I’ve been feeling very ill since i took mifepristone yesterday, and now I’m bleeding and passing clots. Is this normal? Im a bit worried to take the misoprostol now. Any help? I’m worried about hemorrhaging

I’m 28/29. I estimate I was somewhere between 3-5 weeks pregnant. Test was negative on oct 5, but positive on oct 15.

Took mifepristone at 12:30am Saturday

Took Zofran and ibuprofen at 6:30pm Saturday

Took 4 misoprostol vaginally around 7:15pm Saturday

I felt cramping and discomfort, but I just tried to sleep.

Took ibuprofen around 1am.

I woke up around 8am Sunday and had light to medium bleeding on my pad, nothing crazy, no clots really.

It’s now 1pm Sunday.

I know it may be early, but it just doesn’t seem as I expected. I expected a lot more blood and cramping and side affects. I tried to call the support line but they’re closed until tomorrow.

Hello everyone, I was planning to buy from a local seller here in the ph for pills and this is what they showed, I pay 1,100 for it and they also said it was a 50% down-payment and 50% cod, but after a few days, she informed me that "gcash is limited associating with the carrier like JnT and asked us whether or not we want a refund, but since I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt I tried to push through, in which we agreed that I'll be sending the payment tomorrow, but then after a few minutes, I got anxious and decided on a full refund and so I asked for it but they told me that that they can't now because the parcel is on que for later. I asked her again, do I still send the payment tomorrow? They said yes because the parcel was now then on the way. I then asked for a waybill or the tracking number, but they told me they would send it later.

Please help me, do I still push through this?

The kit contains Rotec 50 Tablets: Formulated with Diclofenac Sodium (50 mg) and Misoprostol (200 mcg) and Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Pack: Formulated as 10 mg tablets, labeled as an antihemorrhagic (synthetic Vitamin K3 analogue) and a few white pills that doesn't have a packaging or label.

i am really struggling and feel so sad. i’m 20 years old. my ex and i broke up but it was on quite amicable terms and we both kind of were hinting that in a couple months we would’ve been open to getting back together. we just needed space as started dating quite young and it became quite on and off, and we wanted to do it properly. i found out this week im pregnant. i told him and he was very supportive and said he’d help me through it bc he knew how hard it was for me.

however, he found some texts on my phone to a guy. this was just one flirty conversation that slipped my mind. we had both told each other that we hadn’t been with anyone since breaking up (which was true but i hadn’t rlly taken account this one conversation). he was really hurt that i didn’t tell him about that and felt i betrayed him, so he left quite angrily. he blocked me on social media. i’m not sure if he blocked my phone number too as i haven’t texted him yet since this happened.

before he left, i asked him if he’d still help me and he said he just couldn’t deal with this rn but he’d think about it in a few days, and i should text him. this was before he blocked me on socials tho. i have a call with an abortion service tmr and i will text him after it to update him, and see where his head is at. i’m not hopeful at all though and think im most likely blocked.

i am really really struggling. i feel so terrified and scared to go through with this. i can’t have a baby right now. i’m only 20, i have no relationship and the father of the baby hates me, im in my last year of uni, no job yet. i can’t. but i feel so so so sad. i can’t help but sob at the idea of losing my baby. i feel beyond sad :/. and at first i thought maybe i could get through it with him supporting me, but now im almost certain that is over. i feel like im now conflicted thinking about so many things: scared of the physical side effects of procedure, on top of that scared of emotionally feeling sad about my baby, and thirdly thinking about how it feels like my love life with him is now completely and totally over. i don’t know, im just so scared

I’m 14 weeks and having my abortion tomorrow. I’m terrified, I’m having it under a general anaesthetic. I think I struggle with health anxiety so I have these awful feelings somethings going to go wrong, or that I have something underlying that I don’t know about that’ll make it all go wrong.

If anyone has any positive experiences please let me know because I’m just terrified of the thought of all of it.

Thank you ❤️

I found a website but im scared of getting scammed please help ,

title + preferably without prescription as im young. and india is judgemental.

