Hi everyone. I’m 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant and heavily struggling right now.
I’ve had emetephobia all my life. (The intense fear of nausea and vomiting). And due to my phobia i’ve never really wanted to be a mother. Me and my husband tested positive for pregnancy about two weeks ago. and were very shocked. We use protection since i can’t use birth control (it makes me super anxious and sick)
My husband told his parents about the pregnancy and everyone is very excited. I am not. I am so ill every single day. no vomiting, but just nausea of every minute of the day.. and i’m on zofran and phenegran. I ordered the abortion pills online and they will probably be to my house in a few days. I also definitely can’t tell him about me wanting to have an abortion.. i’ve brought it up but he said it’s too late since we told some peoples.. I just don’t know what to do and i’m so miserable..

Hey all.
I had an abortion last week at 5weeks 4 days with pills from Woman on web so both mife and misoprotol(800 + 400 + 400mg)The thing is I had very little cramping compared to what I read here.there were cramps but not painful enough if I compare what people write here.I did take an ibuprofen before and I went to work,I couldn’t afford to take off.The one pivotal moment that everyone talks about of that one time of severe cramping that makes you sure the pregnancy passed I didn’t get it.My worst part was painful diarrhea with cramps about 8hrs after the first miso dose.For bleeding I didn’t even fill a pad on the first day and the only clots I got were very small,like the size of a strawberry seed and mostly when I wipe,I didn’t see them on my pad.Now am still bleeding but it’s brown almost black blood and it’s very stringy with blood clots but still very small like half of a rice grain.Actually I only needed a true pad on the first day and now I could only be needing a panty liner but I still wear a pad in case something changes.Has anyone ever had a successful abortion with a scenario like this or did it fail ?

Curious if you processed with your friends/family before deciding to do it, or after. How did it go? What did you say?

I had severe painful cramps within 2 hours of taking the pills. I have then had mild cramps/nothing worse than a period since which i know is common.

But I woke up last night with quite severe cramps again for about an hour, is this a normal thing? I thought i was over the worst of it all now so it really took me by surprise to be in that much pain again.

I cant even access their website anymore. Using both concverge and globe internet provider.

I emailed them also but Im really desperate and would like to know if anybody got update re WOW delivery in Manila, Philippines

Its seems like women help women is also blocked in our country :(

it’s day 39 of my cycle. i haven’t gotten my period. i took a lot home p test a few days ago, and one today, both negative. my period has never been this late naturally, and i need to be sure as soon as possible being the stress is killing me. how do i figure this out?

hi. i’m 6 weeks pregnant. never been pregnant before. i was wondering if anyone had advice on how to decide between medical and surgical? or if people could share their personal experiences with both.

i am really sad and scared. also going through a breakup at the same time and just feel like my world is upside down.

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on Reddit. I’m 21 years old, and I recently took a pregnancy test that came back positive. I’m hoping to get some advice and guidance from this community about the easiest and most accessible way to move forward with my plan. Any helpful information or advice would mean a lot. Thank you! ❤️

I had a MA 3 weeks and 5 days ago and I’m not sure if my period is going to start or what but I’m RAVENOUS. I can’t stop eating food lol. I’m thinking it could maybe be my hormones starting to settle into place or maybe my period is starting soon but I have no other period symptoms happening really. Did anyone else experience being super hungry weeks after their abortion?

I had a SA on Saturday at exactly 7 weeks, this was my first time experiencing surgical after having a MA a few years ago. I wasn’t sedated, here’s what happened…

I was nervous about the local anaesthetic injection and how it would feel. Once I’d sat down on the chair the doctor got to work so quickly I barely had time to recognise what exactly was going on other than feeling a sharp pinch down there, nothing major. I had a doctor between my legs whilst two lovely nurses stood either side of me. I was given gas and air and was prompted to start breathing it in quickly… a couple of minutes went by and I started to feel a tugging sensation down there followed by some pretty intense contractions. The women were chatting away to me and each other as an obvious but comforting distraction. One of the nurses reached over and held my hand as I obviously looked uncomfortable and physically winched suddenly. A few more minutes past and the doctor sat up and said he was done. Overall the whole thing took under 10 minutes. I was completely aware of everything going on the whole time which was made a little less stress free by the gas and air.

I sat up and felt pretty sick so they took me to the ward and was given a cup of tea and some toast which tasted far superior to any toast I had eaten before. Not long after I went home.

