Question
Dear Dr. Cheryl!

I have just experienced medical abortion or some kind of intent.
After taking metothrexate /a week ago/ I took Misoprostol 4 days after ... The cramps and bleeding came the same day, there were teh blood clots and for that same day I would say that the bleeding was as heavy as during normal mestruation day. However on the next /2nd day/ it has almost stopped and today /3rd day/ I do not notice any bleeding at all, just going to the toilette I still can see some blood clots.
Do you thing it is normal or I should take some extra dose of Misoprostol?
Many thanks in advance for your answer,
regards,

Alica

Answer
Thanks for your question, Alica,

I'm not a doctor and cannot recommend medical abortion. No one online should recommend misoprostol or any kind of abortion medication. This should never be done, especially without a doctor's supervision. You could have a side effect or problem and there would be no doctor for you to turn to. We have been getting reports of extended and excessive bleeding after medical abortion. Please don't take any of these medications ever again. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know if you are ok. Put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line of your email.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