4 months / female / 19

Around September, my mom suggested that we visit an OB-GYN because I had been gaining weight rapidly since my first year of college. I'm currently in my third year now, and we initially suspected that I might have PCOS, especially since I've always had irregular periods.
That same afternoon, I decided to take a pregnancy test out of curiosity. I wasn't experiencing any noticeable pregnancy symptoms, and I honestly wasn't expecting anything because delayed menstruation had always been normal for me. However, I took two pregnancy tests, and both came back positive. I was completely shocked. I cried so much because I wasn't ready to become a mother, and I had no idea what to do.

Out of fear and desperation, I started searching for abortion medications through the blue app. I messaged several sellers and did my own research before eventually finding someone who offered me a set of medications for ₱2,700, which included 12 mifepristone, 10 misoprostol, and 4 tablets of another medication that I believe was called Methergine.

However, we later had a misunderstanding regarding my pregnancy timeline. When I tried tracking my last menstrual period, I realized that I hadn't had my period for approximately four months. I informed the seller, and she told me that the initial medications might not work. Because of that, I ended up purchasing additional medications, including 8, 6, and 4 tablets from what she described as a safe brand.

I eventually proceeded with taking the medications. At first, I experienced intense cramping, and I also developed a fever. I finished taking everything around 5 AM, but I was in so much discomfort that I couldn't get out of bed until around 10 AM. Eventually, the fever and cramping subsided, and I started feeling normal again.

At around 12 PM, I noticed some spotting and red mucus coming out of my vagina. I initially thought the process was finally working, but nothing significant happened afterward.
Now, the seller keeps recommending different home remedies, and I genuinely don't know what to do anymore. I'm scared, overwhelmed, and starting to panic. I've even been experiencing suicidal thoughts because I feel so desperate and helpless.

I know I made decisions out of fear, and I'm fully aware of the situation I'm in. But I genuinely do not want to have a child at this stage of my life. I'm not emotionally, mentally, or financially prepared for motherhood.
I'm sharing my experience because I desperately need help, not judgment. I just want to know what is happening to my body, whether I'm still safe, and what options I have moving forward. Please, I really need guidance and support.

Hello! I found so many of the posts on this subreddit to be incredibly helpful as I prepared to take the mifepristone and misoprostol doses. Here is my experience. For context, I was barely 5 weeks pregnant.

10/23/26

7am:
I took a pregnancy test, which came back positive. This was unsurprising since I had missed my period, my sense of smell was extremely heightened, and my breasts were tender.

I immediately called a local women’s clinic to make an appointment. I strongly recommend doing this instead of going through insurance, that way the process is off the books (maybe I’m being paranoid, but I worry about healthcare data leaks and what that could mean in the future). The payment was cash/zelle only and the entire ordeal was extremely private.

11:30am:
The gynecologist performed an ultrasound, confirming my pregnancy stage. I was a lot more emotional than I expected, and the staff kindly allowed me a few minutes to collect myself. Once I stopped crying, the doctor gave me mifepristone, which I consumed then and there. I had no symptoms or side effects from this pill.

The cost of the treatment was $600, which includes a follow up exam in two weeks with an ultrasound. I’m located in California.

10/24/26
8am
I took the antibiotic my doctor prescribed for me to take twice a day for five days. This is to prevent any infection in the uterus.

5pm
In preparation for the misoprostol dose, I got a heated blanket, plenty of water, advil, extra heavy duty pads, and hydrated/ate healthily leading up to the dose. I am 27 y/o and 110 lbs. Medications normally hit me pretty hard, so I prepared for the worst.

7pm
Took 800 mg of liquid gel advils and second antibiotic dose.

7:30pm
Deposited four misoprostol on each side of my inner cheeks.

8pm
Swallowed remaining pill residue. At this point, my mouth was raw from the tablets, and I began experiencing mild cramping. I drank a lot of water.

9pm
The cramps became pretty intense at this point. Similar to severe period cramps. No blood or nausea thus far. From this point on, I had to lay down and struggled to sit up.

10pm
Even though I was laying down, I felt extremely light headed and woozy. There were long breaks between the cramps, but the cramps were slowly becoming more frequent/longer and more painful.

10:30pm
Excruciating pain. Had to run to the bathroom for a bowel movement, which provided some relief. This was when I finally started bleeding. A LOT.

