Abortion - help!

Hi all, I'm currently going through a medical abortion, I had the mifepristone tablets about a day and a half ago. I inserted the first 4 tablets of mifepristerone at 9:55 this morning, I began bleeding but only the tiniest bit, followed by a dull lower back ache, then I inserted the final 2 tablets at around 13:15. Now I have no pain at all, and no more bleeding as of yet either! Has it not worked or is there still time? If anyone has similar experiences or any advice then please let me know!

I think its just taking a while. I inserted my last 2 tablets at 1:15 and there were signs of bleeding but other than when I wipe, there hasn't been much but I am cramping

Saying that, I've just been to the toilet and I am bleeding a bit more now, pad is still clean but a lot when I wiped. I was very early, 4+5 when i took tablet one yesterday so at the moment its like my period. My first termination was worse. Sit tight, you'll be okay. Walk around the house a bit maybe.

Have things progressed now? I'm still the same, scared that it's not going to work :( hoping you're okay!

I'm bleeding more steadily now. I did ring the MSI nurse line because I found 2 tablets on the tissue but she said because it was 6 hours ago, my body absorbed what it needed to.

Maybe ring for advice?

Cramps just got a bit worse. Been to the loo and pretty sure I've just passed it.

Hope you're okay x

I have the same fear of medication won't work. My appointment is this Monday and I will be on my 6weeks mark .

I think it not working is pretty rare. It'll be fine. I had my second tablets at 1:15pm but didn't pass the pregnancy till like 11pm
