Will I Experience Bleeding After Medical Abortion Complications?

I tried to do medical abortion. I took 1 mifepristone by swallowing. After 24 hours- 800mcg misoprostol vaginally. And 3 hours after that 400mcg misoprostol vaginally and more 400mcg misoprostol with 3 hours interval. Took total 5 doses of misoprostol like this including the first dose of 800mcg. After that my gestational sac came out in the morning while i was sitting on toilet. But i did not bleed at all. My pregnancy tissues and placenta did not pass too as i did not bleed before or after passing the sac. The embryo was inside the fluid like white colored sac. I was 12 weeks pregnant. Its now 36 hours and i did not bleed still. Should i wait for my bleeding to start? I took more misoprostol doses after my sac passed to start my bleeding but did not work. Will all the pregnancy tissues will come out naturally? Will my bleeding start naturally after some days? I just want to know if this happened to anyone. Will bleeding start eventually and pregnancy tissues and placenta pass if i wait? Edit: i asked icliniq and a doctor replied to use 2tab Co-Amoxiclav 625mg PO bid for 1week, 2tab metronidazole 400mg PO tid for 1week. this medicines are for infection. Also, do i have risks of having retained placenta issues such as hemorrhage? Or i don’t have the risk as i didn’t bleed at all yet? Will the placenta come out when bleeding will happen naturally after waiting ? i am confused and also very worried

It’s understandable to feel anxious after your experience. Retained tissue can happen, especially if bleeding hasn't occurred. It's essential to monitor your symptoms, and waiting a few days is reasonable, but if you experience severe pain, fever, or heavy bleeding, seek medical attention immediately. The medications prescribed can help prevent infection. While the placenta and tissues can pass naturally, I recommend consulting a gynecologist to ensure everything is progressing safely.

I’m experiencing spotting light brownish pinkish, last period was sept 23rd-28th I usually have regular heavy 5-7 day periods, I’m dealing with cramping and also a burning feeling in my stomach but only in the morning when I wake up. I took a pregnancy test yesterday it was negative I’m confused. Idk if it’s too early to test or what.

Pregnancy or various underlying conditions may be indicated by light brownish pinkish spots. 7-8 weeks ago is the last period from Sept 23rd -… 5-7 day periods are normal. The causes of cramping and burning feeling in the stomach are diverse. A pregnancy test may be conducted after a missed period to detect if one is pregnant. It may result to false-negative if taken too early. Contact a doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment.

I'm having irregular periods but I've cured it by taking medication from last 4months I've got my period regular last time it came 7 days before the time and this month it's been late for 14 days and I'm having pregnancy symptoms so I decided to test tomorrow but today I'm not having any symptoms

Female | 21

Irregular periods can have various causes, and taking medication to regulate them is a positive step. However, even with regular periods, occasional variations in timing can still occur. It mostly happens in maximum no. of women. if you feel you're experiencing pregnancy symptoms it may be a good idea to take a pregnancy test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.

I did a blood pregnancy test and it was positive but when I did an ultrasound scan, nothing was showing. What might be the problem?

Make out with bf and now scared that I might be pregnant but there was no ejaculation or penitration as guy confirmed that not as such happened and now I'm very stressed as I have pcod and my periods come one week early as last was on 30th and end by 6th October and makeout on 21st October. What are the precautions now to be taken for not having single change of getting pregnant

Female | 28

The probability of pregnancy would stay quite low if there was no ejaculation or penetration. Your PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) could be the reason why the cycle was irregular, and that is maybe why the period came early. See if there are any weird symptoms but most likely you are not pregnant. If you're truly concerned, testing for pregnancy and calming your mind by doing the test will be a good idea.

Hello mam I want to ask if i can get to know is their any chance to know before 6days of my period if i am pregnant ?as i am trying for baby

Female | 32

It's too early to know before your pe­riod. Around 6 days prior, you may experience­ light spotting, tender breasts, or mood change­s. These could indicate e­arly pregnancy. The best way to confirm is missing your pe­riod, then taking a home test.
