Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Let me explain the process of medical abortion with pills to you.
While undergoing a medical abortion, one should constantly be under medical supervision.
Let me explain why this is important.
Firstly, the pregnancy should be confirmed by a doctor , preferably with an ultrasound scan.
So it is not just enough to have a positive home pregnancy test, but it is vital to consult a gynecologist and have a pelvic ultrasound scan.
This has two purposes.
It dates the pregnancy accurately, because these abortion pills work only within a narrow frame of time.
Secondly, it confirms that the pregnancy is inside the uterus, rarely, there is a condition called ectopic pregnancy ( pregnancy outside the uterus ) which is very dangerous.
After confirming the pregnancy, tablets are taken by prescription.
Generally 1 tablet of Mifepristone is taken orally, 48 hours later 4 more tablets of Misoprostol are taken orally or inserted vaginally.
Bleeding with cramps starts in a few hours, and lasts heavily for a few days.
Spotting might continue for 15 days or more.
It is compulsory to have a follow up scan after 15 days to establish that the uterus is empty and the abortion is now complete.
Pills are more than 96 % effective in early pregnancy, however rarely there maybe complications such as - heavy bleeding, infection, failure of pills leading to surgical abortion , fainting etc.
Hence it is a must to keep a doctor in the loop throughout.
I hope this answer clarifies everything.
Please feel free to discuss further.

Hello again.
Let me clear your doubts one by one .
1. Generally pills are successful in 95 % of cases, so bleeding will begin after using the pills. If there is no bleeding for a week after taking the pills, you have to consult a gynecologist and go for surgical abortion.
2. After using these pills, generally bleeding starts within 24 - 48 hours.
3. YEs it is completely necessary to take 5 tablets ( 1 Mifepristone plus 4 tablets of Misoprostol ) - even if bleeding starts after 1 or 2 tablets, it is essential to complete the entire course to avoid incomplete results.
I hope this helped you.

Very good Morning Dr XXXXXXX thax a lot for advicing me properly just i have only one question after taking mifepristone 200mg the bleeding starts or after using misoprostol dosage my wife bleeding start?and how to take the dosage of misoprostol?
Brief Answer:
As below.
Detailed Answer:
Good morning to you too.
Bleeding can start anytime, in some women it starts after taking just the first tablet of Mifepristone.
However, in most women, it starts within 6 - 8 hours of taking the Misoprostol tablets ( first set of two tablets ).
In any case, the entire course has to be taken to ensure completion.
Misoprostol can be taken orally or vaginally.
If there is vomiting within 4 hours of intake, the dose should be repeated.
I hope this clears the picture again.
