Medication abortion. Who's had one, tell me how the procedure went for you.

You'll find out if you do it.

Well, I did do it, but it was so hard for me, even though the doctors promised something completely different.

Darina, it all depends on your mindset and individual body characteristics!!! It's fine.

Everything went smoothly for me, just as promised, without any complications.

My friend did it. She said by the time she got home, the entire car seat was soaked through with blood.

Heavy menstrual periods

It hurt a lot - we called an ambulance.

When I took the first pill, everything was fine. There was light bleeding.

But when I took the second one three days later, there was heavy bleeding and it was painful. I took painkillers and something else for nausea.

It's normal for a maxi pad to last about four hours.

The doctor was always available by phone.

They say it's better to take the second pill at the clinic, but I was dealing with issues from both ends, so I can't imagine how I would have managed that at a clinic.

I took the second pill at 9 a.m., and by 5-6 p.m. I was able to walk normally and felt relatively okay.

Oh, girls, poor things, you should protect yourselves better, having to endure such things... it's just awful to read about it here.

I did it once. There were no complications, but the temperature rose to 38.5.

I had it this autumn. I was terrified, thought I was going to die. Luckily, everything went painlessly, just a slight pulling in my stomach (but not painful). So, I got off with just a scare. And there was spotting for another 10 days.

But if I had to do it in a hospital room and spread my legs... that would have been stressful. But it turned out okay, knock on wood.

I'm using NovaRing for contraception now. Very satisfied.

I had it done in Sweden. A week ago. I was very satisfied. On Monday, I was given one pill (I don't remember the name), on Wednesday, four Mifegine tablets vaginally and told to take Ipren (the same as Mig400). I lay on the couch for about an hour, then they told me to walk around. Another hour later, heavy menstruation started. I sat in a chair with my laptop for a couple more hours, and then they let me go. They said it would be heavy for two days, followed by spotting for a couple of weeks. By the second day, I was working without any issues. There was no pain. Considering my history of childbirth and two abortions (surgical ones in Russia), everything went just wonderfully. And to those who are against abortions, I say: "You're so annoying! What am I supposed to do if no method works?! I have a child despite using a condom, so should I get my tubes tied or give birth every year? To you, everyone who's had an abortion is immediately a whore and a murderer. And Russian doctors think the same. Only here did I encounter a normal attitude, even though there are many children here and abortions are very rare, but no one considers you an uneducated fool, a whore, a murderer... unlike in fucking Russia, where they can only scream 'give birth' but are incapable of improving the population's standard of living." Here, it even costs many times less than in Russia, and the attitude and conditions are incomparable.

If no method works—simple logic—combine two, for example, I take birth control pills and use condoms, something should work. And also, tell me about the child with a condom: the condom didn't break or slip off, right? And still pregnancy? Phew, it's no wonder I take birth control pills besides condoms. Actually, I agree with you, you can even combine three methods, add spermicide—still, there's no 100% guarantee.

I am 33 years old. I underwent this procedure twice in a row at 4-5 weeks and 2-3 weeks gestation. The first one was in August, and then, without waiting for my menstrual cycle to return after it, an ultrasound and HCG test revealed I was pregnant again(((((((((((( I had the second one in October. Both went without pain, the bleeding wasn't very heavy, and I handled everything well))))) Although "well" might be an overstatement... It was a heavy toll on my body(((( Now I'm under the care of a gynecologist, working on balancing my hormones... What happens next, only time will tell.... And another very important point, I handled it much better psychologically than I would have with a surgical procedure!!!!

How is it that no method of contraception works? Are you from the moon? Or do you put the condom on your ear? And with withdrawal, it's absolutely impossible to get pregnant.

Well, abortion is certainly not a good thing. Two friends of mine had medical abortions, and their experiences were quite different. One barely felt any pain, while the other suffered for two months. That's just how their bodies reacted. But anyway, Comrade Guest, let it be known to you that the only 100% effective method is not having a uterus at all! And let's not talk about inhumanity here. This only concerns women, and certainly not the ladies in lab coats.

I had a medical abortion in September, and now I'm pregnant again. Do I have to go through it again?

