Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Medical termination of pregnancy required expert guidance of gynecologist. Never use abortion pill (medical prescription is needed) at home by yourself without proper guidance and supervision of gynecologist as it causes uncontrollable complication that required surgery. Bleeding and abdominal cramp start with in 1-2 after taking lat dose. Normally abortion process will complete in 48-72 hours. Safe method for medical termination of intrauterine early pregnancy up to 9 week is mifepristone 600 mg followed by misoprostol 800 mcg vaginally or orally after 24-48 hour under the supervision of health care provider. Extra dose should be needed in some case. Transvaginal USG after 14 days for completeness of abortion process. Excessive bleeding, severe cramp, and fever are alarming symptoms and should be notify.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
