What are the steps for an abortion with Cytotec?

The abortion process with Cytotec / Misoprostol resembles to a conventional menstrual period process. Always follow the medication guide to succeed 100% on your abortion.

From 0h to 4h after taking the medication:

After taking Misoprostol (Cytotec – 200mcg), you should expect bleeding and cramps. It usually starts 4 hours after taking the pills, but it may take longer (there are records of waiting that reached 72 hours).

In some cases, bleeding and cramps (or spasms) may begin shortly after taking Misoprostol (Cytotec – 200mcg).

From 4h to 8h after taking the medication:

The bleeding is often the first sign that the abortion has begun. The bleeding is usually a little more intense than a regular period. Some clots may appear (several women compare these clots to “pieces of liver”). If the abortion is complete, bleeding and cramps diminish. The exact time of abortion can be identified by an bleeding, pain and cramp intensity peak.

From 8h on after taking the medication:

A lighter bleeding usually continues during 1 – 3 weeks after the abortion, but these periods of time may vary. The regular menstruation tipically comes back within roughly 4 – 6 weeks.

The abortion carried out with Cytotec is simple and secure when basic precautions are taken.
