I'm a bit concerned after taking misoprostol last night at 9:40 pm. I experienced some moderate cramping but didn't notice any significant bleeding. Around 4 am, there was a little bleeding but it stopped quickly, though I'm still having on-and-off cramps. Ive been advised to take another dose of misoprostol again at 9:40 pm tonight. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of an incomplete abortion?

Based on your symptoms, it appears that the misoprostol is taking effect, but the abortion process may not be complete, as evidenced by the moderate cramping, initial bleeding that stopped, and the need for a second dose of misoprostol, which is a common practice to ensure complete abortion, but it's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider within 24-48 hours to confirm the completeness of the abortion and rule out any potential complications.

I'm experiencing an odd itching feeling inside my cervix, especially after I pee. It feels like there's something else that needs to come out, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Could this be a sign of something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and what should I do to get some relief?

The symptoms you're describing, including tickling, itching inside the cervix, and a sensation of incomplete urination, could be indicative of a cervical or urinary tract issue, such as cervical inflammation, vaginitis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI); consider consulting a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the best course of treatment.
