View allI've taken misoprostol today at 11 amtwo tablets of 200 mg eachbut there's no bleeding yet. Then, I took another two tablets around 7 pm. How long should I expect to wait before the bleeding starts? I'm getting a bit worried and would really appreciate some advice on what's normal in this situation.
After taking misoprostol, bleeding typically starts within 1-4 hours, but it can take up to 24 hours; since you took the second dose at 7 pm, you may experience bleeding within the next 12-24 hours; however, if you haven't bled or experienced severe symptoms like heavy bleeding, severe pain, or fever, consult your gynaecologist

I have a 4.9 cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and attached my scan report. Could you check and let me know if surgery is necessary or if it can be treated with medication? Also, is there a chance it might go away on its own with lifestyle changes?
Functional ovarian cysts usually go away without treatment. If your cyst is likely functional, your provider may suggest a wait-and-see approach. You may have a follow-up ultrasound within a few weeks or months after your diagnosis to see if your cyst is getting larger, smaller or changing in any other way.
