Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding (soaking more than two maxi pads per hour for two consecutive hours), fever over 100.4°F (38°C), or signs of infection such as chills, persistent vomiting, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge. These symptoms may indicate complications requiring urgent medical intervention.
Follow-up Appointments
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider one to two weeks after taking the abortion pill. This appointment allows for confirmation that the abortion is complete and addresses any questions or concerns you may have. During this visit, your provider will likely conduct a physical exam and possibly an ultrasound to verify the procedure’s success and to rule out potential complications. Your provider will also discuss birth control options and future reproductive health.
Additional Concerns
Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any unusual symptoms, even if they seem minor. Early intervention can prevent more serious problems. Do not hesitate to reach out – your health is a priority.
