Question
last 2 days,i inserted 4 tablets of misoprostol into my virgina by 8:30pm and dosed off. I woke up btw intervals and noticed sharp pains in my abdomen. By morning the pains were over and i saw blood. I am 2 weeks pregnant. Slightly after 3 hours, i received normal menstrual pain. After 24 hours i inserted another 4 tablets of misoprostol into my virgina. And wen i woke up,i noticed there was no more blood at all. I am not comfortable that the blood has disappeared because it makes me feel like i have stopped the abortion. I regret taking the second dose even when i saw blood come out after the first dose. At this stage, i need your advice on what to do. I am just 2 weeks pregnant and need to be sure if the 2nd dose has hindered anything.

Answer
Hi Ivy,
you did well.
With a very young pregnancy, the fetus is as as small as a grain of rice. But softer.
I think the abortion worked out well. The pregtest will stay positive for 3 weeks, so no use testing now.
Do not take more Misoprostol.
Bye for now !
