Question : hii doctor, my friend is 25 days pregnant. She took Khusi MT pills(containing 5 tablets) by following dosages of 1 mifepristone (1st day) and 4 mesoprostone(after 24 hrs with 2 pills together at a gap of 2 hrs) orally. She felt normal stomach pain after that. today is 2nd day after those dosage and nothing has happened. i am confused that whether it has failed or it will give result after someday.. please throw some valuable lights over this matter.

Brief Answer: First make sure she is pregnant!!!!! Detailed Answer: hi, First make sure she is pregnant!!!!! if surely diagnosed with pregnancy,, read. Generally, bleeding starts with in few hours after taking complete course with severe abdomial pain. The bleeding may be heavy and may continue for a week or so. As you have already crossed 24 hrs, i suggest you to consult a gynecologist to check for continuing pregnancy or products of retained conception.

Brief Answer: Two positive card tests can be taken for granted Detailed Answer: Hi, Two positive card tests can be taken for granted as pregnancy. In general, these are sufficient to make the diagnosis of pregnancy initially which is later confirmed by seeing the gestational sac by ultrasound abdomen. They may show false positives, but very rarely.