It’s been 2 days now and I’ve had extremely light spotting. Unfortunately this evening I’ve been suffering with some pretty intense cramps, similar to the ones I felt during the SA. I expect I’ll probably start bleeding in the next few days but I’m told that might not be the case. The cramping right now is worse than my usual periods so hoping in the next few days things will ease off.

i recently had sex almost two months after my MA once with a condom & he pulled out the two times afterwards on his birthday with no condom just pull out reassured me both times he pulled way before he actually ejaculated which is true he had to j off a little in order to ejaculate but my period app does say i’m in day 5 of a 12 day high ovulation fertility window
i’ve already gotten my first period so i know this may be accurate i can’t take plan b im also higher in weight & i don’t want an iud i just also would hate to have another MA. i plan to start birth control next week

Hi guys so I’m recently 8 weeks pregnant and I was considering getting an in-clinic abortion and I was wondering what was the procedure like? I’m a little nervous and would love some insight.

I had an abortion in November last year and I had sex once 2 months later. Since then I've been unable. I'm not super scared of getting pregnant, I dont think that's the issue. I want to have sex again but when the opportunity comes up I end up zoning out and feel like im not ready. My boyfriend is very understanding and not rushing me at all but I feel like im stopping him from a vital part of a relationship, other people are commenting on it to him because they don't understand. I dont know if I'll ever be ready.

I dont know if there even is any advice anyone could give, but I hope so

Has anyone had an abortion around 15 weeks? What was your experience like? Painful? Was this your first? Did you tell your partner?

I'm in my early 20s and a senior in college. I found out I was pregnant about a week ago. At first they thought it was ectopic because I had an IUD and they couldn't see anything in the uterus, so I spent days scared of that and didn't really let myself think about it as a possible baby. Now my levels look good and it's most likely a normal pregnancy, and that's hitting me so much harder than I expected.
I'm going through with the abortion. I know I'm not ready and I know I won't regret it. But being a mom is honestly my biggest dream, and this time I'm at an age where it wouldn't feel crazy, so I'm grieving the "what could have been." I didn't expect to feel that and I don't really know what to do with it.
This is my second abortion. The first one was freshman year and it was really hard, mostly because I felt completely alone. My boyfriend was there physically but barely present, and I've carried resentment about that ever since. He promised this time would be different, but this weekend, when I needed him most, he was away with friends, and when I finally opened up to him about all of this he got annoyed and shut down. My sister forgets my appointments and a friend who visited didn't really help.
Right now the only things that help are my cats and comfort TV. I just want to know if anyone else has felt this: sure of your decision but still grieving, and lonely even with people around. How did you get through it? Any advice for the day of when you don't feel like you have real support?

Hello, im a 21 yo and recently found out I was pregnant. Me and my boyfriend don’t think it’s the right time to have a child and didn’t mean for me to get pregnant it really was all of a sudden. I can’t get an abortion til early November where I’ll be 11-12wk depending when I can schedule. I’m so scared because the planned parenthood that’s near me only allows light sedation. I’m scared of pain and scared that I’ll feel everything. I also have had issues with anything that makes me feel out of it every since I had a terrible episode with weed and it scarred me for life so I’m worried if I find another clinic and they can put me on anesthesia or iv fluid that I’ll feel to out of it and freak out terribly. I hate that you can’t have anyone back there with you because if I had him with me I think I would be better. I heard that it’s a short procedure from reading the stories but I’m still scared with being 11-12 weeks when you get it done. I’ve heard you can feel the tugging and cramping and again I’m scared with me not being able to get more of a sedative. Anyway gone to planned parenthood and had to choose the light sedation option? If so how did that go.

Hello all, I have a happy healthy 8 month on but I want to know has anyone out there have this experience, if so how did it go?

As the title say’s I got married in july of 2024 after being in a 1 yr relationshi. I want to say September 14th,2024 my husband showed me a red flag we broke up and on the 21st I found out I was pregnant. Now prior to that pregnancy I was pregnant by him the year before (we were only dating for 3/4 months so no second guess I aborted the baby) he wanted it but I was already a single mom of 3 (their dad has been deceased since 2022) in school and working full time. The new relationship bliss was great but I wasn’t ready for a baby. Long story short we got married the next year, and instantly the abusive traits started to show, we broke up I found out I was pregnant and thought “maybe he was just drunk that night”. We had met with his family a week before finding out I was pregnant and all the family and friends were congratulating us on the newly marriage. His intoxicated dad kept hugging me and I guess my husband didn’t like it. We had a bad fight after that led to me leaving my own home. Fast forward I find out I’m pregnant and decided to work on my marriage, of course he was apologizing and quickly called his family and friends who were also ecstatic!