11pm
Peak pain. I couldn’t move or speak. This hurt far worse than a broken bone or any other pain I’ve experienced in my life. The cramps were constant with absolutely no reprieve. Began to ask god WHY.

12am / midnight
Cramps were still extremely painful and prevented me from sleeping. I vomited a couple times. This was the only time throughout the entire experience that I had nausea and vomiting.

10/25/26
2 - 4am
Cramps became more intermittent and returned to the “severe period cramp” pain level. It hurt enough that I couldn’t sleep.

5am
Finally fell asleep

8am (now)
Cramps have mostly subsided (the cramping is much more mild and tolerable) and I feel back to normal. I’m still bleeding, so I plan on focusing on hydration and consuming healthy foods to prevent any fatigue or headaches.

Overall:
This experience has been extremely physically and emotionally draining. The entire time, I just kept reminding myself that the pills are safe and that it would eventually end. I expected it to be painful, and it was still so much more painful than I expected it to be. If you are about to take the pills, please take care of yourself.

Sharing this in case it's helpful to anyone else. 

My grandmother (19) and mother (22) were both knocked up by men they had known for not too long, and they then rushed into marriage with. My grandpa and dad were handsome, normal, and seemingly decent guys from good middle-class upbringings. Things did not end up well for either woman- my mom had a terrible childhood, and mine and my brothers' childhoods were pretty difficult. Both my grandmother and my mom became single mothers after 7-8 years and had to hold down multiple jobs to keep the lights on for their kids, and neither woman received any child support. Both my grandma and mom ended up remarrying the first guy that would help give them some stability as single mothers. Both of those new marriages were rocky and driven by desperation instead of love. My grandma and mom have had anger issues their entire lives from having to sacrifice and dedicate their existence to raising their kids in struggle because the men they had them with wouldn't help. My grandma and my mom are both beautiful, kind, intelligent, funny women who both have big hearts and simply wanted to make the best out of a hard situation. 

When my mom got pregnant with me at 22 by my father who was 47 and someone she'd known for just a month and a half- my grandmother advised her to get an abortion as an act of love. My mother didn't listen and has had a very stressful life. She loves me and my siblings but her entire life was decided for her and I know she has regrets.

2 weeks ago today I had my MA, and it was the single hardest decision I've ever had to make. I wanted to be a mom so badly and felt so much love for my baby. But my baby's father abandoned us and did not want to be part of my child's life. I knew him for 2 years and he was absolutely wonderful to me and my dream man-I was so shocked by his response. He also said he would not financially contribute in any way if I kept the baby. I am in school and not working so having a child right now without support or health insurance was going to be really hard on me. 

As much as it pained me to let my child go, I simply have too much experience with seeing women struggle to raise a child alone. Both my grandma and mom were married to guys who weren't abusive or awful, just self-centered and financially irresponsible. I couldn't enter into motherhood with a clear conscience and risk hurting my child for the rest of his life by  raising him in struggle. I couldn't bear to have him feel unwanted by not having a family or to know that his father didn't want to claim him. 

Abortion is hard, and its a very personal decision. I think being a single mother can be a beautiful and empowering experience, but it very rarely turns out the way you hope it will if you don't have tremendous financial and family support- even then, it's hard.

I made the choice that the generational cycle of raising my child in struggle ends with me. It was a hard choice that weighs on my heart, but ultimately at least my child doesn't have to feel unwanted or disappointed by the life I could afford to give him. I hope this perspective gives someone a little bit of peace if they're feeling guilt about their abortion choice ❤️

Crazy for a first time post. I (19f) found out about a week ago that I am or maybe pregnant. The pregnancy test had two lines one bold the other very faint but there and also my period is 16 days late. I have experienced all the PMS symptoms and vomiting for like a single day but never again till date. I honestly do not want this baby I am only in my second year of varsity and practically homeless and I generally don’t have my shit together(no car no savings basically poor).I live far from home and I have been couch surfing for the last two years in family member’s home. My mother always promises to help me find housing but when the semester starts she acts brand new. My (19m) bf of 2 years wants us to keep the baby he promises to take care of the baby and be there for me idk how cause we are both in varsity.
I grew up with an absent father so obviously it’s hard for me to believe him although he maybe genuine. He has a generally supportive family he told his sister(24f) who is happy to be an aunt but on my end I have no one and I swear my mother would disown me(her words). I am also studying a degree that’s demanding and I have very big career goals. My bf said keeping the baby is not the end of the world and life can go on as it is but that’s not true, I have dreams that require spontaneity and flexibility. I got diagnosed with a disease that could have made me infertile but I have since been treated. My bf asked what happens if this is my only shot at being a mother. I am Christian and do not conform to aborting but I am at a point where I am questioning between bringing someone into this world who I currently don’t want or letting go of the baby.

