View allI'm taking primolut N to delay my periods because of a work emergency. My period was originally supposed to start around the 23rd or 24th of September. Today is the 22nd, and I'm on my second day with primolut N, but I'm noticing a light white-pinkish discharge. Is this normal? Should I keep taking primolut N? I really can't afford to get my period right now because it's usually very heavy.
It's normal to experience some spotting or discharge while taking this medication, especially in the initial days, as it can affect the lining of your uterus.If the discharge becomes heavier, or you experience any unusual symptoms like severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding then consult the doctor

I took misoprostol on July 9th at 8:30, but it's been 18 hours and I'm not bleeding. What should I do? I'm starting to get worried.
If you haven't started bleeding within 24 hours of taking misoprostol, it's likely that the abortion was not successful, and you may need to repeat the dose or consider other option
