Abortion Update

[just]

I wanted to thank you all for sharing your experiences in my last post and in private messages.

I also wanted to give a quick update, as I'd searched here for posts before asking my question and there were none. I won't delete this (at least not in the near future), and so won't tag anyone.

Surprisingly I found lots of help at the abortion subreddit, and obviously can't say enough wonderful things about Planned Parenthood, and the fairly easy process afforded to me in Massachusetts.

The measurements were 5 weeks 3 days, and I'm 36.

I came back to work after the appointment and taking the mifepristone and had no effects at all. This was my original question.

Yesterday, I took the misoprostol with ibuprofen and anti-nausea. An hour later I had some pretty extreme effects - extremely bad cramping, vomiting, fever, diarrhea, etc. And I'd had very bad period pain when I was younger and was a little smug that it wouldn't be too bad. It was much worse for me. Tried to take the Tramadol, but threw it up.

Managed to sleep for an hour, took the tramadol while I wasn't nauseated and got another hour of just normal cramping before another wave of extreme pain and nausea. Managed to sleep for another couple of hours and since then, I've just had usual cramps. My bleeding hasn't been extreme but similar to a heavy period.

I'm back at work today.

Sounds like it was a bit rough, but I'm glad you're feeling better and had a good experience with PP.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I wish this was a procedure that was discussed more openly, like other medical procedures. Information should be plentiful about this safe and legal procedure.

I am glad you are feeling better and am sending you my best. ((Hugs))