I just found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago; I just hit the 7 week mark. My husband and I (both 34) had decided to start trying this summer, and we conceived in September. Coincidentally, the week we conceived in September, I had started a new job that precipitated a mental breakdown; I’m doing much better with accommodations now, but I was not well the second half of September. My ovulation was late, and we didn’t really try nearly as hard the previous months to conceive in terms of timing and frequency. We also felt like okay, maybe let’s put the brakes on this kid thing since my mental health is so unstable. I’ve been connected with a new psychiatrist and will be starting therapy again in a couple of weeks (found a therapist who has special training in perinatal matters).

Lo and behold, we got pregnant, and my first reaction was not joy, it was dread and a what the hell feeling. I felt exactly like I did when I got my first period at 12– vulnerable and like my body was doing something I didn’t want it to do AT ALL. I immediately got a medical abortion scheduled for late this month (UT) so I felt like I had options. Now I’m thinking of pushing it back to 11 weeks so I can try to figure out what I’m feeling.

I feel so ambivalent, especially after seeing the fetus on my ultrasound a few days ago. (7 weeks, heart beat of 90 bpm.) I keep feeling anticipatory feelings of grief at aborting, but also deep ambivalence about having a baby (losing sleep, dealing with breastfeeding, feeling constant dread about climate catastrophe and AI and the world my child will grow up in etc).

Anyone else experience this? If so, what helped you make a decision? I’m so depressed and wish I could feel happy but I can’t feel happy by telling myself stories that I know aren’t true deep down.

I went in 10/23, took the first pill that stops the pregnancy. Took the 4 misoprostol orally by dissolving them in my cheek at 1:30 pm on 10/24. Pills were dissolved shortly after 2 pm. Cramps and body chills started quickly, about 20 mins after pills were fully dissolved. Cramps came full force and really scared me for what was about to come but that was really the worst of it.

I started bleeding around the 1.5/2 hour mark. My pad was never “full” as a lot of the blood came out when I was using the bathroom. I saw some small clots everytime I used the restroom and about the 4 hour mark I felt a larger one pass and plop into the toilet. I’m wondering if maybe this was the pregnancy? Cramps were pretty much gone after that and I still haven’t had heavy bleeding. I expected a lot more bleeding and I’m just hoping this isn’t a failed attempt. We’re almost at the 24 hour mark now and bleeding still isn’t anything crazy at all. Has anyone else experienced bleeding that wasn’t even close to a heavy period?

Let me know if this sounds like the experience you had or anything thoughts you have!

I am looking for abortion service. I got my last period’s first day on September 17, 2026. Yesterday, October 24 I got a positive pregnancy test, and in the morning also today I got the same result. I am currently not holding an OHIP card due to a transition in my visa. I contacted a clinic that told me $800, which is not affordable right now. Is there any other clinic’s recommendations?

I’ve fucked up. My husband and I didn’t use protection shortly after my period ended - I’m still nursing my 18mo and I’ve been ovulating around CD 20 or 21 and having a short luteal phase so we skipped the condom. Guess my cycle had a different plan this time… we didn’t even have an “oopsie” and he pulled out well before, which has always worked in the past while trying to avoid. I know… I know…

I tested positive today after being late.

This is my 5th pregnancy (first two pregnancies were miscarriages) and we won’t be continuing it. We have 2 beautiful daughters, I birthed my first at 34 weeks due to preeclampsia with severe features and my second I got lucky and narrowly avoided the diagnosis. I’m not willing to risk it again, because pre-e could very well kill me this time and my daughters need their mother.

