Hello,

First of all, you can undergo medical abortion max 7-9wk of gestation completely. Here, MTP Pills is to be taken in the following way but always under supervision of gynecologist to avoid unnecessary excessive vaginal bleeding.

You take Tab Mifepristone 200mg (ideally 600mg) on D1, after 48 hrs take 2 Tab Misoprostol 200mg in the morning . You may need 2 additional misoprostol tab (orally/ vaginally) in case of delaying to start bleeding.

Soon after taking Tab Misoprostol, abdominal cramp and vaginal bleeding or period start within 7 days and next period may be earlier/delayed.

Post pill abortion, do a USG lower abdomen to check retained bits/conceptional products if any and may need D &C to complete abortion.

Practice safe sex by using safe period/OCP/Em pill/other methods to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Be well & take care yourself.

Hello, thanks for using HCM,
Abortion pills are an effective way of terminating a pregnancy medically when at an early stage like yours. MTP pills are a combination of two drugs with increased success outcomes due to the combination.
After, the intake of the pills, you will have some bleeding which is not your period. It is important to monitor this bleeding because in the case the abortion is not completed, the bleeding will be abundant and you will require a uterine evacuation. Fortunately, the pregnancy is still early and the chances of complications are reduced.
Return of menses depends on how soon the increased hormones produced by the growing embryo fall to normal. It can be very quick taking as low as 3 days in early pregnancies and as long as 6 weeks in advance pregnancies.
For your case, it can take upto a month before you start having your menses back.
Best regards and hope this helps.

Hello Arul,

Thanks for posting,

Medically induced abortion is not 100% effective and so if you did not bleed or " saw your menses are they told you" within a couple of hours after taking the pills it means the oral induction has failed. This is usually due to poor dosage at the start or simply it has failed even with effective taking dosage or 4 tabs of mesoprostol and 1 tab of mifepreston.
Normally you should have started bleeding and possibly expulsion if the treatment went through. I would not advise you take any more medications without consulting the prescribing doctor.

Hope this helps
