Hello
thank you for your query.
I am glad you are undertaking 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 intra uterine pregnancy.
Also, you should have correctly understood the dosage and schedule of the drugs from the doctor.
After taking mifepristone or misoprostol, bleeding can begin any time within 24 - 48 hours, so please do not panic.
Continue taking the medication as advised.
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 anyways need a follow up visit to confirm that abortion was complete.
Take care.
