 1  Termination DO NOT TAKE THIS IF YOU HAVE A SENSITIVE BODY!!!!! I was rushed to emergency after a tight chest, couldn't breathe and pain in my mouth. Allergic reaction! I am now on hour 7 with bad but manageable cramps. When I say I was really in so much pain, it felt like labour pains. Honestly, go for surgery or not at all! Would never recommend this option to anyone. F 28 1 days

 1  Termination Extreme nausea, intense shaking, fever, excruciating pain. The most intense pain I've ever felt after taking the 4 tablets 48hrs after the 1st dose. I do not recommend this product, the pain is horrific - almost unbearable. I'm not writing this to scare people, just to warn them of the potential for pain taking this medication. I highly recommend strong pain killers, and having a support person with you. F 31 3 days

 1  Medical Abortion I took the pill in the office. The nurse had asked me several times if I was sure about it & I told her definitely. Nothing happened... the next day I took the 4 by cheek. I threw up not too long after they dissolved. I waited for a while but nothing happened so I got a warm compress, put it on my stomach, after 5 mins my lower abdomen felt heavy. I went to the bathroom where clot after clot came out. Fast forward to a month later, I was still letting out clots. Couldn't walk small distances & almost blacked out on the train. I went to the hospital where I found out that my hemoglobin was at 5 when it should've been 13. I was severely anemic. I spent 3 nights in the ER & had a blood transfusion. 2 yrs later & I still expect to see clots when I'm on my period. I wouldn't recommend this to my worse enemies F 24 1 days

 1  Terminate pregnancy It seemed to work. 5 days after taking Mifeprex, I woke up with the worst cramping and abdominal pain I had ever experienced. I called the clinic emergency number. The nurse told me additional cramping is not uncommon. I cried in pain for many hours. I knew this pain was not normal, but after talking with the nurse I thought I could suffer through it. I had some heavier bleeding, then it seemed to subside. I went on with my day. I never imagined what would happen next. I woke up at 5 am and had hemmhoraged so much blood that I went into shock and lost consciousness. After a trip to the ER, 7 bags of fluid, an overnite hospital stay, and continued bleeding for 7 weeks, I don't recommend this product. F 37 1 days

 1  end pregnancy slight brown discharge I had a medical abortion 2 years ago using this. It worked fine...very minimal cramping. I went to have another a week ago, mifeprex does absolutely nothing (or did absolutely nothing in my case). I changed my mind after I had taken it and today went to the dr to find my baby is fine, heartbeat normal, everything. The other pills you are instructed to take is what really does it all but then again I've heard it all depends on how far along you are. I am 8 weeks now. F 23 1 days

 1  3 week 4day pregnancy termination BAD IDEA! I read one comment that said people write bad experiences are just trying to scare you- I am not trying to scare anyone I just want to tell the world to go surgical vs. pill!! IT'S NOT WORTH THE PAIN! My experience- I went to clinic in Austin, ultra sound said 3 weeks 4 days, which was EXACTLY correct to the day. (By the way, all abortion clinics make you stay forever so bring a book and blanket, you won't get out of staying there for 4 to 6 hours no matter where you go.) I took the first pill. No symptoms.. 36 hours later I followed all the instructions and took 1 vicodin and 1 promythazine and waited 30 minutes. Then I took all 4 of the 2nd pill. 30 minutes later I was sitting on the toilet using the bathroom, bleeding, had a fever, threw up once, and THE WORST CRAMPS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. I found myself breathing as if I was in child labor. I was praying to God to help just stop the pain. I have a high pain tolerance, but this was not tolerable, it was beyond mental. -I WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE THIS HAD I KNOWN THE AMOUNT OF SEVERE PAIN I WOULD EXPERIENCE. (The pain was so intense, even if it was for 5 minutes of pain I wouldn't do it again.) -If you must do this, drink a lot of water before because you will sweat and vomit water during the process, and adding dehydration to this mix can't make it any better. -Massaging the uterus will help pass clots. -I HAVE A B.S. IN BUSINESS, I HAVE NEVER POSTED A REVIEW FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT MIFEPREX, TRUST ME- THIS OPTION IS NOT WORTH THE PAIN!!!!!!!! Get the surgery if anything! *one more thing- your hormones are going to be very out of balance and you will be crazy for a few days after this pill, also don't have sex after any abortion for at least two weeks because of suseptibility to infection and pregnancy.

 1  terminate 7 week pregnancy I experienced no side effects after taking Mifeprex, the "first" pill which actually stops the pregnancy. I waited the necessary minimum 24 hours before taking Misoprostol (the 4 pills that dissolve in your mouth) at 10 a.m. that started the rest of the process. The bad taste of these four pills is a walk through the park with what I experienced for the next 14 hours. I was given Vicodin for pain and Phenergen for nausea. I needed both. After a severe cramp, I usually expelled a very large clot. This went on for about 6 hours. Seven hours into the procedure I started very heavy cramping, bleeding and clotting. This did not seem normal. An hour later I experienced a gush of blood and tissue as never before. Didn't make it to the toilet in time. No fun cleaning up your own abortion while you're experiencing it. I became scared and called the nurse hotline. I described everything, she assured me that the worst is over and it will die down. I had two more "visitations" I regret my decision to do a pill abortion. I am an intelligent, professional woman. Ten years ago, I had a surgical abortion (suction) to terminate a 10 week pregnancy. Yes, the pill method does allow you privacy in that you experience the abortion at home on your own terms, but here is the crux of the matter - why suffer? Why . . . suffer? Whatever method you choose, you're still in control. In both cases, the doctors and staff at the clinics I went to were very professional, supportive, thorough, compassionate and listened well. A pill abortion involves very powerful medication. Once you start, you're own your own to make decisions that really should be made by trained medical personnel. Choosing an abortion is an intensely personal decision. Take your time before agreeing to a method. I am pro-choice. Never take your legal right to an abortion for granted. The choice? Terminate a pregnancy in 10 minutes with little to no pain, or choose (potential) hours of pain and bleeding. In my opinion, the most humane (think about this) method is a surgical abortion.

