Taken first pill.

[charlie2138]

Hi everyone

I've looked at these forums lots but never posted. But really would like some support

I have taken the first pill for the medical abortion at home. I had antisickness tablets to help with the nausea which have helped but I am feeling so emotional.

I have to do the next lots of tablets at 5pm and I'm so nervous for the pain and the emotional feelings of expelling what is there.

I've never had a baby or been pregnant before. I'm 31 and in a really happy new relationship but he lives abroad so we only see each other every 6weeks and with the pandemic who knows how much he would be around for us. He's been amazingly supportive with me with everything but he is away at the moment so I'm doing this alone.

I just feel so sad. I am only 5 weeks but feel so much guilt for what I'm doing one minute , but the next minute I feel okay and I'm looking forward to the future. I am just so confused as I'm not 100% sure what my reasons for terminating the pregnancy were. But I wanted it done ASAP before I felt like it was developing too much. When I found out I was pregnant I was shocked but I wasn't upset. I went for a scan and even kept the photos of the tiny egg and yolk because I was really curious.

I don't really know why I'm posting I think it's for support over the next 24 hours.

Hi charlie213, I had a medical abortion last week and found this forum a wonderful source of support and information.

It's was the hardest decision I had to make but knew I was doing the right thing for me and my family. The most important thing I would do is use the support you have around you, and counseling after if you are struggling.

I was just over six weeks when I took the first tablet. I took the second tablets 2 days after, I build up a lot of fear in my head, about what was going to happen and we each here have a different story to tell about how the process was our bodies all react differently. I found it was like having a really bad period. I was given codein to take which I had the used as well a paracetamol and ibuprofen, my hot water bottle became my best friend and I just set up on couch watching tv between going to try the bathroom.

If you need any support or questions just ask us here we all support each other here. Sending big hug. You are strong and will make it through this. 💕

I had an abortion back in August. It broke my heart into pieces but I have a severely disabled child and right now wasn't the best time for a second child. I felt so many emotions after taking the first pill. Fear, so much guilt and sadness.

2 days later I took the second set of pills. Nothing happened until the next day. The pain was difficult but codeine and a hot water bottle helped. The pain lasted 5 hours and then I fell alseep. Woke up and no more pain, I bled for around 2 weeks after, and then I stopped. I'm still waiting for my period.

I know it was for the best and when we try properly it'll be such a different experience. But I bought a small charm to remind me of what happened and I won't forget them. Good luck OP, no matter what you made the best decision for you at the time, and when it's right it'll be amazing. ♥️

Thank you so much for replying and sharing your stories it really helped. I am about to insert the second tablets , it will be 24 hours since the first, I'm trying to time it around work Monday so that I'm okay for then. I'm a teacher so I need to be as okay as possible. I've have mild cramping all day and been in an out of sleep just off the first tablet. I have support with me and my dog is being very good too. I'm hoping the worst is over by the end of tonight.

It was about 6hs from taking the second lot of tablets till I passed it, I was watching for it because in my head I needed to know when I passed it. Being so early you probably wont see much especially if your passing clots, but the craps and pain will come to a point and that's when your likely to pass it and then they should start to calm down. I was back at work the next day I just kept taking pain relief and made sure I was near a toilet, but to be honest I felt so much better my the evening that I passed it. Just pop on here if you are worried or just need a chat 💕💕
