I recently had an attempted abortion on 4/22 at 9 weeks 5 days, only took the mifepristone but couldn't take the misoprostol. I went to a clinic 56 hours later and was informed the baby is still viable. I have mixed emotions. A part of me was hoping is not viable so I can finish off the process with the misoprostol. A part of me was happy it still has a heartbeat.
But I decided that I still wanted to end this pregnancy but I couldn't do it on my own. I scheduled for the surgical procedure out of town on 4/28.
I ended up with a miscarriage on 4/28 in the clinic's bathroom. It was a traumatic experience because I passed my fetus still encapsulated in the sac. I will spare the details. I may never know if it was because of the mifepristone or I would miscarried anyways since I'm 40 years old and at a very high chance of having a miscarriage.
I do regret taking the mifepristone and will always wonder what ifs.
I like to add that the clinic went ahead and surgically went in to remove a clot and some tissues that was still left inside of me from the ultrasound, just like the SA procedure. I was bleeding profusely and my hemoglobin level went down to 8.5. This likely had saved my life in a way. The procedure was quick and painless.
