Sick after taking mifepristone help!

Yesterday I took the mifepristone tablet (first stage), within 20 minutes I was sick a lot! I have been sick and nauseous with this pregnancy so far everyday so it probably didn't help taking it in the morning thinking about it. I rang the gynaecology and they said it usually takes up to an hour to digest in your system but they wouldn't be able to give me another one just in case it had absorbed - they advised me to proceed with the second stage which will be tomorrow (48 hours) but I still feel very sick today and can't keep anything down. Does this indicate it hasn't worked? Should all symptoms have gone by now? I'm so nervous about it all.
Today I just feel awful and can't stop crying.

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

When I took Mifepristone I was very nauseous and sick a lot until I took the next lot of tablets 72 hours later. I had morning sickness but the sickness went a lot worse after taking Mifepristone. I remember also having a few dizzy spells where I felt like I was going to pass out. Don’t worry, the sickness and nausea doesn’t mean it’s not worked. I bet it’s just your body reacting to the medication.

As soon as I took the Misoprostol tablets the sickness seemed to disappear almost straight away.

Sorry you’re having to go through this. It’s a horrible experience. Flowers

Oh yes that’s exactly how I was. I couldn’t move due to feeling so sick. How many weeks were you when you took the Mifepristone? I was 8 weeks 4 days.
If you need to talk through any of it I’m always here. x
