Hi..
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Mifegest is a pack containing 4 tablets. I would like to know how you took this tablet and at what time interval.. There will be bleeding with passage of clots. But only if it is taken correctly the abortion will be complete.

Looking forward for your reply. Thanks

Yes you should take today's pill in the evening otherwise there is gosh chance of retained products.. A scan need to be done after 2 week to see for the completeness of abortion. Hope I have answered your query. Good day.

Dont worry.. Sometimes if all products are already expelled you might not have bleeding. So get a scan after 1 week to see whether there is any retained products. thanks.
