Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When Does Withdrawal Bleeding Begin After Medical Abortion?
Am 23years old, I think am about Eight weeks pregnant but just really became sure i am. I took one tablet of cytotek and two white quinine orally. I inserted two cytotek tablets and four quinine, and it over 26 hours now and i have not noticed any bleeding. Please advise? Should i increase the doses or what, please.
1. Without an opportunity to physically examine the patient and monitor the process of termination, it is very unsafe and unethical on my part to suggest you about the dosage, so please visit your healthcare provider for further suggestions because of the following reason(s)
- Since abortion is associated with serious complications, a few even life-threatening ones, therefore I do recommend to follow up with a GYN/OBG Doctor since she will be in a better position to establish the following facts before and after the procedure:
i. Was the product of conception evacuated completely? ii. The age of the fetus [opinion of the second doctor.] iii. Whether he/she is empowered to perform MTP.
PS. Sometimes one may not experience withdrawal after taking the tablets as one may have PCOD or thyroid or hormonal issue, and, yes, pregnancy is also a possibility. So take a pregnancy test and see. If it is negative, then please consult your gynecologist regarding this.
