Hi I have just taken a pregancy test which has come back positive. I originally took the morning after pill, which obviously has not worked but took northisterone about a week ago to prevent my period as was going away. Can what i've done cause a miscarriage?
Hello dear Understand your concern Norethisterone does not help in abortion, it is used to delayed period. For abortion you have to use MTP pill (prescription is needed) after confirming the intrauterine pregnancy of less than 9 week by USG. It is used under advice of gynecologist. Avoid home use as it cause serious complication that can not control at home. By method: 1st day: Tablet mifepristone 600 mg orally after food 3rd Day: Tablet misoprostol 800ug vaginally/orally (should be put by gynecologist). EXtra dose should be needed if no bleeding 7th day: Follow up visit 14th day: USG to confirm completeness of abortion
Post abortion advice: maintain hygiene, check for foul smells to prevent vaginal infections, analgesic, rest for 48 hour, healthy diet with iron and vitamin supplements Choose your contraception method Hope this may help you Thanks and regards Dr. Sagar
