Question
Dear Sir/Madam,
         I and my girlfriend had unprotected sex, two days before we expected her periods. After 4 weeks we discovered about her pregnancy and considering our situations decided to abort. She had one tablet of Mifepristone, had pains in body only spots of bleeding. She felt very hungry at times and pukish, but did not vomit either. After 48 hrs she had a tablet of Misoprostol. She is in a girls hostel & I cannot be around due to problems. M worried she is facing high pains and unable to eat anything. Can her PCOD & Diabeties be a problem & what if this does not work can she repeat the tablet???

Answer
Hi Sifa,
One tablet of mifepristone is not too much. How did she take the tablet ? She swallowed it, or put it in the vagina ?
Hunger can be related to the diabetes. Does she take medication for that ? Many questions, but it is difficult to
know your situation. It seems better to see a doctor there to make some investigations.
If she wants to know if she is still pregnant or not she can do a pregtest in three weeks time.
Thats all I can say...sorry.
Dr Shan