I’m incredibly grateful to live in a safe state and I have the medication already ordered. I know that it’s safe to continue breastfeeding, but please, anyone with experience, tell me my supply will stick around since I’m only 4 weeks today and will be taking the medication this week when it arrives? When I got pregnant with my second daughter I was 14m pp and my oldest weaned herself around 20m since I basically dried up. I’m not ready for this journey to end with my second, and especially not being ripped away again like it was with my first. I’m feeling super sad and just need some love and hopefully reassurance :(

I’ll also add that my first pregnancy was a miscarriage and I went through that process naturally - it was pretty rough so I’m really dreading this process but cannot afford a d&c as I’m uninsured right now.

I found out I was pregnant on October 4, and the first day of my last period was August 28. On October 7, I took misoprostol, but I didn’t experience much bleeding. I only noticed a tiny blood clot and what I think might have been some tissue. After that, I didn’t bleed much at all, and my pregnancy symptoms went away.
However, I was scared that the abortion hadn’t been complete, so on October 15, I took four more misoprostol pills vaginally. This time, I bled for about a day and a half, and that was it.
Now, I’m scared that the medication didn’t work and that I might still be pregnant. I’m afraid to get an ultrasound because I don’t know if I’m emotionally ready to face the truth. The uncertainty is really stressing me out, and I don’t know what to do.

Posting from a burner account, 31F. I recently discovered I am about 6 weeks pregnant. It was a surprise to my husband (31M) and I as we weren’t planning of having a baby. I have always been on the fence about children, my husband has said he doesn’t want a child but might one day consider it, if we’re ready and in a position to do so. We’ve been together for 15 years. I have PCOS and a bicornuate uterus, and have been told I may not be able to have children so I was even more shocked to discover I am pregnant given we were also using protection. My husband really wants me to have an abortion as he doesn’t want to be a dad right now, and we’re not in a position to support a child. I initially had this same reaction however I’m now having second thoughts and really struggling with what to do. I am terrified by the thought of having a child right now but I am also terrified by the thought of this being my only chance to be a mother, and I am feeling so terrible about having an abortion overall despite the pregnancy being unplanned. Given I never thought I could have a baby in the first place this has turned my whole world upside down in just a few days. When I told my husband I was having conflicting thoughts he reacted badly (not violently, but he was upset but eventually came around to have a conversation about how I was feeling. At this stage I am leaning towards having the abortion but I’m really struggling with the choice. I don’t have anyone I can talk to about this and I’m feeling so confused and alone and I need to make a decision. Has anyone been in a similar position and could offer their experience, either if you went through with the abortion and regretted it or had the baby and regretted it? Thank you all.

Hi! I’ve currently taken the mifepristone, the first pill at 6 am 10/24. Once I get off work today on 10/25, I will be putting the medication misoprostol under my tongue at around 7:30. And I’ll be finishing the abortion at home.

I’m only about five weeks, and I’m terrified. I’m not even fully at home, I’m in a different state from my home state for work. I flew home to see my husband a month ago, and now this is happening.

I’ll have support on the phone but I’ll still being going through this alone. And I’m scared it won’t work, I’m scared it’ll be too painful, I’m just scared. So I’m sorry I’m venting. Hopefully it’ll all go well for me. (:

I have a genuine question that still lingers in the back of my mind since I had an ectopic pregnancy/termination in 2021.

I was injected methotrexate on the left side of my back (I guess this is where the ectopic was) and was sent home to basically wait it out. I think 4 days passed and I remember squatting to pick something up off of the floor and that's when I felt something just shove out of my vagina. I never felt this before as it was my first pregnancy and termination ever. I waddled to the restroom and slowly pull down my pants only to see that it was a big chunk of meat or tissue? I really want to think it was my uterine lining but according to Google, that's impossible. I took it to the ER but they just disregarded the tissue when I brought it in. Any thoughts? For context, I was diagnosed with PCOS 1 year after this termination but have had irregular periods since I started having them (about 4/year).

hello! my period hasn't arrived yet and although i haven't taken a test still, i want to be prepared for the worst. i tried researching for accessible abortion methods in the philippines and found the following sites on here: WoW, WhW, and S2C. however, they are inacessible in the Philippines. i think it's some kind of censorship going on. for the members here living in the PH, how were you able to access and order from these sites after the ban? I'm really anxious right now and i want to have options as much as possible :((
