What does the process feel like?
Everyone’s experience with medication abortion is different. Misoprostol (the second medication used) causes cramping and bleeding, often with clots. It typically starts within 2-4 hours after taking the pills and can last 3 - 5 hours.
Bleeding may be heavier than your typical period
You may pass pregnancy tissue (white or grey in appearance)
You may experience light bleeding 1-2 weeks after, sometimes longer
This is expected and means the medication is working.
