Brief Answer:
Wait atleast 12-24 hrs to get bleeding and cramp.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for query.

It is too early to know if the pill worked. Well, in most people it takes 12 to 24 hours to develop cramps and bleeding. So I suggest you to await at least 12 to 24 hrs to get abdominal cramp and bleeding.

If pain or bleeding DOESN'T start even after 24 hrs, other 2 tabs should be inserted inside her vagina or you need to consider the next option which will be to consult a local gynecologist for Re-assessment of the case. It will be also helpful in emergency purpose.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
