Misoprostal causes the uterus to empty. During this stage the pregnant woman should expect to have cramping, heaving bleeding with large blood clots or tissue, dizzyness, diarrhea, nauseau and vomiting, mild fever and chills. this should last for a few hours. four to five hours after taking the pill Misoprostal.The health care provider and the patient should also choose the time and place. for the abortion in order to prevent complications. It is normal for small amounts of vaginal bleeding or spotting to occur for up to 4 weeks after the abortion process. The third stage of the abortion process is the Follow-up. This is where the patient should be sure to follow up with her health care provider to ensure the pregnancy has ended. The patient will then be subjected to another ultrasound and another blood test. If for some reason the pregnancy was not ended an aspiration abortion will be necessary. The medication abortion is very effective .Statics shown that 97% out of every 100% is effective. The medication abortion pill is available at most planned parenthood centers at a cost ranging from $350- $650. This can only be prescribed under the direction of your doctor.
