Medical abortion gone wrong

Hello

has anyone undergone a medical abortion pls?
8 weeks pregnant and after a lot of heart wrenching decided my body: health cannot cope with this pregnancy, it is not a good time and I realised with my toddler I could not give each child what they deserve. My partner has been really supportive. We spoke to MSI choices and they sent the medication. Regime for me to take at home. I thought this would be the quickest (sooner the better so the foetus doesn’t develop any more) and most straight forward.
I took the mifepristone at home on Tuesday at 230 pm and was due to take the misoprostol 24 hours later. Baring in mind my morning sickness and exhaustion has been off the charts the last three weeks, perhaps my body was already weak. But the reaction I suffered from Wednesday morning was terrifying, home alone, i
lost conciousness twice
vomited every ten minutes for 12 hours
extremely dizzy lightheaded and confused
and felt like I was going to die

the GP came out to see me as I couldn’t stand up and said my god A&E NOW
j further deteriorated and an ambulance was called. I was told not to take second lot of pills and spent all night in a and e whilst T they tried to stabilise me. The vomit was biblical and rigors shakes exhaustion, they scanned me as I did have some clots coming away & the pregnancy is still viable and in the right place.
the guilt I feel, I feel so so sick still to the point I’ve not left bed for days and haven’t eaten for so long now.
it’s been suggested I need the surgical LMA procedure under General anesthetic o Wednesday.
so scared
has anyone been through similar pls? Either the reaction or the surgical option?
thankyou

This is why I didn't want to complete the termination via a pill and flushing the thing which had the potential to be a baby down the toilet.

The surgical abortion is much more tolerable, no issues really, no pain etc.

Awful you ended up in A&E. i hope you are able to conclude this situation soon x

I can confirm, surgical for me was very straightforward - remember and felt nothing and recovery time was minimal. Sending you lots of strength ❤️💐
