Brief Answer:
Wait for the bleeding to start in next 4-5 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You have only 4 weeks pregnancy. It takes some time to dislodge such a small sac. The bleeding is likely to start on its own in next 4-5 days. It is best to wait now. The cramps that you are having can be due to impending bleeding. Avoid taking any pain killer for it. Take rest.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Wait for at least 7 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Mifepristone is a toxic medicine that is associated with many side effects like heavy bleeding, crams, irregular periods, etc. Its effects can persist upto 6 weeks. Due to serious and common side effects, it is not advisable to repeat the medicine immediately. You should wait for at least 7 days for bleeding and in case there is no bleeding then consult a gynecologist and repeat the medicine only under her supervision.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

Brief Answer:
Ligation or abstinence.

Detailed Answer:
The best way of contraception apart from condoms , tablets or IUD is getting ligation done or ask your partner for vasectomy. Apart from this, abstinence is the only way to avoid pregnancy. All other methods of temporary contraception are associated with side effects. Most harmful of them all is to get a repeated abortion using abortion kit.

Hi Doc Good Morning,

As I was telling you above that I took MTP kit after 2days of due periods date and I took it according to the instructions but till last night even after more than 24hrs...there was no sign of bleeding....I had only cramps and even that was disappeared till yesterday evening.

Now I just noticed that there was little amount of red blood on the wipe....but it was small amount of blood.

Do u think....that I started the procedure of abortion???? Now I will bleed in good amount ????? Or you think I need some medication ???? Pls guide.

Brief Answer:
No medication needed right now. Just wait.

Detailed Answer:
The bleeding can start gradually. The blood on wiping is the beginning of abortion procedure. It can take 2-3 days for the full blown bleeding to happen. You will also have cramps during heavy bleeding. Do wait for the bleeding to happen. No need of any extra medicine right now.
Regards.
