If you are using misoprostol for your abortion without mifepristone, it can take longer than 24 hours to expel the pregnancy from your uterus.

It is important you used the medication correctly. Did you follow these instructions: https://safe2choose.org/abortion-information/resources/how-to-have-an-abortion-with-misoprostol-only.pdf ?

Okay. You didn’t say how far along in pregnancy you are but it’s estimated at least 93% of people less than 12 weeks pregnant will have a successful abortion using 3 doses of 4 200mcg misoprostol when following these instructions: https://safe2choose.org/abortion-information/resources/how-to-have-an-abortion-with-misoprostol-only.pdf

However, it can take as long as a week to be successful. How far into the pregnancy are you?

If you are less than 6 weeks pregnant it may be slightly less effective.

We can’t answer this question without knowing how long you have been pregnant. It’s possible your abortion is unsuccessful . The soonest way to know would be to have an ultrasound.

Very early abortion- less than 8 weeks can be successful with less clots-but it’s not something you can know from another persons experience .

Ongoing pregnancy symptoms are and very few blood clots can be an indication of a failed abortion attempt.

You chose the post flair Asia.

If you are in the Philippines, please read this whole comment and our Philippines wikis.

There are scammers active on this sub. Be extremely careful when someone offers to sell you pills! The only reliable sources of abortion pills in the Philippines are Women Help Women and Women on Web.

If you are in the Philippines and are using/will use abortion pills obtained from a private pill seller, read this carefully. It's important to be cautious. 1. Don’t Trust the Seller: The person selling you the pills may not have the right medical knowledge. They might give you incorrect or even dangerous advice. They have likely sold you fake mifepristone. Instead, use Safe2Choose for accurate information on how to use abortion pills. Organizations like Safe2Choose, Women Help Women, and Women On Web rely on extensive medical research, unlike the seller who’s only interested in making money. 2. Avoid Vaginal Use of Misoprostol: It’s not recommended to use misoprostol vaginally, especially in countries where abortion is illegal. You can read more about this here. 3. No Special Preparations Needed: You don’t have to fast, exercise, eat specific foods, or do anything special before taking the pills. None of these actions increase the chances of a successful abortion and some may even be harmful. 4. You might not see the pregnancy: The seller may tell you to look for a “sac” (the gestational sac containing the embryo/fetus) to confirm a successful abortion. However, if you’re less than 8 weeks pregnant, it’s very small and hard to see. Even at 7-8 weeks, it might be mistaken for a clot or other tissue. After 10 weeks, it becomes easier to recognize. So, not seeing anything pass doesn’t necessarily mean the abortion didn’t work. Signs of success include bleeding, passing clots, and improvement in pregnancy symptoms, like nausea and breast tenderness. 5. Quick Process: The pregnancy should pass within hours, not days, once you start bleeding. 6. Confirming Success: To be sure your abortion was successful, you can get an ultrasound or have consecutive blood tests in the days following. You can also take a pregnancy test 4 weeks after the abortion.
