Hi people this is my first time posting and not really sure how this thing works but here goes,
During lockdown I found out I was pregnant After failed pill, myself and partner decided it would be for the best to not go ahead with it. It has been emotional and was hard to take that first pill knowing that once it’s done it’s done and no going back,
On Tuesday I swallowed the first pill about 10.30pm no issues - yesterday evening at 5pm I inserted the first 4 pills and 3 hours later had slight bleeding mild period like cramping and inserted the other two.
Had back ache and on and off stomach cramps throughout the night slight bleeding but nothing major and the pain wasn’t significant enough to even take pain killers.
Can I have other peoples experiences please ? Wondering if this is normal and my body is just taking its time or it’s failing to work ?? Getting worried about it as I don’t think I’ve passed the pregnancy and pains aren’t really prominent or increasing. In fact probably decreasing if anything. Thanks xx

Hey a few posts down there’s lots of different experiences. I think it depends how early you are but nothing you can do until you take your test in 3 weeks I think. good luck 🙂

Hi,

I had a medical termination a long time ago. Maybe 12 years ago. I was around 6 weeks. They have me one pill in the morning, and then one later that evening. When I got home I had what I can describe as a strong (but not out of the ordinary) "period". Nothing crazy strong, I may have taken some pain killers in anticipation, but can't remember it being bad. After that evening I was back to normal. Hope that helps...

Hi MariaA, how did this turn out for you? I’m in the same position. Took the tablets at home and had very minimal bleeding/pain.. I’m worried it hasn’t worked! Can you advise from your experience? Thanks so much
