I wanted to post this to help people considering this procedure who, like me, are terrified, I am 29 I found out I was pregnant on the December 2013. My boyfriend and I took our time making a decision. We both knew what we wanted to do. Eventually, when I calculated I'd be about 13 weeks, I realised I had to get things moving. I opted for a medical procedure rather than surgical. I arranged an order of the pills to Ms Ella (09152858517, fb: pinky Cytotec topix) who provided me with a Cytotec kit. I asked her various questions. When I took the first 2 pills I felt no negative side effects like others advise. No cramps, no bleeding. My boyfriend came and stayed with me during the whole time. Ms Ella text-ed me and told me what would happen from start to finish and what to expect. She was honest with me and told me the pain has been described as unbearable.Then I inserted 2 pills again into my vagina to continue the process. I was then instructed to lay on the bed for the whole procedure. Having been fortunate and never experienced too much pains, I didn't really know what to expect. For the few hour of laying in the bed, I had VERY mild cramps. I did feel like I was leaking slightly, but nothing came out. After about 1 hour 15 mins I felt like I was going to have a serious bout of diarrhea so ran to the toilet. No diarrhea - a bit of wee. By this time, it was about 9:45pm (having been taken the tablets at 5:.00pm). I was able to called Ms Ella about relatively pain free. There was the occasional sharp pain in my abdomen. For a few hours nothing had happened except I had passed blood in my wee a few times, but no clots. I was beginning to get concerned it wasn't working due to the no clots/no pain. After the last pills I stood up, and that's when it all happened. Unfortunately, I wasn't at the toilet and it's so difficult to describe, it felt like my insides were falling out - not painful - but constant slimy things falling out of me. Fortunately I had quite an absorbent sanitary pad on and I managed to make it to the toilet. This was the worst part of all. The fetus had separated from other parts (sorry I am not most technical, I never really queried it all since I have quite a weak stomach, I believe it was mostly placenta and afterbirth) and the only piece of advice I would give is NOT TO LOOK. It is clear what it is, a curled up baby with visible limbs and a dot where the eye would be.. and my heart broke. I went cold and shaky and called for my boyfriend and we immediately dialed Ms Ella's number again and informing me I had passed it all and ordered me to rest in the bed for an hour. This hour was the worst part of the whole experience. So many conflicting emotions and the image of my child will live with me forever, though I don't doubt I made the best choice, I would most certainly ensure I hadn't looked had I known this previously. I spent the hour crying, from shock and upset and guilt. My boyfriend was an amazing support so I would certainly recommend taking somebody with you rather than going through it alone. After less than 2 weeks, when my bleeding stoped I went to the clinic to have an ultrasound the O.b judged the abortion to me complete (I just told her that I had a miscarriage), she gave me an antibiotic up my bum and some antibiotics to start taking the next morning (today) and sent me on my way. Lucky that the O.b didn't question me that much. Right now, I don't know how I feel. Physically, I feel fine, if not then slightly tired. But emotionally I feel slightly numb, like I haven't really accepted it and it doesn't seem real, but it's still early and time will tell. I just wanted to share my experience, not really for the emotional side but for the physical side. I understand everybody's experience is different, but I have only ever seen horror stories with bearable pain and wanted you to know it's NOT like that for everybody.
Good luck to anybody considering this as a guide!
