Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

First of all, you must repeat the home pregnancy test or undergo blood test for beta-hCG to confirm pregnancy.

Without positive test result, taking Mifegest tab may NOT induce bleeding or period. It may cause ill-health effect.

On NEGATIVE test, I can suggest progesterone pill (Norethisterone) for 5 days to induce period. You will get your period within 5 to 7 days after stopping medicine.

On POSITIVE test, you have to undergo medical abortion under the guidance of local gynecologist. Taking abortion pill by yourself is NOT recommended at all.

By procedure, at first, you need to take Tab Mifepristone or Mifegest 200mg (ideally 600mg) on D1, after 48 hrs take 2 Tab Misoprostol 200mg in the morning and other 2 tabs need to insert inside vagina under supervision of gynecologist or local doctor.

You may need double dose sometimes. Soon after taking Tab Misoprostol, abdominal cramp and vaginal bleeding start within 7 days and next period may be earlier/delayed.

Post pill abortion, you must do a USG lower abdomen to check retained bits/ conceptional products if any and may need D &C to complete abortion.

Practice safe sex by using safe period/OCP/ other methods to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Be well. Good luck.
