...please help. thank u.

I took the mifeprex on Tuesday morning around 11... I then took the Misoprostol at 2 am on Thursday. I wanted to go through the pain on my day off. Its been 3 days since then and still nothing. I'm or was 3 weeks and I called the doctor on Thursday after noon and said nothing was happening she said to wait three days. I called today to try and move up my follow up and to find out what else I could do and they said call back on tuesday they wouldn't even move up my appt. I have a lot of emotional stress and the shakes a lot. I'm worried about getting an infection. I'll take the pain i just want this to be over with. Has anyone else had this experience? I wanted the surgery but the doctor said because the fetus was so small the doctor might miss it. I spent all the money i had on those pills how am i going to be able to get the surgery if i do need it... I don't know what to do.

Im Terrified.
Going in for my appointment tomorrow. dont know how far along I am but def. less than 8 weeks. . .Most of these expereinces seem horrifiying...i dont even know exactly whats causing me to write this, I pray all goes well. (although that seems a bit of a contradiction eh?) =/

My daughters friend's grandmother has forced her to get a medical abortion. I am devasted for her. I know she has started the pill taking process and am very scared that she is going through this alone. Very alone. Should I offer to go to her home and spend the first few days with her or allow her to come to my home while she bleeds and cramps? Can some one tell me if she needs someone to physically care for her, because I fear her grandmother is not.

She knows I am aware she is pregnant, and I know she trusts me. I just DO NOT want her to go through this alone. I also realize it is none of my business, but I cannot imagine my daughter going through something like this alone. Her friend lost her mother years ago and her father is not being supportive at all. In fact she was told to get an abortion or she wasn't allowed to come home. She is only 16 and very scared.

Someone please respond and let me know if I need to get over there and care for her.

Hi

i did an earlier post after taking the first pill and said that i would be back to tell my experience of the second pills.

Upon taking the second load of pills the following day (4 to be swallowed orally)..i jumped in my car and told my partner to drive FAST to get home. I got home and waited for the worst to come. 4 hours later my bleeding starts with a few clots , not many and to be honest i had more on the first day of my usual period. I sat and waited for this chronic pain that everyone seems to experience...it never came. Yes i had a few mild cramps a bit like wind and the bleeding continued for six days, but i had rather light bleeding in comparison to most. Because of this i was scared that it hadnt worked..so i went back yesterday to be rescanned and my uterus is empty.

I asked the doctor how comes i suffered so little and he said that it helped that i am fit, slim and healthy. However everyone is different and our bodies react in different ways. Therefore, to all the ladies who were like me and petrified that you will bleed to death or have the worst pain ever.. think positive, be healthy as possible and it can be just fine. I have seriously had worse periods than this termination. Also i have also given birth and you can never ever compare that pain to this!!! Perhaps that was a factor too? Nevertheless, i am still a wimp with pain generally, so im sure if it was bad then i would still have suffered.

In my opinion this medical abortion is a fantastic method and goes wrong in a few case only.

I don't know how, but I knew I was pregnant. My body felt wierd. I had discomfort on one side of my hip always. Once my period was late, I knew I had to confirm my fear. I used E*P*T & it confirmed what I knew since the beginning...I was pregnant. I told my boyfriend. He was very supportive of my decision to terminate the fetus (I am a 22 year old college student. My family would have been very dissappointed in me) & was by my side throughout everything. In fact, it was he who did research on the abortion pill & surgical abortion. Together we chose to use the abortion pill. They make the abortion pill sound like a period, but its not. I was 5 1/2 weeks pregnant so I was elligible to take the abortion pill. I took the first pill on friday at planned parenthood, on saturday @ 3:00pm I took the second pills. I put the 4 tablets in the sides of my mouth. By 3:30pm, I felt dizziness, nausea, and cramps. The dizziness was so bad, my boyfriend had to catch me from falling & hitting the bathroom floor. I sat on the toilet for an hour. The pain was excruciating; I never felt so much pain in my life. I began to have diarreah & bled heavily. My boyfriend gave me the vicadin that the dr prescribed me. After I took the vicadin, I felt a little bit better. My boyfriend helped me to my bed to lay down, I was so weak. After about an hour, the pain returned & I was back to sitting on the toilet. I was in pain for 5 hours. During those 5 hours I experienced vomitting, dizziness, cramps, BLEEDING, & fatigue. It has been 10 days & I am still bleeding quite heavily (no more clots). The dr said I could bleed for up to 3 weeks.

I do not regret my decision to take the pill. Yes it is painful, but the privacy is nice. If you choose to take the pill, PLEASE DO NOT DO IT ALONE! Have someone be by your side to take care of you. The pill will drain you of your strenght.

