You should have been given clear instructions. I had to take two.
They do different jobs so work together but generally not great alone. Mifepristone blocks progesterone production to make pregnancy unsustainable and the misoprostol induces contractions. Only taking the mifepristone may still end the pregnancy but delay the bleeding
I’ve had to take it for two miscarriages and both times I followed their directions and took the pills given to me when I was supposed to. I passed stuff after taking the first pill and after the second pill as well. I would just take both as if you don’t and you don’t pass it all you could have to go in for a D&C
@Ceri-Ann I'm 15 weeks pregnant so I should take the misoprostol. Shouldn't I :/ just heard it causes a lot of pain and I'm not sure how bad it is but I have a surgical abortion tomorrow and really scared
They do different jobs the first one stops it from growing any further and the second tablet makes your body pass it. I hope you’re ok I know people have views on this but I know this isn’t always black and white and can be the most difficult decision and thing to go through xxx
If the clinic have told you to take it you need to take it. If you have a surgical termination booked they are asking you to take it to help soften your cervix. The procedure likely won’t go ahead if you haven’t taken it as your cervix will be too difficult to dilate and increase the risk of cervical trauma which has long term effects
I don’t know but I hope your ok ? Look after yourself xx
