I'm a bit concerned because I took mifepristone and then 24 hours later, I followed it up with 4 tablets of misoprostol, just like my gynaecologist told me to. But I've only had a bit of spotting for a little while and then no bleeding at all, just some cramps and nausea. It's been over 21 hours since I took the misoprostol and I'm worried that it might not be working. Can you help me understand what's going on or what I should do next?

Given the lack of bleeding 21 hours after taking misoprostol, despite experiencing cramps and nausea, it's essential to follow up with your gynaecologist as soon as possible to assess the abortion's success and rule out any potential complications or ongoing pregnancy; you may recommend an ultrasound to confirm the outcome and provide further guidance.

I've been using Krimson 35 pills for a week, starting from the 10th day after my period began, up until the 17th day. Then I stopped taking them and had unprotected sex. A week later, I noticed some bleeding. Could this be implantation bleeding, or is it just my irregular menstrual cycle acting up? What are the chances that I might be pregnant? Since my periods are usually pretty irregular, I'm feeling a bit anxious.

The bleeding you noticed could be breakthrough bleeding from stopping the Krimson 35 pills, rather than implantation bleeding, as it typically happens after ovulation and would usually occur around the time of your expected period. Given your irregular cycles, it's hard to determine your exact fertile window, but there's still a chance of pregnancy, so it's advisable to take a pregnancy test after a missed period or consult your doctor.
