It really is your decision and choice,no matter what the reason. Basically, you will be given medication either in your mouth or vagina. you should stay home for the next couple of days cause you will be cramping pretty good, be sure to get some pain medication or ask them what you should use, it is pretty painful I have heard. You will eventually start bleeding and pass some purplish gray chunky stuff, ask the doctor if you need to save it for the lab or not. Some people dont start bleeding and may need a second dose of medication, some doctors send you home with extra with instructions on when to use it. You should be seen back in your doc in 2-4 days for an ultrasound to be sure all the tissue has passed. If yes, you are done. If no, you may need a D&C to get the rest out or they may try some medication again. Some women will have lots and lots of bleeding with the medical abortion and may need to go to hospital for a D&C in the middle of the whole thing but that is pretty uncommon. Just stay at home while you are doing it, friday is a good day to start cause of the weekend. the doc will tell you how much bleeding is too much and what you need to be concerned about. be sure you have a phone to call 911 or a ride to the hospital just in case, it probably wont come to that but it is better to be prepared than to freak out when the bleeding or pain is more than you expected. good luck,these usually go quite well
BTW, mostafa is wrong dont pay much attention there.
you have a bigger problem with that blood pressure though, at 25 years old and 2 strokes you must have some sort of underlying problem that will probably cause issues in all future pregnancies as well. I hope you are seeing a specialist at this point in time to be sure you dont have some serious illness that could complicat your ability to have a D&C if it becomes necesary. once this is taken care of, please see a specialist to help take care of you and your blood pressure and to counsel you on your risks in upcoming pregnancies. you really need to take care of this

I've never been pregnant so no but there are some great sites that you can go on to talk to otheres and read their stories.
Just google it!

I'm sorry for your loss, but maybe in a few months if you can get your blood pressure down you'll get pregnant again :)

been there. and no. but i am sure it is much more painless than the surgery.

No, I have never had one, but one of my friends has had one. She was depressed afterwards, but she had medical issues too so she couldn't have the baby. She said she it felt like she was having cramps and she bled a little like she was on her period. She also said something weird came out when she went to pee.

if your condition is like that they will terminate your pregnancy by themselves I promise u....... that what we do.
I want to let u know that as far as u describe of high blood pressure, this mean that your child is tooooo big to be aborted by drugs, they will make a delivary for you as if you are in labour with only one difference that the outcomming child will be dead.
please visit a hospital on hope to get the child alive, as much as the bother will be the same for u...........

Yes I have. I was given a medication called Mifespristone aka RU-486 in the office, then I was given another medication to take home and insert into my vagina..misoprostal, I could do that anytime after 4 hours of taking the first medication to 24 hrs ( not all doctors have the same times though). With in 30 minutes of inserting the second medication I began bleeding and cramping and probably within 3 hrs the tissue was expelled, I bled for about 2 weeks. Make sure you go to your follow up visit, its important they know for sure that all tissue was expelled. Good luck.
Oh and I was at 8 weeks pregnant when I did this.

I'm Having one atm.
I have 3 appointments.
The 1st appointment was a scan to check how far gone I was. (I was 5 weeks)
The 2nd (yesterday)- I had to go on a hospital ward where they gave me a tablet to open my womb up. Within less than a hour of taking it I was throwing up. Then 12 hours later I was/am bleeding pretty bad.
The 3rd- Is tomorrow. I know they stick a tablet up my vagina and it will enduce a misscarriage,