i am 20 years old and i have an 18 month old son. though it was unexpected i was happy so was my boyfriend that i was pregnant. we made all these plans and felt we were ready to do everything we had to for this baby. i had the baby and he is beautiful and the best thing that ever happened to me. yes having a baby is hard but the hardest part is being young and dealing with the father of my child not being everything i expected. we fought alot and are no longer together and we still fight alot. we are not quite over each other and i got pregnant again. now i never thought i would get an abortion but when i found out that seemed like my only option. i moved back in with my mother and was not able to have another child and go through this all over with this guy. problems over one child with him is enough. now i really wish i could have kept my baby but i dont totally regret it. well i researched an abortion clinic and found out they offered the abortion pill. then i researched the pill and decided it was the best option for me.hen i got to the clinic and told the lady what i wanted to do she said it was my choice but if it was hers she would do it surgically becaus it was faster and more definite. she said that the pill would most likely have alot of clotting and cramping but it affected everyone differently and they didnt know how it would affect me. i decided that i would go through with the pill and they made me sign a contract saying that if i came back in two weeks and was still pregnant i would have it removed surgically. i sign ed it and took the first pill orally on nov 6 2008. 48 hours later on november 8th i inserted four pills vaginally and about 30 minutes i started vomiting. i got so cold nothing could warm me and i got diareah. i also started bleeding and there were some big clots but that was the least thing thst was bothering me. after a few hours (about 3) i was able to take a shower and i felt alot better then i went to sleep and it was the best sleep i ever had. the next day i had some cramping but it was not as bad as the worst period cramps i ever had. after a few hours there was no more cramps and my period was still not heavy up until this point. about a week later it got really heavy one day and ther were some more really big clots but after that it was just a little bit heavier than light.i went to the doctor two weeks later and they said i was no longer pregnant and everything was fine. the only thing is it is now december 12th and i am still bleeding the same. it is really getting really annoying and it feels like i will never stop bleeding. i dont know what to do. there was really no pain though due to the pill i didnt even take one pain killer. i just want to stop bleeding i think i will go back to the doctor if it doesn't stop in about another week.

Hi

I live in the uk. I am 30 years old with a son of 5years. Recently found out i was pregnant and due to financial committments chose to have an abortion. This is my second termination. The first one was when i was 17 and this was done surgically. I was put to sleep and within half hour it was done. I have to say that this method was fine and had no problems at all. The abortion pill was not legal in the uk then so didnt have any choice.

Now 13 years later i have opted for the medical abortion pills instead. I went to the clinic this morning and took the first pill. Thankfully no side effects at all. I am back in tomorrow at 11am for the second lot of pills and have to say that im rather nervous. Not so much for the pain but scared that it wont work or that ill bleed to death. Ill be back HOPEFULLY to tell the rest of the story!

Reading through all these comments has been so enlightening. Im shocked and surprised at some of the judgement made to those women who maternally felt no connection to what was inside them. Everyone's situation is different and we should respect that. I am 6weeks 6days pregnant and took the first pill today. Apart from the annoying neasua and sleeping right through the day, im ok. I woke up to find myself bleeding lightly. I will take the second the day after tomorrow, so will keep you all updated on that.

10 years ago when I was 16 I fell pregnant and had a normal abortion. I hated it, and because I hadnt told anyone about the pregnancy I had to escape the overnight clinic the nxt day by sneaking out in my school uniform. I remember rushing to school straight fr the abortion the following morning to make an end of term exam..

I TOOK THE 1ST PILL AT 4:30 PM
IM TAKING THE 2ND TOMORROW AT THE SAME TIME. I DONT WANT TO BLEED FOR 2 MONTHS!
I HOPE ALL GOES WELL WITH ME....
WE WORE PROTECTION AND I GUESS IT DIDNT WORK. LIFE THROWS YOU OBSTICLES.
IM HAVING LIKE MINOR CRAMPS AFTER THE 1ST PILL I KNOW TOMORROW WILL SUCK.
IM ONLY 3 WEEKS PREGNANT.

I am extremely embarassed to say that i used these abortion pills... but i feel that i should comment on my experience..... For some reason I felt my body strange and i just knew i was pregnant, but never really confirmed it wiithin myself.. by the 3rd week i checked myself and i was pregnant ( i was 18, this happened this august08) I almost spent the whole month of august thinking on what to do that eventually i told my mother and father that i was pregnant. I was very dissapointed in myself, but what was done was done. I let days go by and didnt really know what to do. I pretty much relied on my mother's opinion. exactly 5 weeks and 4 days later i went to an abortion clinic and was re scheduled because the doctor left early. this incident really got me thinking... and i thought''maybe it's a sign form god that i shouldn't do this'' but i ended up going for another appointment. i left crying and decided not to do it. my dad respected my decision but my mother didnt and i felt bad and i re scheduled and that time that i went back to the clinic, it ended up being 6 weeks and 2 days. I ended up taking the first pill on that day( since the maximum amout ofweeks to take the pills are exactly 7 weeks) I didn't feel anything at all except guilt of course.. i fell asleep and didnt even eat( you must*** eat that afternoon and night before you take the set of 4 pills the next day)The next morning i took 2 pills orally and placed the other 2 in my cheeks. 30 min later i immediately began to throw up, cramp up, bleed, etc.. i was even crawling on the floor. i couldn't even sit up straight to poop. I couldn't even talk. i was shivering and i was very cold. I had very bad cramps and bleeding through out the day( even though i couldn't really stand up i made sure to walk around my room to let the clots slide out from my vagina( that is very important since that's what causes the cramping). I really can't explain the pain.. but it's the worst pain i've ever felt. heck no. i'm not proud of what i did. i still feel guilty and i hope god forgives me. I truly recommend for you people not to let anybody know, because this is a very personal thing. if you truly feel u need feedback speak wih your mom or a doctor. by the way dont be scared if you get crazy ass symtoms like the ones that i mentioned.. it's important that your body reacts this way because that means that your body is letting out everything that should be let out of your body. make sure to walk around and let the clots out. and dont eat heavily on the day that you take the set of 4 pills(after you take the pills) because you're going to throw up everything(thats what happened to me) I felt very sick through out the whole day.. even the next day. everything i ate, i threw up. i recommend; eat slices of apples. don't force your body to do anything, not even excercise because you could have a hemorrhage within the 2 weeks that u r supposed to rest. go for a follow-up(very important!) i didnt go for a follow up and till this day i am very scared. I bled for a little over 2 months.. it's really not bad if you bleed alot because that is what's supposed to happen.. your body needs to let everything out. but if you dont bleed and a week later you end up having a very bad fever; that's fatal........... i just think that if you guys want to take these pills, you should really*** think about what your going to do. not because of the physical pain that your going to go through but the life that you are going to impede. i'm never going to forget this experience, i don't want to go through this ever again. The worst thing is that i wont forget my baby. even if it was slightly under7 weeks old it's still a life. 3 months later... things are back to normal.. i turned 19, i think i have a normal period, but i have pain and discomfort on my lower abdomen and i can't afford to go for a follow-up( i'm screwed.... i'm just talking out of my ass, but i seriously feel very ashamed of myself because of what i went through... i hope nobody ever finds out about what i did. by the way i'm scared about not being able to have a baby in the future since i took these pills(they can leave scarring in the uterus and may be hard to go through a pregnancy)

