ANSWER: From what you are describing, it sounds like the procedure did work, however this won't immediately be able to be confirmed without an ultrasound. If you can not have an ultrasound performed, I would recommend waiting 2 weeks from when you first took the misoprostol and then taking a pregnancy test. If it were to be negative, then you will know that it was successful. If, at that point, the test is still positive, wait one additional week and perform another test. The "T" line on the test should be getting fainter if you are no longer pregnant. If it were to still be positive after 4 weeks, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

QUESTION: hy thanks dear..me too thought so but its my third day and bleeding totally stopped...em bit afraid .is it ok that bleeding stop after 2 days ?
i visited that site and that says that i did successfully.
AnswerThe bleeding associated with misoprostol is very unpredictable. Some women will have minimal bleeding, as you are describing, while some will have heavier bleeding. Follow-up with the pregnancy tests as I suggested before. That should let you know whether or not it was successful.
