Bleeding after the abortion pill usually starts 1 to 4 hours after you take misoprostol. The heaviest bleeding and cramping last about 3 to 5 hours. After that, lighter bleeding or spotting often keeps going for 1 to 3 weeks, and your first normal period usually comes back in 4 to 6 weeks.

Drink non-alcoholic fluids, eat light foods while you feel sick to your stomach, and go back to your normal meals once the nausea passes. Skip alcohol for at least 24 hours after you take misoprostol, and call the clinic if you cannot keep fluids down.