 1  termination of pregnancy too much pain, it has been 9 months how i had this procedure done, and since that time I got bacterial vaginosis that I tried to treat 5 times already and all unsuccessfully. I am sick of taking antibiotics. In spite I experienced such big pain that I wrote a letter to the Mayer about what pain women go through while taking those pills, and that hospitals don't give adequate pain killers and care (for 12 hours I did have any food or have an opportunity to use the bathroom : it was so painful that I couldn't move my body), now I got bacterial vaginosis form which it seems impossible to get rid of.. WRITE TO YOUR MAYER! MAKE A CHANGE! F 20 1 days

 1  abortion I had severe cramping. The pain was equal to child-birth contractions. I have 2 kids, I know what I am saying. I would never ever take these pills again. It is not worth it. F 41 1 times

 1   I began a horrendous infection in my uterus after takin those pills. In the end I spent a week in the hospital on 3 of the most potent anti-biotics available, as well as some heavy-duty narcotic pain killers. If I were supervised in the hospital and given anti-biotics, nothing might have happened. I have constant sharp pains in my abdomen and have been told the scar tissue left over from the infection may now keep me from becoming pregnant in the future... F 31 1 days

 3  Abortion (4 weeks) If you're taking this prescription to abort a pregnancy, Listen up! I want to share my real experience, as I was in the very same shoes you are right now. I went to a clinic that offered the abortion pill and received an ultrasound of what appeared to be a super early pregnancy. I was estimated to be between 3-4 weeks. They gave me the first pill, Mifepristone, and this was super easy. I was told not to expect any bleeding or cramping, but 24 hours later I was definitely starting to spot and cramp more so than I already had been. I went ahead and took 2 Extra Strength Tylenols and Ibuprofen, due to the misery I put myself through reading all these reviews, followed by the 4 Misopristol pills about 30 minutes later. It is to be taken 24-48 hours after the first pill. These pills are kept in your gum for roughly 30 minutes to immediately enter the bloodstream. My cramps got pretty severe after about an hour, along with heavy bleeding. I'm typing this now on hour 5 and my cramps are manageable but still pretty bad. If I could describe the feeling, it's like the worst period I have ever had. Pain meds definitely help but if I could recommend anything it is HEATING BAD & FLUIDS!!!!!!! Every single body is different so you'll react in all various ways. I know it's super scary, but it's only temporary and your body is stronger than you think. Pick F 24 2 days

 3  Unplanned pregnancy I took the pill at the clinic first parent planhood and then nothing happen the next day took the second pill. And it was hours later I was cramping and I slept a little but no blood and the next day a little cramp but no blood. Nothing happen a week later I had bad cramps from 2am - 11 am I went to the Er and they couldn't find what was wrong but finally told me I was in labor. And they had me lay on the table why they pulled out the clots and told me I had to retake the pills all over to clear everything out. Parent plannedhood in Westminster sucks they didn't do anything but tell me to wait It worked as far as got rid of it but it was suppose to clear me out to and it did not F 30 2 days

 3  Termination I went to the clinic filled out all the paperwork then had my vitals checked. Then I had my ultrasound the lady could not see the pregnancy so a vaginal ultrasound had to be done I was 4wks 6 day. I took the first pill at the clinic no problems at all I went about my as usual. The next day I took the other 4 pills vaginally with 30 minutes I experience the worst cramps in my life. I need a heating pad to help with the pain within 4 hours I was better. By the next day I was fine and went to work on that Monday. Two weeks later for my check up was postponed because I was bleeding. A week later I went back for my check up and everything was good. A month later I had a period I thought everything was back to normal. It has almost been 6 months and I had bleed everyday for 4 months straight. F 29 1 days

 3  Medical Abortion Vomiting, Sever cramping and contractions, chills, sweats, 10/10 pain I went to the sketchiest abortion clinic in the world and was given 1 pill in office and instructed to let the other 3 pills dissolve in my cheek 2 days later. Those were literally my only instructions. No pain medication. No antibiotic. Told it would be like a period. I was 5 weeks along. So on the day I was instructed to take the remaining three pills, I started bleeding slightly right before I took them, was able to take 3 of my friend's leftover vicodin (5's) and then took all three pills, let them dissolve one at a time, all were ingested within 5 minutes. Walked into my kitchen to heat up my cornbag expecting cramping, but not to the severity that they were. Within 5 minutes of standing in my kitchen, I my uterus began cramping and I rushed to my room to lay down. I got really sweaty and achey, and I rushed to the bathroom and dry heaved and vomited 8 times. Then, I experienced literally the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my entire life. I was laying on the tile floor and uncontrollably moaning and yelling and sobbing and kicking my legs and just putting my hands on the tub side because it was cold. I was dripping sweat and could feel my body going through contractions. I don't know if I took them too fast or what, but I read as much as I could online and saw nothing like what I was experiencing. After an hour of agony, I was able to get to my bed and just cry out of panic for an hour. But after that, the pain dulled to a 4/10 and really only exceeded F 20
