The doctor will then take an ultrasound to determine the stage of the pregnancy and go through the medical questionnaire. A medical abortion may be accompanied by considerable blood loss. For this reason, a blood test (finger prick) is used to determine whether anaemia is present. An intake interview with the nurse follows and appropriate advice on contraception is given. The doctor will ultimately decide whether you are eligible for the abortion pill.

These will cause the uterus to contract and expel the amniotic sac. In 80% of cases, this happens 4-6 hours after the medication is inserted. This is usually accompanied by blood loss and abdominal cramps. We recommend that you take painkillers such as ibuprofen, diclofenac or naproxen on this day. If necessary, supplement with paracetamol. Blood loss can be considerable on this day. After that, the loss of blood varies greatly; from a few days to (sometimes) the next menstruation. \u2013 What does an abortion pill look like? The picture below shows the abortion pill.
