Took uterotonic medication! Can the gestational sac still be saved?

Patient's question:

Preparing for an abortion procedure! But don't want to do it anymore! But have taken the medication.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, medication-induced abortion generally results in most patients expelling the gestational sac within 6 hours after taking misoprostol tablets. However, it can also take up to a week for some, which is still considered normal. It is important to monitor vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, and to check if the gestational sac has been expelled. The gestational sac is white, and if it is expelled intact, it will appear round. After one week, a follow-up ultrasound is recommended to check the condition of the uterine cavity.
