Looking for some advice..
sadly after a lot of confusing mixed thoughts for weeks I finally made the sad decision to terminate. This would have been our 3rd baby. I inserted the 4 tablets yesterday and started bleeding after 1 hour.. about 1 hour and a half in a big clot come away.. I didn’t have any other big clots then just this 1 I could see as (sorry tmi) the toilet was just blood and couldn’t see down. So after this one big clot the bleeding slowed down but I wasn’t sure it if was the pregnancy that passed and assumed it was the big clotting starting, that’s what I’ve seen from what others have said. So I continued and took the last tablets orally. I had minor cramps after the last tablets and the bleeding didn’t pick up. It seemed to have slowed completely from the 1 big clot that passed. Ever since I’ve had bleeding but very minor not enough to leak through. I was wondering if anyone else had this experience? I read from others that they have excruciating pain heavy heavy bleeding and was awful. I prepared for the worst but for some reason i didn’t have not even 1 pain. The fact I only had 1 big clot and the rest was small would that have been the pregnancy? I’ve been absolutely fine today I feel completely back to how I felt before I was pregnant. I’m also worried about the minor bleeding…
thankyou x

(also I would like to add before the clot passed I had pressure as if I was about to come on my period but once the clot had passed it went)

Hiya so I had the same issue, I think I was 5 weeks 3days, it took me well over 24 hours to properly start bleeding, maybe even a day and a half but all seems to be working now! Just hang tight I would say but if you’re really worried call the numbers they gave you :)

Any update?

Hello,

I had an issue. I took the medication for abortion.

I actually took Mifepristone November 1, 2023 at 8:36PM

November 2, 8:59PM I took the Misoprostol.

Yesterday November 3 around 8AM, i had one time bleeding. Small blood clots. Like literally small. Not even a blood when you are having a period. And after that nothing happened anymore. Until now, November 4, no bleeding at all. I experienced the chills first night of the meds but tolerable. No cramps at all. I was expecting more pain but nothing. No pain at all

I can’t have another baby again. I just gve birth last 20th January 2023 and had first unprotected sex last 14th of October 2023 and found out that Im pregnant again last 31st of October 2023. And I don’t know why I don’t have any bleeding anymore. The doctor told me to wait until today. I just need help and someone to talk because Im really scared. I don’t know what to do 🥹😭

I took a misoprostol only regimen and nothing has happened in two weeks. I’ve had cramps and very light bleeding since I took the pills. The advisor told me three was the maximum amount I could take and now I’m left wondering what to do next.

Hello mumsnet, am really worried and I need help. I've been married for some time now but things are really difficult for us, we just trying to settle down before kids starts coming but then I got pregnant and it was two weeks pregnancy, and then I aborted taking the medication but then I bleed for only that day I took misoprostol. Prior to that day I had my menses too for just days and it was light because I don't have enough blood in my body. And since the pregnancy was just two weeks was I supposed to bleed for a long time? I checked my BP too and it was very low, what can I do please

QueenSolis · 07/12/2023 17:25

cynthia180 · 09/01/2024 20:48

Hello mumsnet. I took the abortion pills when I found out I was 2weeks pregnant and I started bleeding after 3hours.it was light bleeding and after 2 days it became more lighter than before. Everytime I feel tired, when I try to eat any food I vomit.it's been a week since I took the pills, what does all this mean? Can we say the abortion worked...

Fmaria · 26/01/2024 14:16

Hi, I am 6 weeks pregnant and have decided to terminate it. It was a vaginal medical abortion, and the bleeding wasn't really heavy; my normal period is heavier than the abortion. A 2 clot has come out of me; it is the size of a coin, and I am not sure if it was the baby or not, but after that clot, my period has become slower i didnt experience any sevier cramps only light cramps and I only bleed for 2 days and i am now waiting for the time to take a pregnancy test.

Marialigaya · 21/03/2024 01:29

Same situation 😭 any update po, is your pregnancy continue?

Realbahamian · 20/07/2024 00:46

I had a medical abortion 2 weeks ago passed a clot nothing extremely large then the bleeding starting to get light then I was spotting. Five days ago spotting got heavier and I passed these big clot I know that was the pregnancy. Still passing clot not as big and still bleeding with cramping like a normal cycle. My provider don't seem to be concern sorry if it's tmi just told to monitor the bleeding and it should gradually ease up
