Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I am glad you are into the process of
medical abortion under medical guidance. I hope that the
pregnancy was confirmed by a gynecologist, it was correctly dated, and it was confirmed that it is an intrauterine pregnancy.
Also, you must have correctly understood the dosage and schedule of the drugs from the doctor.
After taking mifepristone or
misoprostol, bleeding can begin anytime within 24 to 48 hours, so please do not panic. Continue taking the medication as advised.
If you do not follow these steps, there are lethal complications such as - uncontrolled bleeding, infection,
incomplete abortion, undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy etcetera.
If after finishing the entire course, you still do not bleed after 24 hours, consult your doctor again. 2 weeks after the bleeding is over, you need a follow-up visit to confirm that abortion was complete.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aarti Abraham
