Posted on Thu, 11 Feb 2016
Question: I had taken primolut n for 3 days but its more than 10 days haven't got period yet. I went for ultrasound, dr said everything is fine abd endometrial thickness is 11mm. Even the pregnancy test is negative. Dr has suggested misoprost 200 to be taken vaginally for period to start. But i have read that this medicine is for abortion. Already i am having problems in conceiving. I want to know will this medicine cause problems in becoming pregnant in future and why this medicine is suggested.

Brief Answer:
You should not go for mesoprostol.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
As your pregnancy test is negative and you have already took primolut-n,in my opinion you should not go for mesoprostol for the same.
Wait and watch for your menses for one week.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
This is used as an abortion pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As per my knowledge it is an abortion pill and use for abortion, usually considered a safe drug and not cause future problem.
But as your endometrial thickness is 11mm but negative urine pregnancy test, if I am yourtreating doctor I would suggest you first get your beta blood hcg testing because chances of ectopic pregnancy should be ruled out before taking mesoprostol.
Hope found useful.
Good luck.
