Medical abortion at 4 weeks, what’s it like?

I’ve had a surgical abortion at 6 weeks. No pain, no blood. Any chance the pill abortion will be the same?

I don't have experience of having an abortion but I imagine there would be blood still with the pill option

@ShalomToYouJackie I didn’t get blood the first time

I had to use the same tablets for a medical management of miscarriage although that was at 8 weeks.

NHS website has lots of information and says

"within 4 to 6 hours of taking the second medicine, the lining of the womb breaks down, causing pain, bleeding and loss of the pregnancy"

That's because with the surgery, everything is removed during the surgery whereas with the pill, your body expels the pregnancy itself, like a period but probably a bit heavier

Yes of course!
