Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The medical termination of pregnancy is possible up to 7 weeks. After 7 weeks, surgical procedure like D&C is required. The medical termination of pregnancy includes usage of mifepristone and misoprostol tablets.
The bleeding usually starts after a few hours of taking misoprostol. The initial bleeding for 1 to 2 days will be heavy associated with clots. And the duration of bleeding might be there for a week to 10 days. Normally, the bleeding is lesser after a week.
An ultrasound needs to be done 14 days after the first dose of mifegest to check for complete abortion. But, these medicines are associated with complications like heavy bleeding, incomplete abortion, etcetera.
So, they need to be taken under strict medical supervision to avoid complications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Srilatha Myaka
