Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My friend has done a medical abortion at five weeks of pregnancy. At that time, her hCG level was 614. She had done abortion with the help of Mifepristone 200 mcg and Misoprostol 800 mcg. She took Mifepristone in the morning and after 24 hours, she took Misoprostol orally. After taking Misoprostol, within 40 minutes she started bleeding with clots. For four days, she got bleeding and then it stopped. Then again after seven days from the day Mifepristone was taken, she again did a blood test. At that time, her hCG level came down to 9. So, can you tell me if her abortion is successful?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If her hCG levels have gone down from 600 to 9, it means she has successfully aborted. No need to worry. Generally, we recommend ultrasound by a gynecologist after two weeks to see some bits lying inside but as your levels have reduced drastically, it is almost a complete process.
