Steps to take in case of a complication

Complications are extremely rare if you have followed the above instructions, while using the correct medicines.

But they are still a possibility, and you should be prepared for them.

Signs of a complication, which would require medical intervention:

• Heavy bleeding, without the feeling of pressure.
• • Though bleeding is a normal outcome, heavy bleeding can be dangerous.
  • This bleeding would feel like the tap is open, you would be easily able to tell it apart from regular bleeding.
  • Normal bleeding should not fill up more than 2 sanitary pads, for more then 2 consecutive hours.
• Very high fever: exceeding 39°C.
• Prolonged fever: less than 39°C, but lasting for more than 24 hours.
• Constant very high pain, lasting for more than 3 days after using the tablets.

The symptoms & treatment of a medical abortion complication and a miscarriage are the same.

The medical staff at almost all hospitals is experienced with dealing with miscarriages, and would be able to administer the appropriate treatment.

You don't have to tell the staff or the doctor about the medical abortion. Just say you suspect you might be having a miscarriage.

The tablets can not be detected in the blood.
