Question 1

how long does misoprostol stay in your system?

Accepted Answer

Uterine contraction: It is excreted by the kidneys in about one hour so should be gone from your system in 90 minutes but the effect on tissue may last longer with cramping.

Question 2

yes, if i take cytotec and have any complications to where i need to go to the hospital can i tell them i think i am having a miscarriage or will they be able to detect the drug in my system or the baby if they want to do any testing to figure out the cau

Accepted Answer

Big life decisions: Are you happy when you are lied to? Do keep that in mind if you lie to your doctor or to other people. In the US, we are a free people living in a free society, which means there is no reason to lie about pregnancy or abortion. Plan life so that unexpected pregnancies do not happen. But if they do, a couple can decide with the doctor whether or not to get rid of their baby fetus, but be honest.

Question 3

how much longer will the bleeding continue after i took misoprostol for medical abortion? its been a week and a half now and im still bleeding.

Accepted Answer

Seek Help ASAP: You should seek help immediately. After a procedure like this, bleeding should only last about 2 to 3 days at the most. If you are still bleeding, you should contact the office that did the procedure or seek emergency help, because it may be or become a more serious issue.

Question 4

i am 3 and a half months pregnant i have taken 4 misoprostol pills  2 pills last to last night and 1 last night and 1 in noon nothing happened tell me?

Accepted Answer

Contact Abortion MD: The oral medication for abortion works best on pregnancies of 8 weeks or less. If "nothing has happened" ;you will need a surgical procedure to terminate the pregnancy.

Question 5

i took last night 10 pills of cytotec (misoprostol) (200mcgs) 3 doses every 3 hours 
i'm about 10weeks pregnant and nothing happened. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See abortion MD: At 10 weeks pregnant most medications will not work and you need a surgical abortion if you desire to end the pregnancy.

Question 6

my girlfriend is 2weeks pregnant !
last night she took the dose of mifepristone 200mg ! today after 24hours how many tablets of misoprostol should she take ?

Accepted Answer

Doctors instructions: If you are undergoing a medical elective abortion it is important to follow the doctors instructions as directed. It would be inappropriate to counsel you on medication instructions different from what the prescribing doctor has directed.

Question 7

is there a greater chance of infection the longer the bleeding continues after taking misoprostol for abortion? it's been two weeks and still bleeding

Accepted Answer

Not really unless: You have retained products.  It's more an issue of anemia if it's heavy.I'm sure u have follow up scheduled.

Question 8

doc i'm 8weeks preggy when i took cytotec (misoprostol) then i'm bleed that last within 5days then i took pt it was negative but i'm still worried if it is success ?

Accepted Answer

Tests are accurate: Pregnancy tests are very accurate. If worried, one can retest in 7 days, with a home urine pregnancy test. Tests are sold in stores everywhere and are cheap to buy. If there was nothing wrong with the baby fetus, one should be sure to use a reliable form of contraception all of the time, in order to avoid a similar situation in the future.

Question 9

my partner took 4 misoprostol pills 2 weeks ago then 2 pills the following day.after 2 wks the pt test still registered positive so we were instructed to insert 4 more pills vaginally,is it safe if we had intercourse last night?

Accepted Answer

Not safe!: Any ejaculate will decrease the absorption of the 4 vaginal pills.  Moreover, if her cervix was open awaiting passage of the fetal material, then intercourse will increase the risk of intra uterine infection. Your partner needs to contact the Abortion MD immediately and explain what has occurred.

Question 10

currently during the medication of mifepristone and misoprostol whenever my wife tries to eat she feel like to vomit. so she didnt had frm last 4 days?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: She most likely has continued morning sickness. The symptoms should resolve over the next few days after the termination.
