Questions on Second Abortion pills timing

2 replies

got my pills this afternoon. i had taken my first pill an hour ago.

I know I maybe thinking too much about this but .. I can't help it.

as I am allow to take second pills (orally or insert via virginal) 24-36 hours after the first one so I think I have a big window to do so

what is the "best time" of the day to do the second pills steps? The leaflet I got suggest early in the morning, but I also read somewhere says evening or before bedtime...

anyone would like to suggest/share experiences?

thank you

I'd say early because then 3 hours later you do the last two. Then hopefully you'll be more comfortable at night when you want to sleep

Hey, I hope you're OK and feeling well.

The second pills can work any time from about 30 mins after you take them, to a few hours. So you want to take them when you're in the situation where you want to pass your pregnancy (not e.g. before travelling etc). I'd take them as early in the day as possible so you disturb your sleep as little as possible. But of course this will depend on your work, DP, family etc, so the most important thing is that you're somewhere safe and comfortable for a few hours afterwards.

(I also wrote a detailed thread about my abortion using the pill, so feel free to search my post history if you would find that helpful)
