Hi

You have not mentioned the weeks or months of pregnancy.In the early weeks of pregnancy,cytotec alone may be sufficient.But in the later weeks,antiprogestins like mifepristone should be started first and 24 to 48 hours later cytotec should be started.

The bleeding will start 24 to 48 hours later.Nausea ,vomiting,abdominal cramps and vaginal bleeding may be experienced.

I would suggest you to visit your doctor inorder to get clinically examined and determine whether additional dose of cytotec is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
