Can I take any pain medication to avoid pain during the abortion process?
A. Yes, you can take 200 to 600 mg of ibuprofen successfully to avoid pain during the expulsion time of the abortion process. The use of ibuprofen is not contraindicated and does not decrease the likelihood of abortion. Q. How much bleeding is expected with the abortion pill? A. In general, the bleeding should be a little bit more than a regular menstrual period. However, during the actual abortion process which usually last two hours the patient will pass tissue, blood and sometimes 10 cents size blood clots. Then the bleeding tapers down. The majority of the patients do not experience heavy bleeding with the abortion pill and are happy with their choice. Q. How much bleeding is too much? Give me a reference. A. First of all, your sense of well being must be present at all times. You should not feel like you are going to faint. You are bleeding heavy if you are passing blood clots larger than 25 cents and you are soaking through 3 pads per hour for 2 hours in a row. Inform your physic
