Medical Abortion :: Abdominal Pain - Dr. Said 2 Weeks Recovery
Jan 23, 2015
I had a surgical abortion I was 11 weeks. I had it done jan 14. I then had some abdominal pain so I went to my set he next Monday . The pain has gone away since but then wednesday jan 21 had a ultrasound and my dr says there is either blood or tissue try couldn't tell. The abortion dr said it takes two weeks to pass all. I'm kind of scared my dr referred me to a gyn but they haven't called. If it's blood won't it pass? I was only 1 week post. Or should it all be gone . No fever or cramps any longer . It's Friday and I am a very anxious person what do you think? I am 36 mother of 4. I'm scared.

On February 17th I had an appointment for the medical abortion procedure. They gave me an ultrasound and concluded that I was 8 weeks and 3 days, so I qualified for the non-invasive option. They supplied me with a pill there, 2 pills for 24 hrs later and also prescription strength ibuprofen. Things went as they did, and presumably well, at that...considering. I started bleeding within 4 hrs of taking the second set of meds... At first heavy, then tapered down. I was at most spotting after the first 2 days, and that lasted for about 10 days. I concluded myself that this was successful and the symptoms of pregnancy seemed to disappear shortly after.
This morning I called the clinic because I was concerned with not having my period arrive. It had been at least 9 weeks since the pills had been taken and I wasn't entirely clear on how long it would take due to everyone's body being different. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. They had me come in today in a rush, concerned that either it failed or I was pregnant with a second. I received another ultrasound and it surely came back as a failed medical abortion. I am now 17 weeks and a couple odd days. The technician seemed amazed and perplexed, as I am just an emotional mess... Contemplating all options from this point on. She said that I would be putting myself in danger if I decided to continue with the pregnancy. She also stated that it would not be fair to the child due to possible birth defects, etc. She has arranged for me to have the invasive surgery in 2 days to remove the baby and I am scared more than ever.

I had a medical abortion about 3 weeks ago. Last week (two weeks after the abortion) i took a pregnancy test which was negative meaning that everything went how it should have.
Also last week, my boyfriend and I 'had sex'. I wouldn't really call it having sex as he only went inside of me for about a minute (no ejaculation inside of me) two times we've done it, and used a condom and the ejaculation took place outside of my vagina the third time (no, it wasn't all in one day just in case that matters).
Today, about a week after our first intercourse since i had the abortion, my nipples hirt a little when touched. My question is, what are the chances that I'm pregnant again?

Can anyone please help me with my case? Im 5 weeks pregnant now. Me and my husband decided to abort the baby so we bought cytotec from the black market. Since abortion is illegal where we are that's the only way to obtain it. I took 4 tablets and then another 4 tablets after 3 hours both orally on the first day. Nothing happens. Then the next day i took 4 tablets again orally and 2 tablets vaginally. Still nothing happens after 6 hours so i took 3 orally again and 1 vaginally the same day. But after all that i didn't feel any cramping, pain or heavy bleeding. I only had light bleeding but its so light it looks like just a tinge of blood in the water. I don't know what to do now. Was there a possibility the cytotec we got was fake or the cytotec just takes a long time to take effect?

I am an active female in my mid 30's and I just wasn't ready to have a baby yet. My boyfriend and I decided together that the right choice was to terminate. Psychologically and emotionally I felt content with this decision and mostly did not have feelings of regret or sadness. I think everyone reacts differently so check in with yourself and talk it through with people you love to make sure you are making the right choice for you.
Day 1: I made an appointment with PP and decided a medical abortion for my 7 week pregnancy seemed easier and more convenient, as i could do it on my day off, and it would not be so invasive. I was warned about the mild to moderate contractions and complications arising from taking the second set of pills. At the clinic I took the ru486 pill, 200 mg of mifepristone. My pregnancy to this point was very difficult, I had severe nausea and lack of appetite and lost 6 lbs in the 3 weeks since implantation. They checked my iron count and it was 13 which was normal and healthy to proceed with medical abortion. After the mifepristone, i felt "funny", just off, like something was wrong. I felt dizzy for the first few hours.
Day 2: Exactly 25 hours after the mifepristone, i took 4 pills of misoprostol (880mg), the prostaglandin that would start the contractions. I let the pills dissolve with some candy next to my cheeks. The 800mg is double the amount recommended by the FDA but i was not aware of this until I did some fact-checking on PP. They prescribe a higher amount due to some in absorption due to throwing up the pills, and to guarantee the medical dosage is high enough to prevent partial or incomplete miscarriage. I did throw up 45 minutes after the pills went into my mouth, so I hoped I got the medicine I needed. I tried taking analgesics but also threw those up soon after, so i had no choice but to endure the pain.
Pain: Worst pain ever. No joke, no exaggeration. Awful, terrible, no quitting, terror. I don't want to scare everyone here, but this was my experience. Some women only experience mild cramping, mine was severe. It vacillated from a 6 on the pain scale to an 8.5, never going down below a 4. This was without a break, started 45 minutes after the pills and increased to a crescendo 2 hours in. I couldn't walk or talk. Just whimper and lay next to the toilet. Taking turns throwing up, diarrhea, and just writhing in pain. My boyfriend was at a loss of how to help me. All I could think of is will this ever end? Please just stop so I can breathe for 3 seconds! I had no energy to cry, just try to curl up and hope this will go away. I couldn't hold down the vicodin for longer than 15 minutes so I hardly got any relief from that. I was not really bleeding at all either so all the cramping felt meaningless.
Relief: Brilliant nurse of a boyfriend chopped up some oxycodone, about 3 mg for me to snort. Yes snort up my nose with a straw. I don't condone snorting any drugs for any reason, but if you can't hold down any pain killers in your stomach, you can inject them in a hospital, but i did not have this option. I couldn't even lift my head up enough to look at it, but he insisted that it should help, if nothing else could. Finally i breathed it in and in SECONDS ALL PAIN WAS GONE!!! I got up, smiled and watched movies the rest of the night while the pregnancy passed painlessly in my pad a few hours later. I was instantly able to hold down food and took Vicodin 1 hour after the oxy to continue with pain relief. My pain went from a 9 to a 0 in seconds.
I don't know how anyone could have handled that level of cramps and pain for 6 hours without relief. They should warm you at PP how to deal with pain if you can't hold down meds. I would hate for any other woman to go through this ordeal without this information. Thank god i have a nurse boyfriend who knows oxy can be snorted. (Vicodin and other pain meds CANNOT be snorted) It is not ideal to snort tylenol with the oxy but that's how it comes, so be careful. Drink lots of water. Watch your body, do not overdose with oxy! 3 mg was enough for me, the oxy comes in 5, 10, up to 40 mg pills so know the dosage.
Please do not give your opinions here on drug use and abuse. This isn't drug abuse, its acute pain management in a dire situation and we do what we must. I do not condone oxycodone use for anything other than pain management, generally only severe.
Hope this info helps some woman out there.
My medical abortion was successful with very light bleeding the 3rd and 4th days like a light period. I would be hesitant to do it again. That was pretty hardcore pain and cramping. Not mild-moderate like they said. I am having an IUC installed in a week to make sure I never have to go through this again.

I had a medical abortion about 24 days ago today, they said my baby wouldn't survive with the condition he had and that I had to make a decision. It wasn't easy but I did. The consultant said that he wouldn't make half term and then I would have to give normal birth to a stillborn baby! Why do I feel so guilty for what I have done?
My husband and I have been having intercourse and I am not exactly sure when my cycle will return. I so wish the situation was happy and normal. Can anyone give me some feedback on how your cycle works after this situation.
