Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I took a pill of 200 mcg yesterday night and two pills of 200 mcg of Mifegest kit today morning and I am having lower back pain and abdominal cramps. So, when will bleeding start? And is it risky that I cannot handle it by myself at home?

Answered by Dr. Balakrishnan R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The first pill dislodges the embryo from the uterine lining and you may have some vomiting tendency, but no bleeding. Then the second pills make the uterus to contract and open the cervical canal and the dislodged embryo falls out. The ideal way of taking the pill is to have the first pill and then have the second group of pills after 48 hours of the first pills. Thereby, you give enough time for the embryo to separate from the uterus. The bleeding usually starts within a day or two of the second pill.

It is the second pill, which is making the uterus to contract and the cervical canal to open, that is causing the cramps. You can have any of the painkillers like tablet Meftal spas or Cyclopam or Spasmo Proxyvon two to three times a day. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. The bleeding depends on the duration of pregnancy. If early, like less than six to seven weeks, the bleeding will be like periods. If later than that, it will have few clots and the bleeding will be more than normal but can be handled at home. You will need the doctor's help only if there is no bleeding or too much bleeding. Usually, it will resolve in two to three days.

Hope I have clarified your query, Do write back if you have any more queries. All the best.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Now, what should I do? Should I worry about the bleeding?

Answered by Dr. Balakrishnan R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you take no tension at all. The bleeding will occur just like periods, maybe with a few clots. Just keep few painkillers I mentioned, handy. If the bleeding troubles you, then I suggest you have a tablet containing Tranexamic acid such as Trapic-MF or Tranostat-M or Pause-MF three to four times a day, as per the bleeding. Keep these handy even before the bleeding starts. They will help you. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. All the best.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
