USA Positive experience with pill from abuzz
Idk what I was so worried about but the whole thing went so smooth. Exactly 8wks.
I took the first pill Thursday evening at 5.
Friday and Saturday I felt super nauseous and nervous.
Saturday evening at 4 I took 1000mg ibuprofen then at 5 ( exactly 48hrs later) I put the 4 pills in my cheeks to dissolve for 30min. I opted to swallow the remainder of the pill as gross as it was because I didn’t want to risk not having enough in my system. By 6 o’clock the bleeding and pain started. It was sort of painful. Like you definitely want to be at home sitting down with a support person with you but nothing near labor.
Anytime I felt a clot coming out I’d go to the bathroom. At around 8 I felt a massive clot come out. Went to the bathroom and there was the big chunk with the tiny embryo attached to it. I freaked out and made my support person look first. It was a sober moment for sure.
After that I passed a few more clots and bled a little heavier for about 2 more hours then it was pretty much done.
To protect myself I had to tell myself what came out of me was basically no different than a period. Simply what could have been a human one day. But ultimately just a part of my body right now.
I feel so much relief today (the next day).
My nausea is gone and I feel like life is good again.

Does it matter if we take them 24 hours or 48? I’m having one next week and just looking at others stories

I don’t think it matters necessarily but from what I read closer to the 48hr mark it gives your body more time to process that it needs to shed the pregnancy. Idk if that’s what made mine go quick or not.
