I was given the mifegyne to swallow at 15:50 hours today and was asked to insert 4 tablets of misoprostol by 4pm. When I passed urine at approximately 19:15pm there was a tablet that passed with it on my tissue when cleaning. I re-inserted the tablet and could feel another two when I did this so pushed them up as high as possible. However, I have light cramps and diarrhoea but no bleeding yet and it's now 7 hours later. Has the abortion pill worked or do I need to go back to more inserted?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to wait for at least 24 hours after taking Misoprostol tablets. The bleeding usually occurs within 24 hours of taking the tablet. Wait for another 14 hours.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards Dr Deepti Verma