I have read all the above comments just a day before I had to go through with the abortion.
I was very scared, however I had to make the decision of going through it.
I was admitted in the hospital at 8:00am and was given one tablet immediately.
The second tablet was given to me around 9:15am.
I started bleeding at around 10:30am,the flow was very scanty.
However i could feel the cloths coming out every time i went to urinate.
The pain started at around 11:30am and became unbearable at around 12:30pm.
The pain subsided gradually at around 2:30pm. However I felt very weak.
The doctor had advised me to leave at around 4:30pm.

It's the 3rd day after taking the pill, and I'm bleeding bad.
The next appointment with the doctor is on Wednesday. I hope everything is fine.
This is my experience.

I'm not going to say it's a painfull experience, however If it has to be done, then it has to be done.

I am in the process of completing a medication abortion. I went to the doctor and took the first pill and felt fine. 48 hours later I took the 2 pills of misoprostol orally. I felt extreme pain after about 10 minutes and threw up everything after about 20-25 minutes. After I threw up all the pain went away.

I had no bleeding and it has been about 48 hours and still no pain or bleeding. I want to know if anyone has had any similar experiences. I dont know if it worked and I wont be able to find out until 2 weeks from now. I am trying to save myself some stress and wondering if something went wrong and I should make preparations for the future.

hi,
I have heard that after having an abortion, women's fertility is effected and there might be the chances that she may not conceive in future. Is it true? Please clarify...

i went to the clinic on 10/16/08 were i was given the first pill orally. on 10/18/08 i inserted the 4 vagianl suppositories at about 9 am and by 930 the cramping started...it wasnt anything to bad...just felt like the cramps i get every month. I started bleeding about5 hours later and that was bad! The clots, the amount, everything. So later that day maybe 2 or 3ish i passed teh tissue and the bleeding continued it slowly lightened up. The problem i am having is this past weekend 11/8/08 i thought it was done enough to have a lil intercourse....i eman it was practically done and it has been so long. lol So my boyfriend and i did alil it wasnt anything drastic, just more less to feel it ya kno lol...well anyhow it was maybe in for 5 min, no hard thrusting nothing and than the next morning the bleeding was heavy again with the clots and deep red color. I dont kno if something happened from teh intercourse or if it could just be my actual period starting...No one knows that i choose to take the pill, they jsut think i had a miscarriage. I dotn want anyone to kno so i am alone here. Please Please Help!!

Well i have this problem now that im on this abortion process and im kind of SCARED to do this i mean i don't want this kid in my like right now, but im scared to do this, i even thought of talking on the phone with a friend. This still hasn't help me and i don't know what do to and i just need help that is all. Thanks

As a mother of a thirteen-year-old I thought I thought I did everything right, but obviously some thing when wrong. As soon as I found out my daughter was not a virgin I took her to doctor for birth control. She chooses not to take birth control because she and her boyfriend broke up and it was a one time thing and she was not sexually active. The doctor made it her choice. That the way I took at that point. Then she got another boyfriend. I took her again to the doctor for birth control pills. I brought her a box of condoms and told her that I wasn’t telling her is O.K. to have sex but to please be safe. My husband didn't agree with all this. We have advised her since she was old enough to understand. She is the only child. She is an in vitro fertilization baby. She is our world. We have been giving her everything we can provide as a middle class family could. She was to go out with friends and have friends. She still wasn't allowed to date. Now she is pregnant and refused to have an abortion. The abortion clinic makes it her choice. Her boyfriend is sixteen. They both have everything planned out and of cause depending on others, such as government sources. I was thinking of trying this abortion pill on her. She is about five weeks, since her last period.
A Mother cries for help. We have been to counseling for a year and half. We stop going because the cost and most important we did not see much of a change in my daughters’ attitude. Please can someone tell me what to do. She will not give up the baby for adoption. She is much too young and not responsible to have a baby. Mother in Florida crying for help. Would this abortion pills be doing more harm than good?

