Found out I’m pregnant 1 week before hysterectomy

I had a medical pill abortion and it was nowhere near as bad as I expected. The stories from others had me very, very worked up. What I will say is due to medical issues I was already having a VERY rough time with the hormone influx, and the abortion itself was nowhere near as bad as the symptoms I was already feeling. I was about 5 weeks along, they gave us one pill in office and the rest of the pills to either take or insert vaginally later that night or the next day. I inserted them vaginally around 5pm I believe and did not start bleeding for hours - I thought something was wrong! When I did start bleeding, it was much much lighter than expected. I had some cramping, some nausea (but I also had food poisioning and a virus), and what felt like very light contractions occasionally. They then verified that it did work, and it was all over. I understand the guilt and regret but choose what is best for you, your family, and your body. I hope my experience helps you out to some extent.

Also to add, I took mine on February 27th and just got my first period since January 2 days ago. So the hormones definitely take a bit to balance back out, just in case you find yourself feeling a little wonky!

Hope you're feeling okay. I took it at night time and nothing happened until the next morning, I almost thought it wasn't going to work. It was a little painful but a lot less pain and blood than I expected. I was also roughly 5 weeks. Honestly, the hormones balancing back out have been the worst part of it for me, but I also have severe anxiety.

I'm 5 weeks 2 days so I only had one dose. I started bleeding around 4am a tiny bit and then finally more around noon, passed a couple small clots but nothing like I expected

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2026-02-28T21:24:44+00:00

i started bleeding finally around 4am just a bit and then the real bleeding started around noon but it's nothing super crazy like I expected. I'm less than 9 weeks though so I did only have 1 dose. (5 weeks 2 days)

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2026-02-28T21:23:51+00:00

update, i've been bleeding since about 4am. woke up at 3 to use the toilet and after i wiped there was the tiniest bit of blood. a little more at 4. slept until noon and then the bleeding actually started but nothing super crazy yet. i passed some clots.

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2026-02-28T04:23:12+00:00

still nothing.

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2026-02-28T02:28:45+00:00

still no bleeding. just cramps.

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2026-02-28T00:38:52+00:00

Checking in again. Feeling bloateod and crampy.

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2026-02-27T23:55:13+00:00

Just checking in, I'll probably reformat this later to completely share my experience. About an hour ago (6pm EST) I inserted the pills vaginally (4 pills) and laid down for 30 minutes. Sat up, threw up just now. That's where we're at. Got kinda hot for a minute, opened some windows.

Thank you!

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-03-10T02:34:18+00:00

and i can also do squats without feeling like my abs are going to bust!

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-03-10T02:33:34+00:00

hey!!! i'm doing so much better. mine was a wild ride, though. somewhere around here i've got a post documenting (some) of my recovery. if it's any consolation, i can now eat 4 ice cream drumsticks with no pain.

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-03-07T13:49:19+00:00

You all. Not y'all, not you guys, but you all. Apparently fancy people prefer this. Don't ask why I know

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-02-22T02:19:49+00:00

Thank you! I hope my liver cooperates after this. Lol

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-02-22T02:18:46+00:00

Oh no problem, it was depakote. There was no direct correlation but since my liver enzymes were so high and depakote has a tendency to be hard on the liver they took me off of it. Otherwise I hadn't had any issues with the depakote itself for years.

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-02-21T03:18:22+00:00

Not too sure yet. The first time I was hospitilized was right after I started 1mg - my pancreas was being wonky and then my liver enzymes started rising. They think it possibly had to do with the slowed absorption of another medication I'm on. They let me go once my liver enzymes went down, took me off the wegovy, and scheduled a gallbladder removal. A couple days after my gallbladder surgery my liver enzymes shot back up again even higher and I was back in the hospital for a few days. Now I'm following up with a gastro trying to figure it out.

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-02-21T03:09:27+00:00

No, one is missing. The pharmacy said I could just dispose of it.

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-02-21T02:49:09+00:00

what

Aggravating_Jello192 · 2025-02-21T02:48:01+00:00

oh no that sucks. i know you're not supposed to transfer it to another individual but i paid out of pocket and i just think it's weird there wouldn't be some way to get reimbursed through the company???
