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.
