My husband and I are taking a long awaited vacation next week. We got married right before the start of the school year (I’m a teacher) and school ends this Friday so this is supposed to be our “honeymoon”. I will be 7.5-8.5 weeks during this trip. Rescheduling is not an option because we are also having major house projects done while we are gone that require us to be out.

Thankfully the flights are direct and short (2 hours) but I’m terrified that I’m going to be near stinky people or people with tons of cologne (major aversion right now).

As far as the trip activities, it was meant to be an urban exploration type trip but I feel like I’m not going to be able to do much except sit on benches.

How can I survive this trip, not be a total party-pooper, and still have fun?

Is there anyone who has started progesterone treatment after taking mifepristone?

I took mifepristone at 9:30 AM and instantly regretted it.

I called the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline and they put me in touch with a doctor who prescribed progesterone. I started a dosage today at 4:15 PM. There’s nothing really to back the science of this up but I feel desperate.

Has anyone else done this before? I feel so alone and regretful.

*Update 8AM the next day: I took my morning dose of progesterone as prescribed. I unfortunately think I was too late with starting it, I have had weird cramping that was different than pregnancy cramping. No spotting. Also, my other pregnancy symptoms have gone away except nausea, but I think it’s mainly from feeling sick with myself for what I did. I am going to try to see if I can get an ultrasound today to see if they can see any positive or negative signs as a result of this. It’s so hard to be seen anywhere same day, especially with this situation.

*update 9am: the earliest I can get in for an ultrasound to confirm viability is Friday (in three days) so I will have to just hope that everything is ok until then. I’ll update with any new symptoms or concerns. Thank you for your kindness in responses.

*update 8PM (35 hours post mife & still taking progesterone treatment): same physical state as this morning and now just mentally/emotionally trying to grapple with this. I hope I will be able to forgive myself eventually and be able to move forward. I deeply hope for a miracle but those should be reserved for people who didn’t do this to themselves.