I literally had one just a month ago. I already have two kids, and there's simply no room for a third. Two years ago, I had a regular abortion—everything went perfectly. Then, two months ago, I got pregnant again, and my husband and I decided to go with a medical abortion. I went to the doctor, and she gave me one pill to take—it kills the hCG hormone, which is responsible for pregnancy. As soon as it took effect, I felt it immediately because, before that, I couldn’t even eat for two weeks due to morning sickness. After 36 hours, I placed two more pills under my tongue. That’s when things got rough, to put it bluntly. Not only was I terrified of how my body would react, but I also didn’t want to see it. The doctor told me that if I experienced pain, I should absolutely not take antispasmodics like No-Spa or Spazmalgon—only paracetamol was allowed. When my period started, everything came out right away. The pain was awful, so I took Solpadeine since it contains paracetamol and caffeine. It helped quickly, and I didn’t feel much pain after that, but it was emotionally tough, especially after the embryo passed. So, honestly, I don’t even know which type of abortion is less harmful for a woman. But they say general anesthesia takes four years off your life, so it’s up to you to decide.

I'll do it tomorrow..! I'm scared(

I'll also be doing it tomorrow, what's your deadline?

I found out I was pregnant. The term was 3-4 weeks. I decided to have a medical abortion. I took all the necessary tests. On Wednesday, I took 3 pills (I don't remember what they're called). Everything went fine, with just a slight pulling sensation in my lower abdomen and some dark-colored discharge. On Friday, I took 4 pills. My stomach hurt so badly that my legs went numb. After 4-5 hours, my period started. That's it, nothing scary.

I'm lying in a hospital bed! I wonder what's going to happen to me?

I lay down for 2 hours, had a slight ache in my lower abdomen, got up and my period started! They gave me another pill to put under my tongue, I'm lying down at home now, still aching below!

I'm sitting here waiting too, it's scary.

Two hours later, it poured out, and something unclear came out! The blood was spotting for 7 days! I didn't go for an ultrasound! I immediately started taking birth control pills. I bought a test—one line! My period came after 19 days!

I've read so much... and I can't understand why everyone's experience is different. I'll share my story... On Thursday, I had a follow-up ultrasound and was told the pregnancy is 3-4 weeks. The next day, I was already at a private clinic... I signed a contract with the gynecologist. In her presence, I took one pill. She gave me three more to take home, which I need to take—or rather, dissolve under my tongue. Today is Saturday, but I have nothing—no discharge, nothing... Could the pill not be working???

I DID IT 5 TIMES, I HAD NO COMPLICATIONS, EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND PAINLESS

And contraception really doesn't always work. I got pregnant while taking birth control pills—didn't miss a single pill throughout the year, and thanks to those same pills, I only found out at five weeks. I had a medical abortion. After the second set of pills, the pain was so intense I was howling like a wolf. I don't know how people notice when it passes—I was barely conscious. Three days later, I had an ultrasound, and everything was fine. Maybe it's psychologically easier (though I don't understand how, when you have to look for the gestational sac in what comes out of you), but physically, I thought my last day had come...

Hello everyone! I'll tell you how it went for me! On the 11th, I took the first pills, and by evening, I started having discharge. The next day, it was pouring like from a bucket with lots of clots. Yesterday, on the 9th, I took the last ones, and about 10 minutes after taking them, I had such severe pain that I had to get off the minibus and sit on the ground, writhing in pain. I felt nauseous, dizzy, and couldn't see anything in front of me. The painkiller took effect after 30 minutes! Kind people took me to the hospital, where I stayed for about 2 hours under observation. The pain started again, and I wanted to go to the bathroom. When I went, it seemed like everything came out with lots of clots—I couldn't see if it was just clots or more. They gave me an injection because the pain started again. I went home, slept, and it all passed! Now it's just normal discharge!!! Thank God I'm alive!!! That was hell!!!

I'm 22 years old. This is my first pregnancy. I decided to have a medical termination. I spent a long time looking for a clinic, reading reviews, and saw all sorts of things. And damn, it's scary, and you end up reading all kinds of stuff... I settled on "Harmony."

I was terribly scared. I went to the clinic, after the gynecologist's exam, they did an ultrasound, and I had my blood tested. The term was 4 weeks.

On Thursday, I went to the clinic, took the mifepristone pill, and went home.

I didn't have any unpleasant sensations. On Saturday morning, I started having slight bloody discharge. My stomach was pulling a little.

The second stage took place in the hospital. There, they gave me two misoprostol pills and told me to put them under my tongue and let them dissolve. They taste disgusting.

