Yes I had one and it was very painful and confronting as for me at the time I wasn't 100 % for it but hubby was against having another baby and it was a case of saving family I was curling like a ball in pain and the contraction and the bleeding was alot If I have to do it again it definitely won't be the pill
I’ve had a surgical abortion i would recommend you getting a surgical one if you can xx.
I had medical and I was perfectly fine. I mentally prepared myself for it and had the pain relief available if needed. I didn't even take it. I preferred being at home with the support of my other half.
I had one around 10 months ago. I was prepared for the worst but it was over very quickly. My gyno prescribed be strong pain killers and nausea tablets and I only had to have one nausea tablet.
I took the first tablet on the Wednesday night and the next one around 4am and by 7am I had passed it with no pain and just a few trips to the toilet. I didn’t experience any cramping or pain the whole time. I spotted for a few weeks and that was it. All the best.
I also had a surgical one when I was a teenager. Now in my 30’s and I would prefer the medical one over going into a clinic and getting out to sleep etc.
I did!
I was early on tho (7wks?).
I had less then 24hrs of cramping (no worst then my worse period cramp) & then once I had passed it, I had 7 days bleeding an that was it.
I just spent the day in bed sleeping and watching movies.
Heavy bleeding, clots and pain. At the time I did mine was the right thing for me to do but yes it’s very painful. You will need at least 3 days off work. Best of luck
You do deliver it and it is painful and confronting and you do bleed a fair bit but they give you medication to help ease it and you get to do it at home which is why I decided on it and they are on call 24/7 for even the most stupidest questions. It's pretty straightforward. Everything is sent to you to read. It's an emotional time but I felt it was alot easier to deal with then going to a clinic. Took about 5 hours after I took the pills and about a week to stop bleeding completely. Then the blood test after to make sure it worked. Just remember you can call them 24/7 for anything and they will be there. ❤️
I have had one of each through the same company!
I would rather have a medical over a surgical!
Just be aware that it can happen earlier than they say, I went to work that night and it happened half way through my shift. So if possible take a few days off.
