Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Abortion using pills is recommended to be strictly done under medical supervision.
Bleeding usually starts within four hours after using the pills, but sometimes later. If the abortion continues, bleeding and cramps become more severe. Longer the pregnancy, the more heavy the cramps and the bleeding will be. If the abortion is complete, the bleeding and the cramps diminish.
If no bleeding occurs after the third dose or the bleeding is scanty, you can to try it again after a couple of days or get the abortion done by surgical means.
It is essential to get a ultrasound scan done after 10 to 14 days to make sure that all the products of conception have been expelled out completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