After half an hour, my stomach started to ache, and I felt nauseous. I was supposed to have breakfast, but I couldn't eat anything.

After an hour, the pain became much stronger. But it was quite bearable! I usually have painful periods. I take painkillers, and that's it.

But here, they said it's not advisable to take painkillers for the first couple of hours.

I had to endure it. What was exhausting was that the pain was strong and lasted for several hours. I was very nauseous. Thankfully, I hadn't eaten breakfast. I felt dizzy.

After 2-3 hours, the embryo came out. They did an ultrasound and said everything was fine.

I stayed there for a couple more hours, and then they let me go home. I don't even want to talk about my emotional state.

Today is the second day "after." My condition seems normal.

Although my period is a bit heavier than usual. But that's normal.

Take care of yourselves, girls!

Hello, perhaps my review will be helpful to someone. My last menstrual period was on October 18, conception occurred on October 31. After undergoing an ultrasound and preliminarily taking a smear for purity level, on November 26, I took one tablet of Mifepristone (China). After 48 hours, I took three tablets of Misoprostol (China). When I asked why only one tablet of Mifepristone was given when three are recommended everywhere, the doctor categorically stated that the dosage was correct. An hour after taking Misoprostol, discharge began, very scant. Out of curiosity, I got up four times during the night to use the bathroom, and each time, a clot the size of a walnut came out. I had no pulling sensations, no nausea, and felt consistently well. The next day, I rushed to the doctor because, after scouring the internet, I found that almost everyone experiences severe pain and heavy bleeding. The doctor performed an ultrasound and said the egg had been expelled, then prescribed injections of No-Spa and Oxytocin. The discharge somewhat increased on the third day after the medical abortion but was no heavier than a normal period—about three nighttime pads a day, and even those not fully soaked. Three days later, I returned for a check-up. After an examination on the chair and an ultrasound, the doctor said everything was fine and prescribed Oxytocin for another four days, along with Trichopol and a gynecological herbal mixture. On the tenth day after the medical abortion, I had a follow-up ultrasound, and everything was clear. The discharge lasted for seven days from the start.

The same doctor shared that she had two cases: in one, the pills didn't work, and the fetus didn't move even a millimeter, requiring a double dose; in the other, the woman's pregnancy continued to develop. Among my friends, one experienced severe pain and bleeding, ultimately needing a surgical abortion, while the other had a normal experience the first time but not the second, requiring a D&C. I'm writing in detail because when I encountered my atypical reaction—judging by forums where heavy bleeding and pain are common—I found at most three reviews describing a similar response with no pain or pulling sensations and scant discharge. Only one person responded, and her medical abortion had been unsuccessful. I absolutely do not recommend following my regimen for self-treatment; I simply wrote this to show that such cases also happen. Always rely on ultrasound and only under a doctor's supervision. Stay healthy.

I took the mifepristone pill at the doctor's office... the next evening, I took 2 misoprostol pills, and about 2 hours later, I started bleeding like a period all night—I used 11 pads... my lower back and stomach hurt a little. In the morning, I called the doctor, and she said to take 2 more misoprostol pills. I took them... my stomach and lower back hurt, and twice, a small clot about the size of a couple of peanuts came out. And that's it... now it's just like a period. Is that all??? Does that mean not everything came out???? And I really don't understand how people know if the egg came out???????????

Hello! I was prescribed 1 tablet of Mifepristone (Russia), which I have already taken... and 2 times 2 tablets of Misoprostol (to take tomorrow). So far, nothing is happening, I feel fine))) I'm curious why the dosage amounts for the same pills are different?)))

Hello. On 01/09/2013, I had an ultrasound at the clinic—4 weeks. I took one pill and was immediately sent home, and my ordeal began: severe headaches, extremely low blood pressure, rapid pulse... I couldn't eat at all, though I didn’t vomit, but I felt nauseous; my stomach didn’t hurt at all, and there were no discharges after the first pill. On 01/11, I took two more pills at the clinic and went home to wait for the horrors. Bleeding started about thirty minutes later—nothing like terrible gushes of blood, just a normal period. My head hurt, and I had mild but nagging lower abdominal pain. I took the pills at 5:00 PM, and at 10:10 PM, I discovered a light-colored clot the size of a small walnut—I think it was the gestational sac. The emotional torment is too great, and I really hope I never have to go through this again. Wishing everyone good health.

