Slight bleeding after taking misoprostol

Question

Asked for Female, 28 Years

I had a medical abortion few days back. I took the mifepristone and misoprostol as directed but I didn’t feel any stomach cramp and slight bleeding for 4-5 hours. I feel nauseas and vomited couple of times but not immediately after taking the tablet. It was after 3 hours. The kit contains 1 mifepristone which I took 2days before and 4 misoprostol tablets which I took two each with 7-8 Hours apart. Is the abortion successful? If not what should I do. Is it safe to repeat the process?

So the next step after taking the abortion medication is to do an ultrasound 7 days after taking completing the medication. Doing the ultrasound will give clarity on whether the abortion was successful or not. The process should not be repeated until the ultrasound reports arrive and are examined by the gynecologist.

Next Steps

Do an ultrasound scan 7 days after completing the medication
