Nothing has happened at all and i am worried i dont want to be pregnant please help
Brief Answer:
Repeat the dose of misoprostol under guidance of a doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Bleeding should occurs by 4-8 hours after taking the last misoprostol tablet.
If there is no bleeding after 24 hours, the kit might have failed to cause the abortion.
In such scenario, usually the misoprostol tablets are repeated after 24 hours, under the guidance of a doctor.
If even after repeating the dose, no bleeding is there, then you should consult an OBGYN specialist for ultrasound and surgical termination of pregnancy, if needed.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
