Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Misoprostol, marketed under the brandname Cytotec, is a medication used to start labor, cause an abortion, prevent and treat stomach ulcers, and treat postpartum bleeding due to poor contraction of the uterus. After consuming Misoprostol for the purpose of abortion, you should expect bleeding and cramps. Bleeding usually starts within four hours of using the pills, but it sometimes starts later. Bleeding is often the first sign that the abortion has begun. If the abortion continues, bleeding and cramps become more severe. Bleeding is often heavier than a normal menstruation, and there can be clots (more if the pregnancy duration is more). If the abortion is complete, the bleeding and the cramps diminish. Bleeding can sometimes continue lightly for one to three weeks after the abortion. Normal menstrual period usually returns after four to six weeks. However, it is essential for you to get an ultrasound scan done to confirm as to all the products of conception has been expelled out completely. It would take about 2 weeks for the hormonal changes that have taken place during pregnancy to be back to normal. Hence, until then, you might get urine pregnancy test positive.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
