During the appointment, we will check the duration of your pregnancy with an abdominal ultrasound examination.

A medical abortion is a termination of pregnancy caused by medicines. These medicines, mifepristone and misoprostol, cause the expulsion of the pregnancy from the uterus.

Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, which is required to sustain a pregnancy. Without this hormone, the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterine wall is disrupted, and the uterus contracts. Misoprostol enhances contractions and helps to expel the products of conception from the uterus.

If there are no contraindications, our doctor will provide you with mifepristone and misoprostol during your appointment.

24 hours later, put 4 tablets of misoprostol (200 mcg each) under your tongue and keep them there for 30 minutes, until the tablets are dissolved. You can swallow your saliva. After 30 minutes, you can spit out any remains of the tablets

If you prefer to use the misoprostol vaginally, put all 4 tablets as high as possible into the vagina, just like a tampon. It is easiest to do this while lying on bed. When used under your tongue, you may experience more stomach cramps than when you insert the tablets into your vagina.

The medicines cause your uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy through the vagina. You should expect bleeding and cramps. Nausea, diarrhea, and a slight increase in temperature are normal side effects of the medicines. Therefore, make sure you have someone with you who can support you or call for medical help if needed.

Mifepristone alone usually does not cause any side effects before taking misoprostol, although some women may experience light bleeding or nausea.

After using misoprostol, you should expect bleeding and cramps. Bleeding usually starts within four hours of taking the pills, but it sometimes starts later. For some people, the bleeding and cramping and other side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and hot flashes or fever may occur shortly after taking misoprostol.

Bleeding is often the first sign that the abortion has begun. If the abortion continues, bleeding and cramps become more severe. Bleeding is often heavier than a normal menstruation, and it is normal to have clots. The longer the pregnancy has developed, the heavier the cramps and the bleeding will be. If the abortion is complete, the bleeding and the cramps diminish. The moment of abortion can be noticed with a peak of heavier blood loss and more pain and cramps.
