What Causes Cramps And Abdominal Bloating After Taking An Abortion Pill?

Hi. I have been off the pill for at least one month. I had sex last Friday night, condom fell off and neither myself or boyfriend remember if he came or not. To be safe, on Sunday morning (35 hours post) i took the MAP. I ve experienced some period like cramping and today I am quite bloated around my lower stomach. I don t know when I am due for. Period but no sign of it yet. Can you advise what you think I should do? I m quite scared.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
There is nothing to be scared. Since you have taken pill within 72 hours, you must get your periods shortly. As the pill also contains hormones and your body also responds to hormonal changes, such cramps and abdominal discomfort is known to happen. Once you get your periods, you know that you are safe. Till then relax.