Hello! On 13.02.13, I took a Mifepristone pill at the clinic. They kept me for 30 minutes to monitor my reaction. Since everything was normal, they sent me home. In the evening, I had a slight fever of 37.3°C, which went away after two hours. My stomach ached a little, but it was absolutely tolerable. I’m waiting for 15.02, when I need to take 2 pills in the presence of a doctor and stay there for 3–4 hours. I’m scared. I feel like my mental state is nothing compared to this process (though I don’t even know what awaits me yet). God bless you all with good health.

I had a medical abortion 1.5 years ago. I was 3 weeks pregnant, as shown by the ultrasound, even though a bunch of tests from different brands were negative. I had to take pills. I was very anxious, but I had a good doctor. I took the first pill—felt fine. Took the second one—still nothing. When I went for a check-up, the doctor got worried because my period should have started, but it hadn't. My body didn't react at all. Then she inserted two pills inside the uterus, and by evening, I started spotting. The next morning, I was back at the hospital because the bleeding was very light. This went on for three days. Two weeks later, my period started again, but it was very light. In short, the pills helped me, but I was stressed for a long time. My cycle returned to normal, nothing hurt, not even my head. But since that incident, I always use protection.

I felt deeply ashamed and emotionally pained to make such a decision as having an abortion. I blamed myself intensely for relying on an unreliable method of contraception (withdrawal). Foolishly, it had worked for four years, with two children planned, and now, with the youngest not even a year old, here I am, two lines on the test! Why couldn't this child have been sent to me at least three years later? After all, we do want a third. But giving birth every year, without time to recover, torn between little children, taking out my anger and exhaustion on them and those around me. I went through that and decided on a medical abortion. When I took the pills, I cried. And before that, I cried during the ultrasound, looking at the helpless little bundle that so desperately wanted to live it didn't even cause morning sickness in its mother. In short, girls, any abortion is emotionally very tough, especially when you truly grasp your own guilt and realize you're committing the most unforgivable act of your life.

At 6 weeks, I took one tablet of Mifepristone. After 48 hours, I took 2 tablets of Misoprostol, and three hours later, another 2 tablets of Misoprostol. Only after these did my period start. The pain was no worse than painful periods, even less, and I didn't feel the need for painkillers. I felt nauseous. I lay on the sofa and occasionally rushed to the toilet, where blood with clots was literally flowing out of me in a stream. By evening, the discharge lessened, and while undressing the kids after their walk, I felt something pass out of me. On the pad was a fairly large lump, resembling a piece of raw lung. Then, there was spotting for another 10 days. Ultrasound on Monday. I still feel ashamed and hurt.

Girls, please advise!!

I took the second dose of pills (misoprostol) 2 hours ago, and immediately started having pain, dizziness, and stomach upset. I took Tamipul, the doctor said it was okay.

The pain has sharply decreased, but bleeding hasn't started yet. Is this normal?

Hello, I had a medical abortion at the "Practical Medicine" clinic on Dinamo http://cpmed.ru/ - everything went smoothly, the doctors were very responsive and experienced, they explained everything thoroughly and without rush. There was pain similar to menstrual cramps and heavy bleeding in the first few hours, which then subsided.

I had a medical abortion, and now I regret it. The housing issue will never be resolved, and there are no reasons that could justify killing my unborn child. I can't turn back time, but I hope that any woman who is still considering it will change her mind and keep the baby. If I had waited and thought for just one more day, I wouldn't have done it. I regretted it the very next day.

I took Chinese pills twice a day for three full days. Then, three more doses of some other Chinese pill in the early morning. That's when it all started in the morning—I was doubled over in pain, nauseous, and after about three hours, I rushed to the bathroom. Something unclear came out, either a transparent or white mass (the color was barely distinguishable), but after that, the throbbing pain subsided. Then, as with most cases, clots the size of walnuts came out, about four times, and blood was pouring out like from a bucket. No fever or dizziness, I feel fine. I'm afraid to even think that something else might be left inside. P.S. I decided to terminate the pregnancy in the 6th month.

