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 glad you're feeling better, I'm sorry you had a rough go of it. I also want to thank you for being open and sharing, I'm sure it's helpful now and will be in the future to those who may not feel comfortable asking questions or sharing.

I am glad that you are feeling better and you are wonderful for sharing your experience. I am sure it will be helpful to someone, or may already have helped. I hope you continue to be well and recover fast.
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))
I didn't want to read and not comment. I'm glad you are feeling better today and agree it's a real asset to our community for you to share your experience.
XO. I am sorry that it left you not feeling well and I hope you are on the mend today and the worst is over. I'm happy you felt comfortable asking about and talking about your experience here and received helpful feedback.
