Pill abortion

How bad is the cramping and how long should I miss work?

This is my first time ever going through this..

I have an appointment on Wednesday but idk how to go about this for work. I dont have enough paid sick leave hours

Should I schedule for a Friday?

I made the appointment as soon as possible but didnt think about how long I'd be out for ..

Kind advice appreciated

Thank you 😔

Literally had mine yesterday. I took the first set of pills on the Thursday morning( orally), felt very nauseous, very soft stools. I worked for 4.5hrs Thursday evening and coped with paracetamol and water. Friday night I started bleeding, worked 4hrs. Saturday at about 9am I had the other pills inserted vaginally. Within half an hour I felt pain like early period pains, I then had diarrhoea and felt very sick to the point I was heaving. I was shivering like mad for about 2-3 hours. I passed half of it by 10am. I had painkillers but they didn’t do anything. It’s very painful, comes and goes in waves like contractions. I bled through one pad within half an hour. The same again within the next half hour, I actually leaked through all my clothes and had to change. I then passed the rest whilst sat on the toilet. I couldnt see it as there was faeces and blood and toilet paper everywhere in the toilet bowl. After that the cramping slowed down and eased apart from my nausea. I used paracetamol and a Hot water bottle (HIGHLY RECOMMNED THE BOTTLE). I don’t work Saturdays so was perfect for me. Today I worked 4.5hrs and felt fine with just a slight cramp. The bleeding has just gone to like having a period. Don’t feel sick or anything. Not managed to have a poo yet though so I think I’m now constipated.

In my personal experience when I had an abortion with the pill I did it on the weeken I went on a Friday and was off Saturday and Sunday by Monday I was just bleeding like a regular period and cramping. My pain was like when your having contractions period pains but more painful I’m 0 tolerance in pain so I would call it very painful. When I passed the embryo I remember I had a pad I needed to go to the restroom felt pressure and when I pulled down my pants it was in my pad I grabbed it and flushed it. I did it because I had just met this guy and I wasn’t ready for another child I had 3 from a previous relationship so we both agreed in this.. 4 years later still with him and we now have a 5 month old...
