"Symptoms to expect. This treatment causes cramping and bleeding. Usually, these symptoms mean that the treatment is working. But sometimes you can get cramping and bleeding and still be pregnant. This is why you must return to your provider on Day 3 and about Day 14.
If you are not already bleeding after taking Mifeprex, you probably will begin to bleed once you take misoprostol. This is a medicine you take on Day 3. Bleeding or spotting can be expected for an average of 9-16 days and may last for up to 30 days. Your bleeding may be similar to, or greater than, a normal heavy period. You may see blood clots and tissue that come from your uterus. This is an expected part of ending the pregnancy.
Heavy bleeding and the need for surgery. In about 1 out of 100 women, bleeding can be so heavy that it requires a surgical procedure (curettage) to stop it. This is why you must talk with your provider about what to do if you need emergency care to stop heavy and possibly dangerous bleeding. "
Grand. Just grand. And this is the best option? I'm starting to seriously rethink my carreer plans. someone should fix this.
