Medical abortion at 5.5 weeks - panicking

[Dingdong99]

I've just got the tablets for this and I'm now terrified about the process and how painful it's going to be

I'd be grateful if you could let me know your experiences if you have been through this, good or bad

I'm now wondering if I should have gone with the surgery option, only they couldn't fit me in for a couple of weeks and I just wanted to deal with this asap

Feeling seriously stressed out, this is horrible!

@Dingdong99 I was exactly the same as you terrified, it took me a whole day just to take the first pill & then day after I was supposed to take the second but I couldn’t as I was so scared like you thinking of the pain and bleeding etc.. I took my first pill on 2/12 at 6:30pm and the second lot of pills at 3pm on the 4th. After about an hour and half after I inserted the pills I started cramping went to the toilet and was bleeding I literally just sat on the toilet for just over 2 hours as I felt better that way, I lost a fair few clots & bled quite a bit but I wouldn’t say it was bad just worse then my period and I’m usually heavy. At about 10pm I think I was over the worst as clots stopped bleeding slowed and cramps died down although I still had cramps throughout the night and following day. I’m still bleeding but it’s not bad just like a period. Waiting 3 weeks now to test and make sure everything went as it should. I was around 6/7 weeks x
