Mifepristone/Abortion Pill/Misoprostol

Hi all. I've had complications with my pregnancy. I told my doctor I was terrified to have the in-clinic abortion..So she suggested the pill to me. 1 pill you take infront of your doctor oral (you just swallow it), the other 4 you take buccally (in your cheek pockets you let them dissolve for 30 minutes then swallow the reminder) almost immediately I felt the symptoms of the pill

-severe cramping
-Vomiting
-Large Blood Clots
-Bleeding

I see her again on thursday to see if the procedure worked..But I'm just over here crying and upset. But there was no way around it..now scared it didnt work..what if i get sick...what if god shuns me...my body had a horrible reaction to this pregnancy.. (Will not go into detail confidential)



Has anyone had this done???this the procedure work as planned????


-Trish

Hi there hon.  I'm sorry, I know it is hard.  You made what  was the best choice for you.  Please know that you will not be shunned and most likely will go on to have a healthy pregnancy and baby in the future.  Sometimes some counseling after something like this can help.  Even had you just decided to do this for the fact that it was bad timing to have a baby---  you would not be shunned or cause harm to your ability to have another child. And you chose to do this due to pregnancy issues.  So sweetie, try not to worry that it will harm your 'karma' or chance for another baby.  It won't.  

My understanding is that the pills are very effective and that you will indeed experience bleeding and may take a bit of time to get back to a normal schedule.  Very important to use birth control during that time because you won't know when you start ovulating again.  Basically, your hormones were just given a big change up.  It takes a bit of time to normalize after that.  

I too am here any time you need anything.  Here at the forum or via pm.  peace and luck.

Hi hun :)
I can understand that this is difficult for you & I can relate to how you're feeling. I too, due to complications early on in pregnancy had to terminate when I was pregnant the first time around. I opted for the in clinic procedure & in all honesty sounds as though what you experienced was no prettier than the option I chose. All i can say is keep faith, stay strong & before you know it Thursday will arrive. There is no need to feel badly if you & your doctor discussed all possibilities & this one is what made the cut. Your personal reasons will always be both hard & easy to think about, but they are YOURS. Don't let anyone make you feel lesser about yourself. Best wishes to you & hope all goes according to your plan :)