I dont know if anyone will even read this now.But Im scared and dont know what to do.Im 20 years old and I just found out that I am pregnant this past weekend. I took two test and they both said positive, I know that i absoulty do not want to have a surgical abortion this sounded like a better way for me. I just cant deside if this is the right thing for me I love babies and know that I would be a great mom... Im just not ready for that yet.But I dont want to tell my boyfriend he does not believe in that can I pass it off as a miscarrige and him believe that? Would it hurt worse to have the baby or take the pill?? Please help!!!!

my sister is 18 was 8 weeks pregnant took both parts of the pill went back 10 days later for check up and she is still pregnant she is in a really bad state emotionally would never advise anyone to do this

I would like to thank most of you for all of the stories that are on this page, cause im 19 and im living at my mothers house with my boyfriend and i just need some adive on doing this cause most of my friends don't want to me to get a abortion. I feel like crap and i know im only 8 weeks along, when i told my mother, she went off on me and started to yell at me but i guess that is what moms do......right!! The only that makes me happy right now is that my boyfriend thought it was a good idea for a abortion to be done. So my thing right now is that i will lose most of my friends due to this fact.....I have a friend that i have know for almost 8 years now and she doesn't want me to go through with this but she is telling me that her older sister doesn't want me around due to the fact that she has a child and this will effect me but still i need to do!!

Do you think it is wrong of me for doing this?

Can you be 3 months and still take the pill?

I took a home pregnancy test this week and it came out positive. My last period started on August 15th, so I figure I'm nearing the end of my 5th week. I am positive I conceived on August 27th...with my ex-boyfriend. He wore a condom, but it slipped off near the end. I'm 28 years old, and still live at home, and am in no position to raise a child right now. I called a local Planned Parenthood and made an appointment. Does anyone know what usually happens when you go there? I guess they have to do a pregnancy test first to confirm it? And can any Planned Parenthood give out the abortion pill, or only certain ones? I don't know what to expect, and am a little worried...

I am 25 with a two year old son. I found out I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and I have an appointment at planned parenthood next week to take the pill. I'm currently in school and work, and I just see no hope in having another baby. I do not know how in the world I will support it financially. Besides the guilt that I already feel, I think by reading some of the stories I would never get the sight of the tissue out of my mind. But at the same time I can't afford, nor do I want another child at this time. I see some stories of the experience not being so bad...decisions, decisions...

Hey peoples

I took the first dose of the pill today and went thru the day without cramps or bleeding....tomorrow ill let yall know what happens to me with the second dose.

hi, im 16 years old and found out i was 7 weeks pregnate. I knew that I am too young too conceive a child at my age, and didn't want to ruin my life. It was a really hard descion to make especially since i did not tell my parents, or well my friends. I was in on this alone. I made all my appointments at planned parent hood right after my pregnancy test came up positive. I cried for over 7 hours. I decided to go for the pill abortion, thinking it was my best option. I was throwing up and felt realyl sick for awhile before and after i took the first abortion and spotted a little bit. I took it around 11pm on a Saturday around 3 weeks ago. it was the worst descion i could ever make. Considering i only had tyleol with codein to help the pain that i was going to experience i was a little nervous that it wouldn't be enough. About an 20mins later after i inserted the 4 pills orally to the side of cheeks i threw up. And started to feel the worse pain ive ever felt in my entire life. I was screaming and crying in pain that my brothers friend heard me over my music and air conditioner and came upstairs to see what was wrong with me. At that time i was desperate i told him what was going on, and he kind of sat there just watching me holding my legs so close to my body and barley being able to move and just screaming cause i was in so much pain. he ended up just walking out of the room and going home. I ended up falling asleep and waking up several hours later with blood all over my bed and myself and a lot of blood clots. i went to the bathroom to clean myself up and more just started dropping into the toilet. A week after i felt really sick and was crying a lot and didn't feel normal. I decided to tell my mom what i went threw. Shes an emergency room nurse and didn't like that i was running a fever and not feeling well. She made me an appointment at planned parent hood to get another sonogram there. They told me i was still pregnate and had to rush to the emergency room. My mom was "too busy" to take me so i ended up calling one of my friends and telling them what happened and he brought me. The doctors told me that it was normal that there was still stuff floating around in my stomach and it will take another week for the baby to be fully aborted. I was in the hospital for 9 hours. Planned parent hood almost killed me. I am blood type Rh negative, the father is Rh positive.. if i didn't get the roagan shot before the baby was fully aborted its blood would of ran threw my bloodstream and i would of been dead by the end of the week. Sitting alone in the hospital for 9 hours made me really depressed and scared. I wasnt cooperating well with the nurses or doctors either. I was so scared and so alone and felt that someone that was supposed to be born is now dead, i just felt like shit. They finally released me and gave me more antibiotics to fight off infection. Its been 2 weeks since then and i am still bleeding, having cramps when i wake up in the morning and have been feeling really sick still. Ive been nauseous and constipated. My boobs are also extremely sore still. My mom isnt listening to me when i tell her that i feel really sick and isnt taking anything into matter. I guess i gotta go threw this all alone again. I hope everythings okay though. I hope i can still have a child when im older. If not, then i messed up. I messed up big time. =[ i dont wanna go threw this alone anymore...

