What if you don’t bleed after Misoprostol?
If you wait 4 hours and have no bleeding after misoprostol, you can take another 2 tablets misoprostol and again 3 hours later (you can continue using 2 tablets of misoprostol each 3 hours). If there is still no bleeding after a few days, you should have an ultrasound.
What if there is no bleeding after using the Misoprostol abortion pill medication?
If you experience no bleeding after waiting 4 hours from taking the misoprostol pills, you can take another 2 tablets misoprostol and again 3 hours later (you can continue using 2 tablets of misoprostol each 3 hours). If there is still no bleeding after a few days, you should have an ultrasound.
If you still do not bleed within a few days (and you are positive that you were pregnant), then you may have either an ectopic pregnancy or a continuing pregnancy and you should have an ultrasound.
When should you get medical help if, after taking Misoprostol, no bleeding occurs?
You should get medical help immediately if you experience complications such as:
- fever
- faintness
- extreme abdominal pain
You could have a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. If you have an ectopic pregnancy, the doctor will treat it. This procedure is not considered an abortion and it is necessary to save the woman’s life.
If the ultrasound shows a continuing pregnancy, you can do the medical abortion again.
