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'm dealing with pain in my lower abdomen that's making it really hard to move around. Walking, turning over in bed, sittingeverything hurts. I've already tried taking the painkiller and antibiotic that my doctor recommended, but nothing's helping. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Its likely superficial muscular than internal pain. I would suggest you get ultrasound abdomen if pain persists