Ok, Im not sure if anyone is still reading this since all the posts are from a few months ago but I will try it anyway because I am scared and I dont know what to do..... I had the medical procedure done on May 23, and inserted the suppositories the next night before bed. I woke up the next day with diarreah like cramps and sure enough, I went to the bathroom, had diarreah and passed a huge "clump" in the toilet at a campground. So I knew that was it... They gave me vicodin for the pain and it really wasnt that bad. A bad period is what it felt like to me. The hard part for me was that no one knew what I was doing, including my husband, except my mother who was in another state. So I was camping with a bunch of people I barely knew and secretely going through this alone. I had to tell my husband I was having a miscarriage.
To make a long story short, I have been to the hospital twice since then, once for bleeding and once for pain. They did an ultrasound and said they didnt see anything there anymore but I still had the pregnancy hormones in my blood. Keep in mind I never told them what I did, I just said I had a miscarriage so Im not sure that I was checked the way I should have been. Here it is July 29, More than 2 months later and I am still bleeding. It has not stopped at all and the past few days its getting even worse so no signs of letting up, yet.
Im not sure if I should go to the hospital and just be honest and tell them what I did so they can make sure I am really ok. I have read that some people have to have surgery to stop the bleeding and some actually need a blood transfusion. My question is, how do you know if you are one of those people?? Am I ever going to stop bleeding?? Someone pleace tell me if you have had this experiance because I am really getting scared now and I have no one to talk to. Thank you

please im a university student have 2 children already im 8 weeks pregnant but mentallly not fit to carry with this pregnancy. please help where i can go for abortion pills

Hi..I did the pill about 3 weeks ago. I took the first pill at the clinic. That just caused me to feel nausea all day. I decided to do the 2nd part the next day. I inserted the 5 pills, 2 on each side of my cheeks at about 11:30 am. Left them there for 30 min as I was instructed and before I even swallowed, I began having intense cramps. And I started bleeding really soon after swallowing them. The cramps were really bad at one point for about 2 hours. I started clotting and that lasted for about 11 hours. Everytime I would even stretch out my leg or make the littlest movement, I could feel a clot come out. I slept sitting up on the couch, I mean I had to get up every 5 min anyways. The next morning, the cramping eased a lil, but I took pain pills to help. My bleeding was really heavy for about a week after that, then it was light pink and barely there by the time I went back for my 2 week follow up. At the appointment, the doctot discovered there was still some pregnancy tissue left in there that needed to come out, so she gave me a repeat of the 2nd pills. I took them this past sunday and I didnt bleed or pass anything at all! Does anyone know what will have to happen next? I am worried that that tissue will never come out...please anyone who has any idea about this, please comment. Thank you.

I have had a surgical abortion....a year after my daughter was born...It was very painful during the procedure...and I know that I could not do it again...But now, I am faced with another pregnancy that I cannot handle...and I am going to opt for the medical abortion pills tomorrow. After reading all that has been said, I am completely scared to death...I have my mother to help be by my side through this....and I know I can do it...but I cannot handle infections and defective pills....!!! How horrible! To think that after making such a tremendous decision of ending the life inside of you only to end up half dead yourself (and with a child already in this world who depends on you to make it)! I know that they will explain the risks associated with the pills tomorrow....or rather later today...but still, to read such horrible circumstances leaves me with great fear...I can only hope that I have the strength to get through this...God be with me....

I found out i was pregnant a week ago and went to the local planned parenthood where they confirmed a 6 week pregnancy. however, they then told me that since the doctor was out of town, i would have to wait another week and five days to actually have my abortion. initially, i wanted the medical abortion, and still believe it is the right decision of the two. however, after reading all of these stories, and also being so much more far along than i was at first, i am terrified of the experience. i am supposed to take the first pill in about six days. the local pp wasnt very supportive, and almost all the info ive read about these pills are contradictory (effectiveness, safety, when you can take them, etc) so i am feeling very alone and confused. the idea of inducing a miscarriage is nauseating to me, but i dont feel like there is any better option. any support would be great, i am completely in the dark.

I have done abortion pill previously and regret that since my bleeding was so heavy and didnt stop until my Doctor gave me some healing medicine. I was bleeding around 2-3 month!

Now i think that surgical abortion is much quicker and easyer by means of bleeding and recovering!

i just found out im pregnant and figured out i wanted to do the abortion pill, the thing that worries me is..is the abortion pill a good way to end pregnancy because i heard about numerous deaths and im scared of that so should i worry about that? Or will it be fine when i take it? i never had an abortion before its my first time i had my period last in the last week of may and it ended june 5th..today is july 3rd how many weeks preg would that be and when is too late to take the pill how many weeks in? i just really need to know cuz im scared and i want to get this done but i know once its done and over with ill regret doin the abortion but i know if i keep it ill get kicked out and i cant tell my parents especially my dad cuz ill get kicked out..i dont have money for a kid right now i dont know im emotionally stressed out sooo much...can someone help answer my questions it would mean so much and make me feel better...thank you

Reading all of your entries have made me relax a little so i wantred to thank all of you for sharing your stories. Wish me luck:)

