How painful was your MA

[N400]

I have tablets sitting here to take but I'm worried about when to do it. Anyone taking at night time / evening? Due to childcare and the Easter weekend etc I planned on taking one tonight and the 4 tomorrow night (7pm) but not sure if that's a bad idea?
We are due to travel on Friday morning 5 hours by car to see a family member that is dying and next week I have no childcare options.

I am currently 5+4. Would love to know people experiences. They (BPAS) has given me codeine which makes me think it'll be agony.

Thank you

To be honest I didn't find it very painful at all. I was 7 weeks. I took paracetamol and ibuprofen beforehand and then alternated every 2 hours and didnt really feel much pain. I took one tablet at the clinic on the Friday and started bleeding on the Saturday morning just like a period. I remember being a bit shocked at this because I wasn't told that might happen. I then had the other 4 tablets to insert on the Sunday. It happened quite quickly after that. Within the hour. The tablets actually came back out first but the leaflet said that was OK. I hope you're alright. It's not an easy thing to go through ❤️

I was 4+3 so obviously slightly earlier than you but wasn’t at all bad in my experience. I have had far worse period cramps, every single period. It was probably an hour of mild cramps but nothing an ibuprofen didn’t shift for me. Bleeding for me was heavy for an hour, then stopped altogether for two days, then a slightly heavy/normal period (but with lots of big clots) for about 8 days. You will be okay. I did find the misoprostol upset my stomach really badly though so there is that to bear in mind as a possible side effect. I didn’t bother with the codeine at all. You’ll be fine!