Girls, don't be afraid! The process is indeed dreadful, mentally taxing. But in 97% of cases, everything goes well. I took two pills, and two more after a day. Fourteen days have passed, and the ultrasound showed everything is clear, no pregnancy. Now, praying that everything will be fine in the future. Good luck to everyone)

Hello, girls! I found out I was pregnant on April 19th (I took two tests; both showed one clear line and a faint second one). I have a negative view of free healthcare, so I decided to go to a private medical center. During the examination, the doctor immediately diagnosed pregnancy and performed an ultrasound to determine the term. It was 2-3 weeks. I'm in shock, of course, abortion—the pregnancy is unwanted. I told the doctor my decision right away, and she tried to talk me out of it, but not pushily... had me sign a contract stating I was warned about the consequences, etc. She sent me for tests: blood from a vein, from a finger, urine, and a swab. By April 22nd, the results were ready, and everything was fine. I had to choose between a medical abortion or a mini-abortion. I asked the doctor for recommendations, and she advised the medical one. So, on the 22nd, I took 3 tablets of Mifepristone; about two hours later, I felt a bit nauseous, but it soon passed. I felt great, but the next day, I started having bloody discharge (without pain). On the 25th, I went for the second stage of the medical abortion—I took 2 tablets of Misoprostol, which cause uterine contractions. After taking the pills, I stayed at the clinic for 40 minutes under specialist supervision. I felt "excellent"... they let me go. About 20 minutes later, heavy bleeding started, accompanied by cramps in the lower abdomen. The sensation was awful; I spent the whole evening lying down, only getting up to smoke because I was really scared. The doctor had warned that no painkillers should be taken... the pain was like being torn apart inside. Today is the second day, bleeding like on the 1st-2nd day of a period, after surviving the night I feel okay, just a bit of abdominal pulling and lower back pain. My next appointment is scheduled for the 29th (a follow-up ultrasound), I hope everything goes without complications. I'll definitely update afterward to let you know if everything went fine.

Please tell me, when should my real period come after this? After taking the pills, everything came out, and I also received oxytocin injections and No-Spa. The entire bleeding lasted about a month. So I'm wondering, did my real period happen during this month or not? Or when should I expect it?

Girls, I've also run into the same problem(((

I have to do it. I have a small child, and it's really not the right time to have another one... How I got pregnant—no idea))) Well, actually, I know how)) But when, I can't figure it out, I've been married for years. But it's really a surprise...

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow...

Can anyone tell me, do they give you the pill right away?

I had a medical abortion last week.

I took the first 3 pills on May 6 at 4 PM. I felt no change, so I took the remaining 4 pills (Misoprostol) on Wednesday, May 8. And then it started—I thought I was going to die. I was even preparing for it. I don’t know how I survived that day, but I swore to myself that I would never have an abortion again, neither medical nor surgical.

I’m 19, it was my first pregnancy, and I had the abortion at 4.5 weeks.

By the way, I’m still bleeding—it’s been a week already.

The doctor prescribed Lindynette 30. I’ll start taking it.

I had a medical abortion, but it didn't work for me. The ultrasound showed that everything had come out, so I had to have a vacuum aspiration. Now the main thing is to avoid complications both during and after it. It's very hard emotionally; you could say I've had two abortions.((

I did it recently! Don't listen to anyone and don't read bad reviews... Everything depends only on your body and internal mindset. Everything went well for me.

I had a medical abortion at 3 weeks, I'm 21 years old, and this was my first pregnancy. On May 31, I took the first pill, mifepristone; everything was fine, but I felt nauseous all day. After 36 hours, on the morning of June 2, I took 3 more pills of misoprostol. That's when it all started—within 15 minutes, I had terrible lower abdominal pain. I usually have a strong reaction to my period and am used to it, but this was five times worse. I took 3 painkillers, but they didn't help. I suffered like this for about 6 hours, almost climbing the walls. I was also nauseous, vomiting, and running to the bathroom—everything was coming out from all ends, sorry for the details. I don't even remember how I fell asleep, probably exhausted from the pain, but when I woke up in the evening, everything was fine, as if I had been reborn. Yesterday, there was heavy bleeding, and in the evening, the gestational sac came out. Today, everything is fine—no pain, no nausea, and much less bleeding. Overall, I don't regret doing it; it turns out it's bearable. Girls, if this happens to you and you decide to have an abortion, don't delay going to the gynecologist. I think medical abortion is better than surgical. I hope your reaction to the medical abortion will be "softer" than mine.