I am 20 years old and found out I was pregnant in late February 2008. I first took 2 pregnancy tests, which tested positive. The next step was calling Planned Parenthood. They informed me that there were two options for the abortion process. Option 1 was the surgical procedure which involved local anesthesia and a sucker like tube inserted into the vagina. Option 2 was the pill abortion which is performed in your own house. I chose the pill abortion simply for the fact that I could preform most of the "procedure" in my own home and that it didn't involve instruments inside my uterus. You must be under 9 weeks pregnant in order to use the pill abortion. Before deciding whether to go through with it, I scheduled an ultrasound to see how far along I was and to give me a few days to think about it. I strongly reccomend having an ultrasound prior to the abortion scheduling, just to give you time to think and make a logical decision that is not rushed while sitting in the room. I had my ultrasound on a Thursday. It was not painful, just slightly uncomfortable. They insert a probe into your vagina for this process. I found out I was about 6 weeks along. I thought about it for a couple of days and finally decided to have the abortion on a Saturday. They will most likely give you another ultrasound just to confirm. I had to answer many questions to ensure I was prepared and informed about what I was doing. The nurses at Planned Parenthood were very nice and did not judge at all. After that they give you all the information and instructions you will need. You have to do a small finger prick to test your blood for positive or negative blood type. Once that is done they give you some crackers and water to eat. A dr. comes by and pops the first pill in your hand and asks you to swollow it and show her that you did. After that you are free to go home with all the information they gave you. I had no side effects from the first pill at the Dr.'s office. They said some bleeding and some cramping could be possible. I spent the rest of the day doing normal activities and just waiting. The next day (24 hours later as instructed) I prepared myself for the second part of the process. I ate a small breakfast, took a vicadin in adavance to prepare myself for the pain, placed an ace heating bandage on my belly and wore the most comfortable clothes possible. I then sat on the bathroom floor, inserted the 4 pills between each gum and cheek and waited the 30 thirty minutes as instructed. During the 30 minutes I was just anxious and became slightly light headed with some hot flashes. At the end of the 30 minutes you are instructed to swollow what is not dissolved. And thats where it all begins. The second I tried swollowing the remainder of the pills I became extremely sick to my stomach. I immediately threw up and felt like I had to poop really bad. I tried sitting on the the toilet but became so light headed and sick it was almost impossible. I began bleeding quite a bit and the heating pad was only making things worse. I called my mom and told her I needed her to come be with me. It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I was so uncomfortable, with pains shooting through my vagina, my abdomen, up my back and I was extremely fatigued. At first, I thought something was going wrong and I needed to go to the hospital. My mom found me on the bathroom floor, half naked and curled up in pain. The only way I can describe it is that has to be what childbirth is like. Extreme pain that cannot be eased no matter what. I also felt like my bottom was going to rip open for some reason. Its a deep intense squeezing pain inside your stomach. I was sweating and running a fever. Luckily, this only lasted about an hour for me. As quickly as it had all began, the pain just dissppeared. I suddenly came to and felt much better. My mom helped me get up change clothes and layed me in bed. The rest of the day I just felt extremely fatigued with mild cramps, but nothing like the ones I had been experiencing. I bled for about 3 weeks later off and on, but very light. My recommendations: take your vicadin regularly as directed, drink lots of water, DONT DO IT ALONE, and take 2 days off after starting the 2nd set of pills. You will bleed alot that first day and pass some clotts (expecially when wiping). You must use pads, which suck because you feel like everyone can tell and you change them frequently. 2 weeks later you do a follow up ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy was aborted. My personal experience was that I felt it was the right decision, and I still believe it was. It should not be used as a form of birth control or taken lightly. There are some side effects, and most likely emotional trauma afterwards. If I ever accidently become pregnant again, i could not have another abortion. That pain was unbearable and I could not do it again, ethically. It is extremely painful, extremely emotional, and needs to be well thought out. The decision is a personal one but take time in making it. I dont believe you will ever feel 100% about your decision, but think it through.

i dont know if im 9 weeks pregnant because my last period was march 20(first day)and today is 5-27-08. i didnt went to the hospital to had an ultrasound i just count. i already had 2 kids eldest is going 3 this june and the going is going 1 this june also. i had this unplanned pregnancy i thought of having an abortion since the first month its just that the reason it took me so long is the money. cause its not legal in our country so i look for a site and i saw womenonweb.com i send them the donation of 40 euro and they send me the package 5 days after. then now just now. 8:40pm i took the mifepristone.. so tomorrow im kinda scared because of what ive read and heard but im still gonna do it. my husband and i talked about it. i can tell that he is worried about me he said that i should take care of myself. he is gonna be by my side when i do it. im just gonna put the 2 misopristol tablet in between gums and cheeks and another 2 after 4 hours. sounds easy but really scarey. but i have to condition myself.
i know how giving birth is painfull but..

ive always pray to GOD to help me, and nothing bad will happen. and i ask HIM to take my baby with HIM. i know its against HIM but i still trust HIM.

i am nineteen and just took the second part of the abortion pill today. i dissolved the 4 pills in my mouth at around 4 this afternoon, and about an hour later began to bleed intensely. i am/was 6 weeks pregnant, so there is more blood being released than what i had expected. i had the smallest painless cramp the first hour before i started to bleed, and now i am just going to the bathroom frequently. my boyfriend and i both made the choice for me to take the abortion pill only because i was less than 7 weeks pregnant. if i had been more, i would have kept the baby and given it up for adoption. the first few hours that i have experienced so far are incredibly personal and emotional, but it's also a good feeling knowing that i have gotten it taken care of. i'm just waiting for this insanely heavy bleeding to subside, because then as far as i've been told from a friend who has taken the pill, the bleeding winds down to a period-like bleeding. i wish you luck :)

