Has anyone had a medical abortion? (early option pill)?

I'm taking the pills next week, and I've heard it can be very painful. How long does it take to recover? Was your experience (or someone you know) tolerable or devastating? Any insight into your experience would be very helpful to me. Thanks. BY THE WAY, I'M AN ATHEIST AND THIS DECISION WAS VERY HARD FOR ME TO MAKE, SO DON'T GO SPEWING YOUR RELIGIOUS BIBLE CRAP.
