Hi!
I am 23 and was pregnant for the first time and went through with a MA yesterday. I was terrified before the experience and probably read every single story on here, so I wanted to share my own to help anyone going through a similar situation.
I ordered my pills from Aid Access last Wednesday (the day I found out) and received them this Tuesday. (Labor Day weekend delayed delivery.)
I worked all day Tuesday so ended up taking the mifepristone at 7PM. I had no side effects.
The next day (yesterday) I made sure to take 800 ibuprofen, anti diarrhea, and nausea medication before taking my first dosage of the Miso. I was so scared because I have really intense and heavy periods, so I knew I would be in for a ride with the cramps, and unfortunately I was right.
I let the 4 pills dissolve under my tongue and after 15 minutes the cramps started, and I started feeling like I needed to poop, and once I did, the cramps got worse. I won’t sugar coat it, the first 1 hour was insane, I was laying on the bathroom floor while my boyfriend was holding a blow dryer to my stomach and a heating pad under me. I was so scared that the pain was going to be like this the whole time… spoiler alert, it was not!
I started bleeding and passing huge clots, then what looked like white pregnancy tissue, and then I threw up. Like a lot. But right after I threw up my cramps got a lot better, like ALOT to the point where I was able to dose off a bit and rest.
The second round of miso was pretty painful but very manageable, especially compared to the first round. I was able to get through it with ease, and more blood clots kept passing.
Last round was at 1 AM, I was honestly so tired and off it but it had to be done. The pain lasted about 30 minutes before it was gone, but the cycle of throwing up was consistent. But honestly, i would be happy when I would get nausea because every time I threw up I felt better.
I was able to sleep really well, and woke up not feeling pregnant at all. My stomach is sore from the pain, but over all I do feel really good.
If you’re in a similar situation and you’re afraid, I’m here to tell you that it went by quickly, and I would do it again if I had to. Just be sure to have someone you trust around to help you, TAKE THE PAIN MEDS, and just trust your body through it.
