I am normally very careful and sensible when it comes to my sex life. I was on the pill and always used condoms. But when i broke up with my boyfriend i came off the pill to give my body a break. A couple of mths later I was on a nite out and got very drunk. A "friend" told my girlfriends he would walk me home to make sure i got home ok. cutting it short he stayed the night and we had unprotected sex. A mth later i realised i was pregnant. Im 22, fresh out of college and can barely support myself. I was also planning on returning to college for a postgrad.

I have always preached, saying how wrong abortion is, how it is taking an innocent life and how if we do the deed we should deal with the consequences. but once i found myself in that position my opinions changed. I knew that i couldnt bring a kid into this world with my life the way it is now, but i also couldnt face going to a clinic to have an abortion. i wouldnt go through with it so when i found women on web it provided the perfect solution.

the pills arrived within a wk. i took the 1st pill and puked it up less than an hr. i emailed asking for advice and they replied immediately. it was ok to proceed so the next day i took the 2nd set of pills. 2 at first and 4 at the 2nd dose. i felt nothing apart from severe nausea until almost 2 hrs after the 2nd dose. my advice: eat before you take the pills. you wont eat for rest of day!

i had very bad cramps that lasted bout 4 hrs, that came in waves. so i would be ok for 15min and then the pain would start again. i couldnt take painkillers as i puked them up immediately. i couldnt even keep water down for most the time.
the bleeding was heavy, a lot heavier than my period. i passed large clots maybe 6, my advice would be to walk around quite a bit because if i was sittin for half hr, when i stood back up again it seemed to flow out!

then all of a sudden i was ok. it had passed. i was bleeding heavily... little more than a period, for bout a wk after. then it started to lighten. its been 2 and half mths since i have taken the pills and i have no regrets. im still bleeding but very lightly. i have been to the doctor and i may need to get a D&C (procedure to scrape contents of uterus to remove any material left) but as the bleeding is beginning to stop and start i have decided to wait and see if it subsides itself.

in conclusion i would definately recommend this method. its safe, private and you can take it at your own convenience. its also a cheaper alternative (another reason it suited me). there is no judgement and the email is so helpful. they reply straight away. i would recommend to have somebody there, in case something goes wrong but mostly for support and the fact its very scary.
best of luck for anybody out there that is in this horrible situation. XX
