Medical abortion at 8 weeks

[Difficultime]

Hi I'm looking for positive real medical abortion experiences,
I'm 8 weeks pregnant ( as of tomorrow ) and I had a difficult decision to make and went through BPAS. A baby wouldn't be the right choice for me right now as I have children ages 15-3 and one is autistic and non verbal and wouldn't cope with a baby around.

I am planning on taking the first pill this evening, and taking the rest tomorrow evening when my little ones are with their dad and I can camp out in my room for the night.
I am fortunate that my bedroom is downstairs next to the bathroom,
But I am absolutely terrified of the pain and bleeding, I get quite heavy painful periods and I am dreading this. I know to expect it and what to experience. Clots and waves of pain but the thought of the unknown is making me so anxious.
BPAS gave me codeine so i will take those 30 minutes before I insert the second pills vaginally tomorrow evening.
I am worried about being sick so I won't let them dissolve in my mouth I am riddled with morning sickness at the moment.
I have maxi pads and snacks readily available but I feel like I cannot relax till its done but the thought of whats to come is making me feel more sick.

Hi I had a medical abortion nearly 3 weeks ago and I was 5 and a half weeks pregnant. I like you was very scared. It really wasn’t any where near as bad as I was expecting. I started to bleed very lightly after taking the first tablet and inserted the second set of tablets vaginally 24 hours later. After about an hour I started to experience mild cramping and when I went to the loo I bled fairly heavily but no more than a heavy period. I found that a hot water bottle really helped with the cramps and I didn’t need to take it the codeine they give you. I managed with paracetamol and ibuprofen. I’m due to take the pregnancy test they give you this weekend. Only having some brown discharge now occasionally when I wipe and no pain whatsoever. Sending you virtual hugs xx

@Justcanthackit thank-you for replying! I hope your test this weekend is negative. Did you have any pregnancy symptoms at all if so how quickly did they go after the second pills?

Hi the only symptoms I had were sore breasts and sensitive nipples and they pretty much disappeared after a few days. I didn’t have any sickness or real tiredness. I really hope it’s negative too. Hope you’re ok xx

Hi, I have just recently had a medical at 8 weeks. I had to have a TMFR at 17 weeks years ago and the pain was horrific and I threw up constantly. My labour with my first son was also awful, my pain threshold is terrible and I also threw up constantly then. I then had a planned c section with my daughter. So I was absolutely terrified of this medical and I was convinced that it would be similar, painful and me throwing up throughout. However, it was absolutely fine! I was so surprised. At one point the cramps were quite uncomfortable so I used my hot water bottle and that helped a lot. I took sickness tablets, paracetamol, ibuprofen and codine. Good luck op, you will be ok 💖

How is it all going for you? Are you ok?
