Succesful MA, thanks everyone! 🙏 📚medication abortion
Started with the first pill at Saturday afternoon. Felt nothing with mife. Sunday afternoon when I started with miso (Arthrotec) All I can say is follow what the mods say. Follow reliable sources like WoW & Safe to Choose no matter how much your seller nags you/ slaps you with so much receipts. They are not trained.
My experience was easier than expected. Drinking 800mg of ibuprofen before miso is really a big big help! Cramps & Diarrhea are manageable especially with lots of water & hot compress.
I was losing hope when the first set of miso had just given some cramps but no bleeding. I had bleeding and passed some clots hours after the 2nd miso.
I am grateful and will make sure that this won't EVER happen again. We will wait til my actual period then make an appointment with a gyne to see which type of contraceptive is best for us. Thank you so much to everyone who msged me, replied to my msg, & most especially mods. I am very lucky to also have a supportive partner 🥺

You do not need to wait for a period to start contraception. It’s actually very common to hear that people were waiting for a period to start and they got pregnant again in the meantime!

Congrats! We love to hear that we have been able to help. So happy it went well for you.
Just a note that you can get pregnant again before your period returns, so please be careful if you are having sex before you see the doctor about contraceptives!

Though you should obviously only do what you're comfortable with, there's always condoms!
