Question
this is the second time i take cytoce in a year i now know I'm pregnant but not sure how far along, last time i took cytotec i took 6 pills orally one pill every housr for 6hrs i dnt recall how long it took to take effect but im sure it took a couple of days, is that normal? i just took 6 last night the same way one every hour & i only got some cramping & im ok now, will the bleeding start in a couple of days? should i wait or should i take another 6 pills?  

Answer
Hi E,

the right way to take Cytotec is discribed at: http://www.womenonwaves.org/set-274-en.html
The effect should come within 48 hours.

So DO NOT take the pill orally but keep them under your tongue to melt.
Its risky to take those pills if you do not know how many weeks the pregnancy is.

So if nothing happens take the them the way as discribed on that site.
I hope this was clear.
Take care, and no experiments with your body !
