Hi dear...how many weeks pregnant are you? You can repeat a second vaginal dose of 800microgm of misoprostol if the foetus is not expelled by the first dose of misoprostol.. If this is not happening, or if there is excessive bleeding D&c is definitely safer and better since it ensures better removal of conception products.. Do contact your gynaecologist if your bleeding excessively or expulsion isnt occuring despite repeat dose of misoprostol. Take care.
