Hello,
You will have to wait for 48 hours or the entire process to finish and Misoprost to work effectively. Only after 48hours when there is no bleeding or expulsion than only think of Dilation and curettage (D&C).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Mandavi Rai
