What happens when you take the abortion pill?

Abortion Pill

When you take the abortion pill, your body goes through a process that can be both physically and emotionally intense. The first pill stops the natural pregnancy hormone your body is producing. The second pill causes strong cramping and bleeding as your body works to end the pregnancy. For some women, the experience can feel similar to a miscarriage, with heavy bleeding, nausea, or diarrhea. Along with the physical side effects, many women are surprised by the emotions that follow—emotional waves of grief, shock, or even relief that later shifts into regret. Everyone’s experience is unique, but it’s important to know this isn’t just a “simple pill.” If you’re facing this decision, you deserve to have all the facts, a safe place to process your feelings, and caring people to walk alongside you through whatever you’re going through.
