Hey. I hope I’m posting this in the right place!
I am looking for some advice for my friend. She has recently made the very difficult decision to have a medical abortion and is kind of confused about part of the process.
She said that she took the first tablet and 23 hours later she had some slight bleeding (which the nurse told her to expect) and as she was getting everything sorted to insert the other tablets, she felt a “gush” and felt a large clot come out (sorry - tmi) she went to the toilet where she felt several smaller clots come out (and blood) but she is certain (due to how it looked) that the first clot was the pregnancy.
she was hesitant taking the second lot of tablets until she spoke with the nurse in the morning. When she questioned the nurse on if to take the rest of the medication and asked why she passed clots and the pregnancy after the first tablet (as she wasn’t told this could happen) the nurse replied something like “I just say to people let it be, whatever comes out just let it come out. Take the rest of the tablets”
since this, we have both researched about it and it honestly doesn’t really seem to happen to many people at all, the first tablet is only supposed to stop the pregnancy hormone by the seems and the tablets you insert seem to cause a miscarriage.
Has anyone else passed the pregnancy after the first tablet before?
She has since completed the rest of the tablets and seems to be doing just fine but she is still left feeling confused about what happened following the first tablet.
thanks in advance 😌
