Brief Answer:
Can sometimes take as long as 15 days

Detailed Answer:
Thansks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I am sorry for the delay. Sometimes the number of questions are higher in comparision to the number of doctors online and it may take sometime for the right doctor to be allocated to you. Usually the query gets answered in an hour or two but I am sorry that you needed to wait longer.

I have gone through your query and understand your apprehension. Most often the bleeding occurs within 10 hours of taking these medicines although it may sometimes take as long as 15 days and these medicines are quite effective too. It is very hard to comment on the present status without a careful gynecological examination but I doubt if there is anything to panic. I would suggest you to visit a doctor and get her evaluated and end your apprehension.

Regards
