What Could Cause A Bitter Taste In My Mouth Apart From Sore Breasts After Taking Misoprostol And Mifepristone Pills?
Hi, I m 22 I had a medical abortion at 4 weeks and two days with misoprostol and mifepristone pills. I bled and let out 2 sizeable clots. After a day, I had stopped bleeding and my nipples and breasts were sore. 2 weeks after I started to feel a bitter taste in my mouth. Do you think my abortion did not work?
To ensure complete expulsion of products you can do a blood test to check for beta HCG level. Alternatively, you can do a ultrasound pelvis to ensure that the uterine cavity is empty. Sore breast is common after abortion. This is due to sudden drop in estrogen level during this period. It will take a week or 2 for the body to reestablish its regular hormone balance and you will be all well then. Chalky taste is common while taking a misoprostol and it will go off in a couple of days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