I'm 18 years old and i jus found out about 2 weeks ago that i was 5 weeks pregnant. Just hearing the words coming from the nurses mouth brought me to tears. I went home and told my boyfriend who was really supportive of me,no matter what decision i chose to make. So, anyway i was and still am very scared.I'm about 7 weeks now.i found out about the abortion pill about a week ago,but after doing research i found out that the abortion pill has very serious side effects including death.i read about bad cramping and bleeding that stops whenever and that really scared me.thank god i did my research because i actually had a appointment to take the pill the next day..so after doing research i immediately called and changed it from the medical procedure to the surgical procedure.my appointment is early in the morning and I'm very,very nervous..but at the same I'm just ready to get it all over with.so wish me luck.

here is my situation i just had a baby january 13 2008 a baby girl who was pre-mature born at 25 1/2 weeks she doing very well and very health now she will be coming home in a few days from the hospital....i just found out a week ago i am pregnate again im am scared to have another premature baby it was tuff...i dont want to have another baby right now i havent even taken home my first baby yet. i talked withmy boyfriend he wanted to have an abortion with our first but i wanted to keep her i just couldnt see myself takin a life away.. but now i dont think we are finacial ready to have another we have no family close to us i quit my job where i was makin great money i want to have another baby in a few years when we are ready but i dont want to do the sergical abortion i have heard some pretty scary stuff but now i have been hearing the same about the pill i have a mild case of anemia and my boyfiend works 6days a week so i have no one to take care of me and our baby girl i need some advice what should i do??!!

I have an appointment this Friday to go take the first pill. I am so nervous being 20years old and not really sure what to expect. This is something I do not want to do but its what I have to do.neither my boyfriend or myself can support a child,I mean we still live at home. This was such an accident and we were using protection it just didn't work I guess. I have no idea what I am supposed to be expecting, where do you bleed am I supposed to sit on a toilet for hrs or do I wear a pad I'm so confused. Just wondering if anyone has any other facts they can share.

and my story is one that would fill anyone with dread. Last year I found out that I was pregnant for the fourth time but knew something wasn't quite right. I had feelings that I'd never experienced before and they really frightened me. I became super protective over my own child but hated others and couldn't be near them. There were really bad pains too, down my back and underneath. I made the decision to abort and at my first scan was told that there was just an empty bag of water inside me. I was given the first pill in hospital and felt fine afterwards, then 2 days later went back into hospital to have the second pill (4 pessaries) and had to remain there until the nursing staff decided it was ok for me to leave.
About 2 hours after the pessaries, I started to bleed, not heavy at first but enough to upset me. I felt a clot come out but it wasn't a normal looking clot, very pale, almost pink in colour and not that big. A few hours later some more small clots came out and after the nursing staff examined them I was allowed home. I assumed that was it, although I knew I had to return for a follow up scan 2 weeks later.
I bled like a normal period for 8 days and then it stopped. I assumed that all was ok... more fool me. During my follow up scan, which had to be done internally, I was told that the bag was still there along with some other debris (clots)... great. After all the prodding and poking I started to bleed again.
A week later I had another scan, bag and bits still there so I was then referred to another hospital for a surgical procedure. At this hospital, when they looked through the notes they advised that a surgical for just an empty bag could damage my womb... hmmm no thank you. So I was then given another pill and sent home.
This carried on for almost 2 months, no bleeding but then a sneeze or cough would make me pass a clot or start bleeding again.
In total, I'd had 5 scans and bled for over 2 months. I finally passed the products of conception (empty bag and placenta) but it took just over 2 months.
If anyone reading this has the same situation of an empty gestational sac, I would strongly suggest letting nature do it's thing as it will pass on it's own before 20 weeks anyway.

well i found out i was pregnant when i peed on a stick i made the decision of aborting because i already have a wonderful 16 month old child and im not stable to bring another child into this world(fianaclly..i made the appointment with planparent hood... wensday april 30th i had a sonogram it said i was 6 weeks, so i deccided to do the pill becuase i was scared of the surgical it didnt look or feel safe to me.. i took the first pill at the doctors office i felt fine i only had nausea but didnt throw up jus felt like it.. then the whole day i was fine feeling a little sick in my stomach but it was nothing it just made me very sleepy. then the next day at 12:30 i took the 2nd part of the pill they told me to hold it in my cheeks and gums for an half hour so i did.. immediatly after that i felt cramps but not as bad as i thought it wouldve been..had bleeding and diarreha a common side effect.. i felt the "fetus" come right out the biggest blood clot i ever seen.. but anyway i had heavy bleeding for about 4 hours after that it was light..now im perfectly fine going in 2 weeks to find out if everything is ok.. i honestly feel fine mentally emotinally and physcially i think its because i got pregnant by a guy i didnt really care for like that and i really didnt think to much of the fetus i just thought of it as a problem that needed to be resolved. and thats my story hopefully women dont get scared by the storys u read on this blog but the 37 year old women that got endocrimotis (watever) it says on the list if ur over 35 not to take the pill so its not the pills fault that, that happened i see it as that was her fault she shouldve read more into the medical abortion.. this method is the best and its awesome so i suggest if your no more then 8 weeks do the pill,..

what happens if you take the first pill then change your mind? I have already taken the first one and understand that it stops the hormones but is it now too late?

