What is the reason why the medication abortion hasn't expelled?

Patient's question:

I accidentally got pregnant, and because it was still early, I decided on medication abortion. But why did the medication abortion not expel anything after 13 hours?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, there is no need to be anxious. From a medical perspective, this is an extremely normal phenomenon. Under normal circumstances, most women can expel the gestational sac within about 6 hours after taking medication for a medication-induced abortion. However, a small portion of women may take up to a week to expel it after taking the oral medication. Patients should not feel too much pressure and should focus on getting plenty of rest.
