Medical Abortion complete

Hi everyone 
I was 6 weeks pregnant according to first
day of LMP which was 1/26/08, and took my
first pill Mifepristone at
plannedparenthood on thursday the 6th @
2:20pm. I felt fine and came home, read
every posts on here hoping to find a
little bit more information and
experiences other than what the doctor
told me...
Friday 7th 12:00pm
I took one pill for Nausea as the doctor
said two hours before taking Misoprosol;
then @ 2:00pm I took one Hydrocodone and
one Motrin hoping it would help to ease
the pain;
@ 2:20pm I took 2 Misoprostol orally, then
lied down on the bed with a heating pad.
shortly i started feeling like crap, so i
got up and went straight to the bathroom.
I was shaking because it was hurting
really bad and I wanted to vomit. Two
drops of blood came out, then that was it.
so I decided to go back to bed hoping that
the vicodine has kicked in, so I can just
pass out and not feeling anything. Luckly
it worked, I felt asleep for two hours not
feeling one bit of it. When I woke up @
4:20pm to take the last two tablets, there
was NO cramps or pain at all! I went to
the bathroom and passed out a lot of dark
clots. after the 2nd set of pills I really
didn't feel any pain just continued
passing out clots that were not as big as
the first ones...
now i'm just bleeding like a regular
period with small blood tissues from time
to time... I don't have any more cramps
and haven't taken any medication other
than the "DOXYCYCLINE" that the doctor
prescribed me
my question is do you all think this
medical abortion process is completed? I
have to go back for a check up two weeks
from now, but I really want to know the
answer now! please help me if you had the
same experience, because I really want to
get back on track and make up all the
school work that i have missed without
worrying about "still being pregnant??"

I really thought my medical abortion was
complete. I had all the cramping, passing
clots, and bleeding that is associated
with a medical abortion.
I went for a follow-up 1 week later and
the ultrasound showed there was still
tissue leftover. I decided do a surgical
to finish the process right away. The
doctor told me he could give me more pills
but I could not bear the thought that the
process was not complete.
In fact, another woman that was there on
the same day as me also did not have a
complete medical abortion.
I think the only way to be 100% sure that
all is well is through the ultrasound.

You ALWAYS have to have a follow up visit
to know for sure!!
Make sure you schedule one.

thank you guys for the replies!
if the sac is out already, why there are
still tissues left over?? so the bleeding
would stop if there is no more tissues
left inside, correct?

No..
Bleeding continues even if the abortion is
fully complete, most women bleed from 9-21
days after med abortion.
Surgical is a much better way to go..It is
safer and more accurate.

the reason why I didn't get Surgical
abortion was becuz I got really scared
after reading how the surgical abortion is
done at planned parenthood... even though
i knew it is way more accurate than
medical 
but I feel much more relaxed knowing that
bleeding continues even if it's fully
complete, thanks Carifairy!!!!!!

Planned parenthood is great for birth
control, BUT not abortion.
They are more 'herdy' than other clinics,
and they do not offer painless abortions
with IV sedation.
ALTHOUGH PP is well known, there are so
many 'better clinics' to choose from.
HOPEFULLY you do not have to go through it
again, but if you or someone else does, I
would say to find a better clinic.

yes i agree... PP does not offer IV
sedation for surgical abortion, I
seriously didn't know I am able to have a
painless abortion with IV sedation...
I think that's why
PP is cheaper cuz they dont offer IV
sedation

Depending on the heaviness of the IV
sedation, you are either "OUT", or you
slightly aware but painfree.
Yeah, that is why they are cheaper :/
That is why I try to openly discuss my
abortions and talk about options, because
if you have never done this before, you do
not know what is available.

how many doses should we do? after the
first does we only had very little
bleeding and little bit of clots. after 4
pills and nothing happens do we wait for
bleeding or should we go and take another
dose? how long b4 the next dose?
the pills take a long time to dissolve in
her vagina. should i have her wash inside
so it is more moist?
can i have her orgasm to help contract he
uterus? does an ES machine work to make
her uterus contract (placed on her
tummy?)
she is 5 weeks preg.
carifaiy plz help. we live in a country
where it is illigal to do this.

This is so scary that the medical does not
always work. How does surgical work, do
they cut into your skin on top of your
stomach? Is the vaccum method effective?
Do you still bleed lots after the vaccum?

NO CUTTING.
They insert a tube into your uterus and
apply a vaccum for 60-90 seconds, then you
are done.
They dilate your cervix slightly to help
the suction cannula fit through.
You are sedated during this though, and
feel very little, if anything.
You need a ride to the clinic though.
SURGICAL abortion causes WAY WAY less
bleeding than medical abortion, which
causes gushy type bleeding.

Surgical abortion is a much more effective
and painless route. It requires only
clinic visit and it's guaranteed to work
the first time.
