...still early enough for the pill to be used safely, which will automatically exclude many women who don't realize they are pregnant until more than 49 days after their last period. Two sets of pills are required--first mifepristone, then, two days later, misoprostol, to trigger contractions and expel the fetal tissue--and that can cause nausea, heavy bleeding and painful cramping. After about 12 days, a woman must return to the doctor to confirm that the abortion was successful...
