Question
hello, Dr Shan!

it's me again, your constant client...hope you still remember my case because I don't need to repeat my story once again...i had my last preg test yesterday (after 8 weeks of medical abortion) as advised by the medicine provider (she told me to wait until 8 weeks because even those with normal delivery have positive preg test til 8 weeks!) but sad to say it was still POSITIVE...huhuhu! and i don't have any contact anymore with my BF after the medical abortion. i and my BF has no other option (because I can't have US and at the same time I can't see a Doctor) than to order again the kit( 1 mife and 6 miso) for the second time. I took the mife last night at about 8pm...wasn't really able to sleep because I had hot flashes...no bleeding 'til now after 11 hours!...women on web suggested to follow.up the mife with 4 miso after 24 hours. am just confused because i've also read that normally there is bleeding after the mife but women on web has this,   "Normally a woman does not notice anything after taking the first pill, the mifepristone. Some women can experience some nausea, dizziness, or begin to bleed slightly." am asking this question because during my first try of med ab, i didn't take mife, it was only miso. another...should i take the miso tonight at 8pm (after 24 hrs)? i also have this strange feeling of pain in one part of my pelvis...i am just fine? please reply asap! thanks in advance!

Answer
Hi Gie again !
now, IF you are still pregnant  (only sure if you have an US !!!) you are about  11 weeks, correct ?
The mife/miso only works good before 8 weeks.
The info on "Women on web" is absolutely correct. No doubts about it.
So now that you took the mife already, you'd better take the miso as well. asap.  
Good luck ,  but I have no good feeling about this method with you.....
Keep me informed please
Dr Shan