We had 2 more incidents before I said no way, marriage is one thing but a baby buy someone I know I was going to divorce and have to co parent with no way. So at 15w&6 days I had abortion behind his back. I was fine the first night but the next night I woke out of my sleep to a panic attack. I mean, full blown. After the panic attack went down I tried to fall asleep and couldn’t. From that day until the end of April 2025 I had to be put on anxiety medication because I had severe insomnia, anxiety, and depression from hormone fluctuations. I was put on Ativan and doxepin 100 mg. Of course I stayed in the relationship due to the frighten episode I was in. He was there for me, but he stated pretty often. It was my fault for having the abortion.

Fast forward to May 2025 my sleep is back we’re in a good space, then June 28, 2025 I get in bed attempted to fall asleep, I could not and I told my husband “ I hope I’m not pregnant. That’s why I can’t sleep“; Sure thing I checked my period tracker and I was supposed to be coming on my period that morning. No period, took a test it was positive. The whole 10 months I had to take Seroquel in third trimester hit me hard within insomnia. I had to take 200 mg of Seroquel & 2 mg of Ativan every night.

this was not my first time going through insomnia, anxiety, and depression due to hormone fluctuations. In 2021 November I missed my appointment to continue my birth control (I wanted to stop due to new weird side effects), which I was on for three years ( depo provera) I went through withdrawals for about 3 to 4 months than my sleep came back no issue. The father of my kids was murdered a couple months later so of course I went through depression and insomnia, but I knew what that was from. The next year I met my husband, and he instantly wanted the Son, I literally had sex every day for about a year in 20 days. This is included on my menstrual cycle. I had took Plan B every two weeks prior to getting pregnant with the babyI aborted in 2024. I love my husband, but a baby is something I did not want. He was a great help to me with my three children. We are embraced him as this would be their first time with a stepdad and his first with stepchildren.

Sorry for the long post, but I just want to know has anyone ever experienced this? If so did their sleep ever return I’m 8 months pp and still have to take sleep meds. I’m feeling better, but id like to live normally without sleep meds again one day.

I’m 3 days post abortion (took mifeprex Thursday and miso on Friday) after being 6 weeks pregnant. It’s now Monday eve and I’m still bleeding but my emotions are out of wack. I am going through grief of my mom and so I’m thinking this whole thing triggered the fact I’ll be going through life events by myself. Does anyone recommend any hormone supplements that might make the next few weeks / months a bit easier ?

For ref I would maybe have kept the baby but my ex (who it was with) is not a nice person and doesn’t want a baby hence me getting the abortion. Any help welcome!!

Gente, estou super em dúvida, porque tentei 2 vezes o aborto e em nenhum delas eu tive sucesso, porque na 1 coloquei 1 vaginal e o outro tomei, eu senti uns sintomas, mas não saiu nadaa de sangue, só uma borrinha marrom, mas senti a dor de barriga, frio, dor na lombar, mas as cólicas eu não tive!
Na 2 vez eu tomei 4, 2 em baixo da língua, dissolveu, depois de 3 hrs repeti com mais 2 e eu não senti quase nada de sintomas, e mais uma vez nada de sangue, novamente, eu estou super triste e desesperada, marquei uma ultra na quarta, para ver como está, pois não posso dar continuidade com essa gestação e o país onde estou é ilegal, estou no Brasil, pelas contas estou com 5 semanas.
Alguém que ja fez e aconteceu algo parecido ou não saiu sangue tb, pode me informar algo? A maneira correta de tomar ?

Hi, I had a medical abortion at 4 weeks 5 days this was about 5 days ago. When should my pregnancy test start to lighten? They’re still so dark and my breast tenderness hasn’t went away. I’m beginning to get really nervous

Hi everyone. I’m in Illinois and took the first pill yesterday at about 7 weeks .
I (F22) found I was pregnant two weeks ago today, when I was only 5 weeks. The very next day my boyfriend (M22) took me to planned parenthood as he said this was the best decision. I was very conflicted, the day I found out I was shocked and sad and overwhelmingly emotional. I asked to take the pill home bc I knew I wanted more time to make sure this was my decision and what I wanted.

My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year, but were long distance just up until about 2 1/2 months ago . We were friends before this for about 2 years . We live together and our relationship is just ok, there’s some fundamental things we differ on in life and we both know a long term future together is iffy. but for the most part we are happy day to day.

