Take the misoprostol when it best suits you during this time. There is no right or wrong time. Make sure you&#8217;re comfortable and have time for the process to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-23062a1dfd1cf80608b0fcbca9b69c61\" style=\"color:#381d53\"><a name=\"question4\"><\/a>Should I take the misoprostol sublingually (under the tongue) or vaginally?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-29e3f87b82f460b8dae0f0d45451b223\">The misoprostol will be just as effective if you put them under the tongue or in the vagina. The pills dissolve faster under the tongue and can be viewed as being more private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-766011746d7fd67d6b276c3c86490123\">You may have fewer&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mariprist.com\/fr\/about-mariprist\/side-effects-warning-signs\/\">effets secondaires<\/a>&nbsp;if you take the misoprostol vaginally. However, if you are experiencing any bleeding from the vagina, you should not take the tablets vaginally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8582b8b7f58a8081a7ad91abbc2eb860\" style=\"color:#381d53\"><a name=\"question5\"><\/a>What happens if I vomit or swallow the misoprostol tablets before 30 minutes have passed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0592975ffcee1af91a96e526998d32ed\">If you vomit during the 30 minutes that the misoprostol pills are under your tongue, or swallow them before 30 minutes have passed, it is likely they will not work. In this case, it is necessary to immediately repeat the step you are on. If you vomit after the pills have been under your tongue for 30 minutes, there is no need to repeat that step, as the pills have already absorbed into your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bf8544729d4e69ef3f82ed755a9f5870\" style=\"color:#381d53\"><a name=\"question6\"><\/a>How will I know the abortion is working?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0734eb528c7cd3946cad09a9b1579154\">Cramping and bleeding may begin as quickly as 30 minutes after taking the 4 misoprostol pills. However, bleeding usually begins within 3-4 hours of using misoprostol. The bleeding should be similar to or heavier than your normal menstrual period. These are signs the abortion is working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c519f4e0832ee0368cd8135321df444b\" style=\"color:#381d53\"><a name=\"question7\"><\/a>What should I expect when the medicines take effect?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d9c2d7d4e157e3f5e4ebde9ed35e3e07\">It\u2019s normal to see large blood clots (up to the size of a lemon) or clumps of tissue when this is happening. It is similar to having a really heavy, crampy period, and the process is very similar to an early miscarriage. You might have chills, feel sick or experience vomiting or diarrhoea. Once the pregnancy passes, the amount of bleeding should noticeably reduce.

There is no need to take the mifepristone tablet again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-63997304695a6e0d64d56aaea22c629d\">If you still don\u2019t have any bleeding 24 hours after taking the extra pills, call a healthcare provider or an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mariprist.com\/fr\/contact-us\/\">MSI Reproductive Choices Contact Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-042be519ecbf881ac57c4aba44b3e44a\" style=\"color:#381d53\"><a name=\"question9\"><\/a>How do I know if the abortion was unsuccessful?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-88911fc4a45aa145b228736e60f4acc0\">If you haven&#8217;t bled or had cramps since taking Mariprist, or you are still experiencing signs of pregnancy such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. you may still be pregnant.

Taking Mariprist is very unlikely to affect your health, including the possibility of getting pregnant in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1ad5afbf83660112ca16f0257ab016e0\" style=\"color:#381d53\"><a name=\"question13\"><\/a>Can I use Mariprist if I&#8217;m still breastfeeding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f71e5b4d6fcb2eced4008bbf2044c53a\">Yes, if you are breastfeeding you can take mifepristone and misoprostol for&nbsp;medical abortion. There is no evidence to suggest that either medication is harmful to babies. Misoprostol enters breast milk soon after taken, and it is likely that mifepristone does as well. If you are worried you can breastfeed immediately before taking the Mariprist tablets or wait four to five hours after taking all of the tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d6869a9917e60467da9b58ffd1049e78\" style=\"color:#381d53\"><a name=\"question14\"><\/a>Is there an age restriction for medical abortion?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-24f10b69406755451f4c9b58d95af1d4\">There is no age limit for using Mariprist, however there may be local regulations regarding the use of products for minors which should be taken into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-05dd8fee1ec831c4387e22234cfde5d6\" style=\"color:#381d53\"><a name=\"question15\"><\/a>How long do symptoms last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-58a7ff6f0b3ff947d5275b02a96de336\">The cramping and bleeding can last for several hours. Most people finish passing the pregnancy tissue in 4-5 hours, but you don\u2019t need to worry if it happens sooner or later than this. The cramping and bleeding slows down after the pregnancy tissue comes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a59d7aefc08237d3ff0ddafbbc97619e\">You may have cramping on and off for 1 or 2 more days.
