How does a medication abortion feel?
For most people, medication abortion feels like having an early miscarriage. You might have:
lots of cramping and aches in your belly
very heavy bleeding with large clots (If you don’t have any bleeding within 24 hours after using the second medicine, misoprostol, call your nurse or doctor.)
an upset stomach and vomiting (Your doctor or nurse may give you medicine to help with nausea.)
diarrhea
dizziness
tiredness
mild fever (99-100° F) or chills on the day you take misoprostol. If you have a fever after the day you take the misoprostol pills, call your doctor or health center right away — it could be a sign that you’re getting an infection.