I knew having this child with him would be difficult. We are both young, not sure about our relationship long term, lack of finances , etc.
I sat on the decision for two weeks. I want more than anything in the world to be a mother and while this is in no way how I wanted it to go, I’m so broken over the idea of “giving up” my child. His argument is that there’s so much unknown, that the child could end up “fucked up” with us as parents, struggling with money, no “happy life” for either of us. I told him I would be ok if he didn’t want to be involved, and if he wanted to focus on himself and his career for now (he wants to become a doctor but has 10 more years of edu) of course, he would always be welcome in the child’s life but I do love my boyfriend and don’t want to hold him back on his dreams. My mother offered to support me if I do keep the child. I want the baby but my boyfriend has made me so miserable. He tells me I would ruin his life, he would have to give up on his dreams, … a lot more mean and cruel stuff.

I’m so conflicted. After he yelled at me , I decided to just take the pill because I knew I wouldn’t be able to put up with him for the rest of my life if I had this child. There would be so much resentment and pain. I took the first pill last night and just went to sleep (or well attempted to) I don’t know how to feel anymore. I thought when I would take the first pill I would immediately regret it and want to throw up, but instead I feel nothing. I feel numb. I cry but I don’t even know what for. Should I take the second pill and just be done? Is there anything to even do after the first pill is taken?

Me da mucha calma saber que no solo soy yo pasando por algo asi, en agosto de este año me entere que estaba embarazada tengo 4 años con mi pareja actual, desde que me entere me asuste mucho, no queria ser mamá aun siempre trate de cuidarme con mi pareja y paso, los dos tenemos 26 años, tenemos una relación muy linda pero simplemente no me sentia lista para ser mamá me dio miedo todo, tambien que estamos en una buena situación economica, me siento mal por no querer a mi bebe, siento que no hice las cosas bien y me siento muy triste, quiero ser mamá pero me da miedo no lograrlo, mi novio deseaba mucho a ese bebe, apoyo mi decisión y ha estado conmigo a pesar de todo, siento que no lo merezco, me da miedo, que no podamos ser papás de nuevo, que esto nos marque de por vida o que nos separe, quisiera leer casos de parejas que han pasado por lo mismo y lo han superado :(

Hello! Couldn’t find the answer i needed so here i am posting:

I discover I was pregnant yesterday, my period was delayed for two weeks so I took a test around 9am and resulted positive, I freaked out. Coming back from work I got another clear blue digital and took that and another two strip tests and positive again 🫠.

Immediately after confirming I took the first dose of misoprostol I had bought for an emergency like this, the first dose was 4 pills of 200mcg each one, put it under my tongue and let it sit there for 30 minutes, after that time, I swallowed the remainings. Then I waited three hours to repeat the same dose and then another three hours for the last one. This regime is was has been recommended to me before in my home country (Mexico).

About half hour after I took the first dose I started feeling mild cramps, they kept going through the night, sometimes more intense than others, yet no bleeding. I had extreme liquid diarrhea around the time of the second and third dose and only stopped this morning around 5am.

Around 3am I noticed I had some brown discharge when I wiped down, then a couple of more times until this morning, when I wiped down and saw a big clot of grey-ish brown-ish color, it reminded me of phlegm, and under it a small tissue red clot resembling a T, I took a picture of it to try to identify if that was the embryo, idk if it’s my imagination but It kinda looks like the embryo pictures of google, not much bigger than a grain of rice (the center, where it’s lumpy)

Since then, I’ve had just mild cramps and no bleeding yet, just brown spotting.

I’ve been laying down since yesterday, idk if I should move to accelerate the bloodflow or what should I do, I still have some tablets, thinking on maybe trying a fourth dose tomorrow if the bleeding doesn’t start.

Has anybody experienced this? What I’m the most intrigued is if the clot I passed was the fetus or it’s just my imagination trying to find it a shape.

Thanks for your compassion and understanding .

Hi, Im 26 from Philippines. Im already a mother of 1 and had a C-Section last year. Just this May, I found out I was pregnant and really am sure that Im not yet ready to have another baby (me and my husband talk abt it and we decided to have an abortion) so out of curiosity, I researched but I only found a seller in the black app.I tried my luck to see if it's legit. She sent pictures and gc of transactions, so I trusted them. They sent me miso and mife, they said its the dosage for 2 months pregnancy. They told me to do heavy exercise a day or the night before the procedure. I fast for 7 hrs of that procedure because they said it is needed. After 7 hrs, I think It was successful. It was July 20th when I did that procedure. Until then, I havent had my period. So last month, I used a pregnancy test and its faint positive, So now, im really unsure if that procedure we did went successful or not because If im only 2 months pregnant right now, Im curious as to why I can feel like baby kicks in my belly huhu. Dont judge me pls, next week, Ill be able to tell coz Ill be having transvaginal ultrasound. Im just sooo worried abt my health. I read here that fasting isnt necessary for medical abortion. Help me out, what's your advice if ever???
