For Abortion "I found out I was 8 weeks pregnant after getting the worst morning sickness for a few days straight. After that, I decided having a baby wasn’t the right time for me, so I made an appointment to take the first pill, which made me vomit 30 minutes after. Not sure if it was my morning sickness or the pill. Two days later, I let the 4 pills dissolve in my mouth as instructed. About 30 minutes later, I started feeling the worst symptoms all at once. It first started with cramping that got gradually worse, vomiting, shaking, and sweating from the pain. Keep in mind I did not read anything prior, so I had not taken any pain meds until I was in horrendous pain but kept throwing them up. The cramps would come in waves and were honestly the worst cramps I have ever experienced. I don’t know what it would have been like if I had read reviews first and would have taken nausea and pain pills beforehand, but all I know is that I want to share my experience because I went in not knowing a thing."

For Abortion "I had read these reviews prior to taking these termination tablets and genuinely wasn’t too concerned. After going through the termination today, I genuinely can’t believe this is handed out to women without any medical support. I took my first tablets at 11 a.m. orally, and by 11:50 a.m. I was in absolute agony. I was faint, sweaty, and have never experienced pain like this in my life. I started releasing clots around 2 p.m. and continued to do so until about 4:30 p.m. I had a hot water bottle for the pain, which barely helped. I had been prescribed heavy painkillers and had already taken my recommended dosage within 3 hours. The pain was near unbearable, the cramp continued until around 9 p.m. I could barely walk this entire time. It’s 1 a.m. as I write this, and I'm finally free of cramping and bleeding, but not heavily. Please prepare yourself, this isn’t just like having a period. This was a traumatic experience, not the termination, but just the toll this took on my body."

For Abortion "I was 6 weeks, took the first 2 pills by mouth, then 4 in my cheeks to dissolve at 1:30 pm and was able to leave the Dr. office. I had to put 4 more pills, 2 in the bottom of each cheek at 6 pm, then again at 10 pm. By 2 pm, I started getting bad cramps, bad enough to make me cry, and I have normally very painful crampy periods, so I'm used to bad cramps, but this was worrisome. I felt extreme contractions in my belly for 10 hours. Sweating profusely but freezing cold. I could not lay, stand, or sit, I just bawled for 10 hours. I got in and out of the shower like 15 times. I threw up repeatedly. This was the worst experience of my life. I finally passed blood clots around 11 pm and the pain stopped."
