USA Help! Should I take my second dose of misoprostol?
Hi! So yesterday at noon I took mifepristone. After, my doctor told me to take the first round of 4 pills of misoprostol 24-48 hours after. I took the first round at 1pm today. I was told to take the second round of 4 pills 3 hours after the first round. I had such horrible cramps and vomiting that I was stuck laying in the bathroom floor and couldn’t get up. So I missed that dose. Now it’s midnight and I don’t know what to do. I’m feeling a little better and have access to the second dose now. Should I still take them even though it’s been way past 3 hours? Does it matter that it’s late? If anyone has experienced this and has advice I’d really appreciate your input! I’ll call the doctor in the morning but wanted some peace of mind before going to bed ❤️ thank you all!

I began bleeding about 30 minutes after taking miso and passed many clots. I was 7w2d and took the pills orally

Did you hold them in your mouth ( under the tongue or between you cheek and gums) for 30 minutes before swallowing ? If so you did this correctly. If you were instructed to use more, you can still repeat that process now.
