I'm just a bit worried after my abortion started on April 10th, and even after the medicine course, my bleeding didn't stop. When I visited the gynecologist, the ultrasound showed an incomplete abortion, and she advised going for a vacuum aspiration to prevent any infection. But honestly, I didn't want to go through that procedure, so I took more misoprostol for three days, around 400 mg twice daily, making it 8 mg per day. After that, I experienced more bleeding and cramping, but everything seems to have stopped after a week. There's no more bleeding, no cramping, and the only discharge I'm noticing is the usual natural white discharge. It's been 12 days now, and everything feels back to normal. So, I'm curiousdoes this mean my abortion is now complete and there are no leftover tissues? Could you give me some advice on this?

Although you've experienced bleeding and cramping after self-administering additional misoprostol, it's crucial to schedule a follow-up ultrasound with your gynecologist to confirm complete abortion and rule out any remaining tissue or complications.

I had unprotected sex with my fiance and took the ipill about 14 hours later. A couple of days after taking it, I experienced some vaginal bleeding. Should I be concerned about this, or is it a normal side effect of the ipill?

It's normal to experience vaginal bleeding a few days after taking the i-Pill, as it's a common side effect due to hormonal changes. This is usually not a cause for concern. However, if the bleeding is heavy or prolonged, or if you miss your next period, consider consulting a doctor to rule out other issues.
