Medical abortion - can anyone share their experience?

[J94512]

Hi, I am just over 2 weeks post medical abortion & still bleeding, not a huge amount but enough. I was just 6 weeks.
pregnancy test is still positive though I can’t do the official one they send until the weekend. Hoping it’ll be negative. However I just feel off, boobs are still a bit sore, still get random waves of nausea but nothing like it was & bloated. Not sure if it’s just hormones settling down or if something else is going on. Rang the aftercare number who said it all sounded normal but hearing other peoples experiences is so helpful. When did people find bleeding stopped & a regular test turned negative?

I also feel so emotional, again no idea if it’s just hormones. We were sure of our choice not to keep the baby but I see pregnant people & feel really envious. I think also because I didn’t need a scan & had pills posted to me it feels like the whole thing never happened. My husband is supportive but he is not a talker, to him it’s done & finished & we’re moving on. It’s such a contentious taboo subject I just don’t feel confident in confiding in any of my friends or family.

It sounds strange but I just feel really lonely despite being surrounded by people.

if anyone else can resonate with how I’m feeling I’d love to hear your experiences.

I had a medical abortion back in June. It was just really bad timing with everything else that had happened.

It is not a decision that is easy to make. But my experience is as below:

I took my pills over a long weekend time. The first day I was in so much pain. Never really left the bed. I then took the next/final pill the evening on the day after. It was the worst pain I ever experienced. Thankfully I only bled for a couple of days. But the abdominal pain lasted slightly longer. I know everyone is different.

I had only told a handful of people about my abortion but it is really one of the most lonely things I have felt. To this day (exactly 5 months since) I still feel lonely about it and feel that I have noone who understands.

I have started to feel regret from doing this. I find myself looking at the week by week growth of what I would be if I hadn't done it.

But feel free to contact me directly if you do just want to vent.
