Morning @mumof2bubba,
Glad to hear you're doing okay so far. I went through my second lot of pills yesterday morning and my experience was not half as bad as some of the stories you see online.
I took the first 4 vaginally at 9.20 along with 2 paracetamol. In hindsight, I wish I took 2 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen. I then lay down for an hour to let them dissolve and by 10.20 I basically had to run to the toilet as I had an intense feeling in my stomach and I knew that I was going to have diarrhoea. (sorry if thats TMI but just trying to be as honest as possible). I was told this is a totally normal side effect as everything in that area is all linked.
By 11am I had severe cramping, and the only place I felt comfortable was on the toilet. I began passing blood and vomiting, so probably best to have a sick bowl nearby. However as I was being sick it relieved the pain a bit. This continued in waves for about an hour and a half where I felt I couldn't leave the toilet. If I lay down this worsened the feeling.
By the time I was due to take the remaining two and my next lot of paracetamol, the pain had subsided massively. I could lie in bed comfortably and had nothing more than period pains. The bleeding afterwards is quite heavy but just ever so slightly more than a period. I was able to walk about and tidy up after the pain was at a normal level. I believe I have passed the pregnancy as it was almost a relief when the pain returned to a manageable level. I didn't see anything as the toilet was mostly filled with blood but felt something more than a regular clot come out.
I'm sorry for the TMI but wanted to be as honest with you as possible and hopefully put your mind at ease. I understand everyone's experience is different. However all i kept telling myself was 'it'll be over soon'. You will be able to do this. If you need someone to talk to you can send a PM too.
I hope everything goes well, you are stronger than you believe xxx
