The second medication, is then taken either immediately or up to 48 hours later. In order to empty your uterus, this medication produces cramps and bleeding. The process is somewhat similar to an early miscarriage and is comparable to having a really heavy, cramping period. Contact your physician or nurse if, within 24 hours of taking the second pill, you do not experience any bleeding.

You may receive both medications at the health center from your physician or nurse. In certain places, you can visit virtually and pick up the medications at your neighborhood drugstore or have them mailed to you. There are laws in some jurisdictions that require you to attend the health clinic separately before receiving the abortion pills.

You will receive comprehensive instructions from your physician or nurse regarding the location, timing, and method of taking the medications. Additionally, they will discuss medications to treat adverse effects, such as nausea and cramping.

How effective is the abortion pills?

The abortion medication works incredibly well. Depending on how far along your pregnancy is and how many doses of medication you take, you may need to take both First pill and Second pill:

It is effective 94–98% of the time at 13 weeks or less of pregnancy.
It is effective 94–96% of the time during 8–13 weeks of pregnancy.
The second pill is effective in approximately 98% of cases when taken in excess.

Generally speaking, combining first pill and second together is slightly more effective than taking second pill alone.

Depending on how you take the medication and how far along the pregnancy is, second pill alone can stop the pregnancy 85–95% of the time.

If the abortion pill doesn’t work, you can either have an abortion in-clinic or take more medication.

How effective is the abortion pills?

Generally speaking, a pharmaceutical abortion is permitted up to 77 days (11 weeks) following the start of your most recent menstrual cycle. You can terminate your pregnancy with an in-clinic abortion if it has been 78 days or longer from the start of your most recent menstruation.

The type of abortion you select will rely on your circumstances and personal preferences. Some people prefer pharmaceutical abortion since it eliminates the necessity for a procedure performed in a doctor’s office. You can have your medication abortion whenever it’s convenient for you, at home, or somewhere else. You can choose to get an abortion with someone you wish to be with or by yourself. Many individuals believe that pharmaceutical abortion is less intrusive and more “natural” because it resembles a miscarriage. Abortion pills are also more accessible to those who might not have access to an in-clinic abortion provider nearby.

You can choose the type of abortion that is best for you with the assistance of your doctor, nurse, or health center staff.

How does a medical abortion feel?

The majority of individuals compare pharmaceutical abortion to an early miscarriage. You may have:

a lot of stomach pain and cramps.
Severe bleeding with big clots (contact your doctor or nurse if you don’t have any bleeding 24 hours after taking the second medication.
Vomiting and an upset stomach (Medications for nausea may be prescribed by your physician or nurse.)
dizziness
diarrhea
tiredness
Chills or a low-grade fever (99–100° F) on the day you take second pill. Call your doctor or health facility immediately if you have a temperature the day after taking the second pills, as this could indicate an infection.

To help ease pain and make you more comfortable, you can:

Take pain reliever. Aspirin can exacerbate your bleeding, so avoid taking it.
Take some antiemetic medication.
Place a hot water bottle or heating pad on your abdomen.
Take a shower.
Sit on the toilet.
Have someone rub your back.
