    no periods after misoprostol
    We found from an urine test that my wife was pregnant. As we decided to get it aborted, we took Mifeprisone(3 x 200mg) and then after 2 days, Misoprostol (2 Orally and 2 Vaginally). Now it is one week after taking Misoprostol, she has not got her periods. In between, 3 days back we went to the doctor to enquire about the problem when she prescribed to take Regestrone 5 mg (3 x 3 days). But even then she has not her periods. We did a urine test again to find negative. We are worried... Is this a problem? What should we do now? Is the pregnancy really terminated?

    We can't tell if the pregnancy is terminated. Your wife will have to have an ultrasound done at the doctor's office to determine termination.

    Can we have an urine test done today? We can get ultra sound done only on Monday as most doctors would be away on the weekend. And 'Not having periods after 7 days of misprostol' indicate that there is something wrong otherwise. Just forgot to mention that we had unprotected sex on the day she had misoprostol. Is there by any chance pregnancy again.

    If you are not prepared for pregnancy, don't have unprotected sex. These medications are VERY serious and can be dangerous to your wife's health. That's why, here in the US, the are ONLY given in the hospital by doctors.

    A urine test will do nothing other than say positive or negative. Since your wife has not bled since taking the medication, it is apparent that she has not passed the products of conception. She will have to have an ultrasound and possibly a D&C.

    The medications given do not always work of course.

    They also can cause serious harm to your wife and need to be done only ones doctors instructions. But yes it is possible that she is still pregnant, and you will just have to wait, waiting two days is not going to change anything.

    We visited a doctor yesterday and she asked us to get a Beta-HCG test done. We got the report today and the beta-HCG level was below 2.39. What does this indicate? And if there is no pregnancy now, why have the periods not started yet? Has the Regesterone dose caused a delay in the periods?
