Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology - Maternal Fetal Medicine

Cytotec (misoprostol): I assume you received that from your doctor to induce a medical termination of pregnancy. If not, i would recommend consulting with your ob/gyn. Depending on however you took you may experience abdominal cramping, vaginal bleeding, and sometimes diarrhea.
