A friend of a friend was early enough on to have the pill to terminate her pregnancy. She had the equivalent of a heavy clotted period and felt fairly weepy for a couple of days. If you have the option to do this then it is better than going through surgery which is far more traumatic mentally and physically. No judgement here.

I would never judge, but I can say that I've never had the pill, nor surgical termination. I DID however have a termination where they used like a pump hoover to remove the foetus, and while it was very distressing and emotionally hard to deal with, I had a friend who used the pill method who ended up in hospital from a hemorrhage. I would honestly say to you you must judge your circumstances (how far gone the pregnancy is, what your state of mind is, and what options are actually available to you) and take a day or to to really think what is the best option for you, every person is different, and no one persons situation can ever be the same as your own, physically or mentally. If you have a good support structure with family/friends who know the situation and can monitor you, then I'd go with the pill. But really, no matter what method you choose, the emotional side is the most difficult, at the end of the day, you have chosen to end your pregnancy, and that is the part that you most have to deal with, not the physical pain etc.
I chose a termination as I already have 6 children and put the welfare of the rest before the possible new addition, and while I still think of the "may have beens", I know that I made the right decision for my family, and that will see you through =)
My best wishes are with you.

I have done this and i actually saw the baby when it came out which was pretty traumatic but it brought home what i was actually doing and i don't think i could do it again, my friend also had it and ended up with a pretty bad infection and lots and lots of bleeding, the surgical procedure is much easier for the patient as you are asleep for it therefore don't have any pain or see anything but good luck to you whatever you decide and the people that have judged you without knowing anything about you should know better just ignore them.

Hi there
I have an abortion in April of this year and it was done using the abortion pill, im from the UK, so it depends what country you are from. Abortions over here are free and judging on how far along you are in your pregnancy depends on what proceedure will be carried out. I was only 6 weeks so it was better and easier for me to have the pill abortion. The further along you get then the more complicated an abortion is, you have either have sucktion or surgery. Personally, I dont think I coulf have went along with it if I had either of those done. The pill works over 2 days, you take one pill and then 48 hours later you take another and you are given antbiotics ect.. it is slightly painful, as you do experience contractions as tho you are going to give birth, just prepair yourself for the emotional thoughts that come afterwards. I dont the right thing, my relationship with my boyfriend has now ended, being a single mum is sooo not what I want so I am glad I had it done but afterwards I did feel guilty and emotional, thats only natural tho.
Take care and done be afraid, you'd be surprised how many people have abortions today, the day I had mine, the hospital ward was full with people having them.
Take care xxx

I was told by someone that worked in an abortion clinic that the pill is worst because you go through all that pain by yourself and chances are that all the baby isn't out of you. I've had the surgical abortion back in May and it was awful. I wanted to keep my baby but 3 different doctors told me I'd end up lossing it because there was many complications so my fiance' and I decided to go through with the abortion. I was put under and it felt weird when I woke up because I was in a room full of women who had all just got an abortion. I was sore and I was tired and most importantly I was very emotional. The only good thing about it was I didn't bleed. Let me say this to you I respect you for making your decision because this is your choice no one else's and so many people will try to make you feel less of a person because you go through with an abortion which is the same procedure they do when you miscarry only difference is a heartbeat. Well, if I were you I wouldn't use the pill. Please don't. If you must get an abortion go through with the procedure and take all the medicines they give you afterwards and go in for the check up in I believe 2 weeks. Good luck sweetheart!

I have not, but have seen patients who have. I would do the surgical option, it is a very quick and simple procedure while the abortion pill can cause cramping and bleeding over several days time, some people have a lot of nausea, etc. There is a risk that not everything is passed. The surgical option seems better for many reasons.

I don't know my friend have the pill and another had surgery, the friend that had the pill had a hard time as she didn't know what to expect ( when she was likely to bleed ) and it took her by surprise when it happened the other knew that she would bleed instantly and had already prepared herself not just mentally but physically. I really think its down to how much information you get before going through anything like this, you need to prepared both mentally and physically.
I wish you luck on whatever decision you decide. xxxx
Keep in touch.

I've taken the morning after pill about 3 times before (I don't have a lot of luck at the best of times) I was fine on it. No heavy bleeding or cramps. The first time I may have been emotional but that's cos of the situation and morals with it etc. You have to get it within 72 hours. It's not really abortion as science reckons that the baby isn't technically alive until it's heart starts beating on the 18th day. I would definety say it's less tramatic.Hope everything is ok.

I think having the pill is easier and maybe a little less traumatic.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
