What if I do not bleed after taking misoprostol?

If there is no bleeding, the abortion was not successful. The bleeding usually starts about 1-5 hours after using the misoprostol, though in some cases it can take over 24 hours for bleeding to start. If you have extra misoprostol, an extra dose of misoprostol may help. If 2-3 days pass and there hasn't been bleeding similar to or stronger than a menstruation, it means the abortion did not happen. Abortion pills can be repeated if the first attempt fails. In the first 8 weeks of pregnancy, if there is no bleeding, and especially if there was a history of previous ectopic pregnancies, an ultrasound can be a good option to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
