We're dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, and after looking over all the reports, we've been considering going the medication route for an abortion. I'm really concerned about one thing: her hemoglobin level is at 8.5. Are tablets still safe to use in this situation?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While medical abortion can be safe and effective, low hemoglobin levels increase the risks, particularly with bleeding. It's crucial to first consult with a gynacologist to assess whether medical abortion is a safe option and to consider ways to improve her hemoglobin before proceeding or a blood transfusion

I'm a bit concerned after finishing my medication with the abortion pill because I'm 4 weeks pregnant and it's been 3 days since I took the misoprostol, but I've only had some spotting and not much bleeding. Does this mean the abortion process isn't complete? I also still feel mild cramps like I'm on my period sometimes. Could you help clarify this for me?
After 48 hrs of taking Mesoprostol,you will see proper clots falling out,if at all those were not seen,only spotting is noted,thatis incomplete abortion,get a scan done for fetal viability and visit gynaecologist for appropriate approach

Im really worried and confused about ectopic pregnancy and how misoprostol might affect it. If it is ectopic, will I experience bleeding and cramping after taking misoprostol? And if bleeding does start, does that indicate a normal pregnancy, or could it still be ectopic? I'm trying to understand what to look out for.
Ectopic Pregnancy is serious condition where MTP need to be perfomed in doctors supervision,there will be extreme pain in lower abdomen and bleeding PV would be less when compared to intra uterine pregnancy because blood would be collecting in the abdomen,hence to avoid serios complication visit Gynaecologist for evaluation and appropriate management
