I've got a 12cm fibroid in my uterus, and Im really worried about having to go through surgery. Are there any medicines or other treatments out there that could help shrink it instead?

I took misoprostol on July 9th at 8:30, but it's been 18 hours and I'm not bleeding. What should I do? I'm starting to get worried.

If you haven't started bleeding within 24 hours of taking misoprostol, it's likely that the abortion was not successful, and you may need to repeat the dose or consider other option
