I wanted to take the time to post on my experience as I spent possibly hours reading through different threads and I was absolutely terrified of it happening.
I read a mixed bag with some women explain it was fine.. Like a bad period.. Some women saying it was excruitiating! I'd also had two friends tell me two different opinions so I really didn't know what to expect... EVERY women is different.
I was 7 weeks and 2 days, the week before I felt horrific.. So nauseated and exhausted!
Took the test, me and my bf have been together around 6 months, we have no savings and he is younger then me and just getting his career going.. Mine is stable but I'm terrible with money and live paycheck to paycheck. Renting on your own is hard!
I had to remember that it wasn't just about me aswell and I just simply wasn't ready emotionally to do this.
The clinic visit was fine, I used BPAS, had to wait a week and they were really nice. They gave me the pack with mifepristone which I took on the same day--had zero reaction to this other than feeling sick tired and headache anyway from the pregnancy. I had literally been sleeping like majority of the day and the wake up to be sick was awful.
The next day you place 4 misoprostol into your vagina, I was terrified to do this it's the fear of the unknown. My bf was with me the whole time which helped.
I took codeine and ibprofen for period pain 30 min before placing them in... An hour in I felt drowsy.. 2 hours in I feel cramping and had mild period like bleeding, I brought Huge sanitary towels which was a good idea later on.
The period pain got heavier about 30 min later and felt like it was time for a poo a little. I think that's when it passed, you can see it's small round and a pale pink colour. This didn't hurt just felt odd, like a poop from your vagina.. Strange feeling!
Within the next hour I started passing clots. One was really quite big but again didn't hurt doing it - it's like you feel the cramp that hurts moderately then it passes-and it was like horrible period pain, I had a hot water bottle which really helped. After 3 hours I place two more misoprostol up.. This was a pain as my uterus was pushing in a way so one came back down so I would lie down to do this and stay lay down for 30 min if you can with a big pad on. Once I hit 4 hour mark I took second lot of meds, around this time the pain was at its worse and it was quite uncomfortable, but still like a horrible period pain, this passed within 5 min, it comes in waves Id say. 2 days later I'm bleeding still but not as heavy just like a period really.
I didn't have sickness of diorehea just mild chills I remember being cold and teeth chattering but this was fine when I was in bed and had my hot water bottle. I could eat so have a piece of toast and a bit of chocolate I was scared to eat so be careful and see how your body reacts. Tbh I honestly feel so much better, like myself again, no sickness, my bf and I said my belly bloating went gown instantly. I don't feel bad that I know feel better, it wasn't the right time. I was upset initially and cried alot but you have to think if I woke up not pregnant tomorrow would I feel better or worse? It's your decision yes but it does also affect others around you too, I feel I made the right decision for me and my bf and it has taught me that he is the one I will do this with one day.
