HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
THE MT pill kit can be used to terminate 37 to 63 days of pregnancy. You had taken Mifepristone pills on day one It kills the fetus .It may not start bleeding.
On day 3 ( after 48 hours ) you have to take two pills of MIsoprostol..( orally/ vaginally )., This pill now causes uterine contractions to expel the dead fetus out. Bleeding starts after taking MIsoprostol. If there is no bleeding in 12 hours 2 more pills of Misoprostol are used..Abortion is complete in a couple of days.
Check up by a gynecologist/ USG is essential to confirm complete abortion.
* You may need doctor's help in case there is profuse bleeding or incomplete abortion. SO it is better taken under expert guidance of a gynecologist.
Thanks.