I found out i was pregnant on April 13th 2008.At this point my period was 2 weeks late and I knew something was up. There are no words to express the way I felt finding out that I was indeed pregnant and had a potential human being growing rapidly inside of me. Although, I have always been Pro choice for all, I never thought I would chose to abort. My decision was final by the next day for many reasons all of which include what was best for me and the mini me growing inside. I knew that I was not ready (finacially, emotionally, physically, or mentally) to be a mother. Motherhood requires a lot from a person and somtimes people just arent ready. I know im not and neither was my boyfriend who feared parenthood as much as I did. My appointment at planned parenthood was scheduled for the following monday April 21st. That is where I had a ultasound and found out I was 6 weeks and four days pregnant. I was well within the 9 week time limit and was therfor eligable for the abortion pill. I took the first step in the abortion process that day and swallowed a Mifepristone pill. This pill had minimal side effects and i felt normal the rest of the day. Tuesday morning at 12:30 I took the Misoprostol. By 1:00 they had completly dissolved and slight cramps began. At about 1:15 the cramps were rather intense and became unbearable. THankfully, this only lasted 30 minutes and by 1:45 the intense cramping had subsided. The rest of the day I had minor cramps that felt like mensturual cramps but werent too bad. I bleed pretty heavily that day with medium size blood clots. By 7:00 I had aborted all pregnancy tissue (which could clearly be seen) and was feeling better. It is now April 28th and the bleeding is finally beginning to lighten.All and All though I felt the medical abortion was a good alternative tot he surgical abortion which just didnt seem right for me. I felt the medical abortion was more natural and it has been easier for me to cope with the decision. I have my follow up appointment this coming up wednesday and if all goes well will be cleared completly. Phyically this pill wasnt too bad and emotionally the effect is not terrible. I am now kind of sad that I put myself in this situation but I do not regret my decision. I am happy this option was available for me.

i just found out im pregnant i dont want an abortion.. but i am interest in the abortion pill, but im not quiete sure where i could find it or locate it. pleaseeee.. help me!!

I have an appointment on Wednesday at 11am to take the abortion pill, i hope i'm not too far along and i can take the abortion pill. I think i'm 5-7 weeks. I am just so scared because i have a 2 year old son and he is very active. And i've heard of a lot of horrible stories about this pill and even some deaths. I'm scared because i dont want anything to happen to me because i have to take care of my son. Is this pill really that bad? or should i go with the surgery instead, is that safer? And will i be able to care for my son after taking the first pill?

I found out i was pregnant on december 27 of 2007. My first reaction was i almost passed out and got scared because im 20 and im going to start college. I went online and did a lot of research about abortions and which method will be good for me. I decided to do the pill method because it felt more private and i felt like i was in charge and i chose when to take it. My boyfriend and I made the decision together and made sure we were 100% positive specially me since im older than him. I made my appointment and when i did i got scared and nervous because inside i felt like i was about to the biggest mistake of my life but i had to think of it in a different way, i know i wasnt going to be able to give that baby the best and i know my family was not going to support me 100%. I went to the clinic and for some reason the atmosphere didnt feel that bad. The people at the clinic treated me well and made sure that i was positive with what i was going to do. I found out i was 6 weeks pregnant and that made me weak to my knees because i didnt think i was that far along so i cried a little. I took the first pill and the doctor told me i can insert the other pills vaginally 24 hrs later that way for new yrs eve my body wont feel that bad. The day i took the first pill i felt fine and i didnt bleed. I was able to go out and try to take my mind off the stress. I felt regret but it was too late to turn back. The next day at 10 am i inserted the other pills and in about 30 minutes i was bleeding intensely. I began to cramp about an hr later so i decided to take the pain killer. I bled a lot for about 4 hrs and afterwards i felt a little better. The cramping was not as bad as i thought they would be since my period cramps are a lot worst then what i felt that day. My new years day i was not excited about it since it finally hit me that i let go of something that could have been my child, a child that has both me and my boyfriend put together. I went home because i saw my nephews and seeing them since they are babies made me sad. My boyfriend went with me and he tried to be there for me emotially because it wasnt easy for me afterwards.I went to my check up 2 weeks later and i was cleared of my abortion and was told i was good to go and will be able to start fresh.I still bled for 8 days afterwards but then it stopped till i finally got my period a month later. I thought i was going to be able to handle the emotional part since i handled the physical part but i didnt. I felt sad for days specially since i felt like my boyfriend was not affected by it. Finally i sat down with my boyfriend and told him how i felt emotionally and told him i didnt know what to do anymore since i had so much guilt. Finally he spoke his emotions and we cried together and i guess for me that brought me a little closure with the situation. Ever since me and him have a greater communication and he treats me like a princess and reminds me everyday that im the best thing in his life that way i can be better. That made me feel 80% better so for me to finally feel ok i decided to write a poem for the unborn baby. I wrote what i felt and i felt like in peace once i did that. Its been a month now and me and my boyfriend made a promise that in a yr we'll move in together and will try to start our family. My only advice for girls who are going to do this is make sure you are not alone and have the support that you need. Physically anyone can beat the hard parts but the emotional part will always be with you. Support is everything and so is being loved. Having the right crowd around you will make it easier day by day. It may not be as smoothly as it was for me so fast but then again this is not the easiest thing to do at all.Get all the facts and do your research. In the end make sure its your choice and not anybody elses.
