I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?

I've been on Deviry for 5 days, and it's now the 10th day since I finished taking it, but I still haven't gotten my period. Normally, I'd have my period by the 7th day after finishing Deviry. Is there any reason why it might be delayed this time?

The delayed periods could be due to various reasons such as hormonal imbalances, stress, thyroid issues, or underlying medical conditions. I would recommend consulting with your doctor to evaluate the cause of the delayed periods.

One more dose of mesprostl can be given if not vaccum aspiration or D&C could be tried.
