Q: medical abortion pill pain

I took the mifeprex on Wednesday and 48 hours later took the 5 misopristone which was 2/29/08 at 12:40 p.m. The cramps were pretty harsh. Anyway I have to take 5 more mispristone today at 12:40 p.m. again. I haven't read that many other people take the misopristone 2 days in a row but that's what my clinic prescribed.

What is supposed to happen today? Am I going to have the same pain again. I hardly think I can tolerate another day.

I should have chosen the surgical. Confused

Are you taking the pills by mouth??

When the pills are taken by mouth, you usually need to times with misoprostol to finish it.

YES, you will have more intense pain.

You should have chosen surgical. My clinic IV sedates all women for the procedure, so it is painless for them.

Surgical is much faster and much less painful, especially when done at the right clinic that offers IV sedation.

Medical abortion is more painful and time consuming than surgical..

The ONLY benefit is that you do it at home..

Thanks for your responses Carifairy. You are very kind to take the time to help others with this process.

The thing I am scared about the most is that it doesn't work. I have a follow-up next week.

Do you see a lot of failed medical abortions in your office? And what are their options? Surgical? Take the pills again?

Most women choose surgical, but I have only seen two failed medical abortions.

We give the woman a surgical abortion, that way she does not have to go through the medical abortion again.
