So a few weeks ago I found out I was pregnant (first time). I'm 24, solid relationship, but not ready for a child anytime soon. So I decided to have a medical abortion as I wanted it to be as 'natural' as it possibly could be without having to drive two hours to the nearest city to have surgery.
The doctor I went to was fantastic...really knowledgable and was great to have her. I was only 6 weeks and 3 days, so we decided to go ahead with the medical abortion.
I received the methotrexate shot, then she gave me the misoprostol tablets to take 72 hours later. I didn't really have any side-effects from the shot. I did feel sick to my stomach for the 4 days, but I had been feeling sick for the past couple of weeks.
I took the tablets 4 days later, 4 of them, and waited. Two hours went by and nothing. Then the cramps started...but they weren't too bad. They hurt just as much as a bad period day, but the tylenol 3 the doctor gave me helped. I passed a few smaller clots, but the bleeding wasn't heavy at all. The cramps stopped 4 hours later. The bleeding continued but it was light. I knew at that point nothing had probably happened. I had to repeat the process the following night with another set of 4 tablets. But I didn't have any reaction to them what-so-ever.
I had a follow up ultrasound 3 days later, and it turns out the fetus was still there.
So I was prescriped more misoprostol. I took 4 tablets that same night, and the cramps were horrible! Even more horrible than the first time I took it. I passed what appeared to be the placenta..small, grainy, off red/brown colour. I knew at that point the tablets were working. I then passed what I believed to be the fetus. I'm not sure what it looks like since I had never done this before, but it didn't look like any regular blood clots or tissue.
I took another 4 tablets the next day, and again, they had no affect. But I did continue bleeding. A week has gone by since then and I'm still bleeding pretty consistently, light-medium at times. I've passed some pretty big blood clots and tissue...pretty disgusting, but I know its expected. I'm waiting for my final ultrasound (hopefully) to confirm everything is gone.

I would recommend the process for someone if they had the time and patience to deal with it. The process for me has taken two weeks and I did need to take time off of work. But I'm glad I didn't go in for the surgery...its just not my thing. This way did feel a lot more natural and I felt more comfortable being able to complete to the process at home.
