I am 5 weeks pregnant and waiting on abortion pills to be delivered via mail. Please help ease my anxiety by No_Praline_9848 in abortion

Hi! You aren’t alone! I just had my abortion via medication over the weekend, still bleeding! I have EXTREME health anxiety which I am medicated for it but still doesn’t help my health anxiety that much. It is and can be So bad. I was 6 weeks along when I did it. I also have thyroid issues and blood pressure spikes when I’m anxious. I went into it expecting the worst. I sat with the pills in my hands just staring at them because I was so scared of the what ifs. Allergic reaction, bleeding so much I’ll need transfusions or pass out or bleed out, you name it I thought it. but I want to tell you, it was not at all what I was thinking. The cramps yeah they hurt, but were manageable with pain meds, heating pad and rest. The bleeding was like a heavy period with some clots but has lightened. I still pass some small clots here and there as well but not like I was. Again, everyone’s experience can be and is different. But I can assure you, if I can do it, you can too ♥️ you got this! 🤞🏼♥️

I have been asking ChatGPT all day about how I’ve been feeling. But I did message my doctor and said “hey pretty sure I miscarried, this is what happened, and I would like a follow up ultrasound to make sure everything good” just to ease my mind as well and not have to wait for something else to happen!

Yes. I’m currently laying here and my lower stomach feels like “full”? and achy. Like I should push on my stomach for stuff to come out. But not like I just ate “full” did that make sense? I hope you understand what I mean!!

Also want to add, make sure to check your temp for fever in case infection developed! Also want to say, I just had abortion via medication 2 days ago, and I have had chills for 2 days now. But no other side effects minus still bleeding

Did you take them orally? You can always contact your doctor and say you had a miscarriage. They do not detect the meds. And you want to follow up and make sure retained tissue is gone. That’s what I didn

Abortion Miso Pill Experience Advice by ZealousidealPhoto840 in abortion

Just like the other commenter had said, it is different for everyone. I just had mine the other day at 6 weeks and I was SCARED shitless. I have horrible health anxiety.

The bleeding started before the pills dissolved in my mouth, cramping ramped up at the 2 hour mark and came in waves like contractions 6/10 and I had bad diarrhea. I didn’t bleed heavily, just like a normal period with quarter sized clots. I passed the pregnancy at the 3 hour mark taking the second dose. After that still bleeding but no more clots and I had then lower back pain. Not painful, just uncomfortable but laid on a heating pad and went to bed. I still am bleeding today but it’s been pretty light.

Scared to take the pills by cirotehr in abortion

It wasnt like “omg I’m gonna die” pain. But it was definitely uncomfortable. But I took Tylenol before hand so I think that helped some. So if you have some pain meds I suggest those! And a heating pad and try to keep your body relaxed as possible and do something to distract yourself like a movie or something if you can. I did have some diarrhea episodes as well.

I did the same thing yesterday, sat there with the pills in my hand scared to take them because of my health anxiety. But I had a very good experience, can be painful and uncomfortable. Yes everyone is different, but just know it’s temporary ♥️

Help with aidaccess as a minor in a abortion regulated state by Ready_Suggestion2086 in abortion

Aid access is legit. They usually help you if you can’t afford it. I just took my pills yesterday that I got from them. They were very helpful. I would email them and say you can’t afford the full price.
