24 hours after swallowing the Mifepristone, the Misoprostol tablets can be used in one of two ways: vaginally or buccally (in the space between gum and cheek). Both methods are equally effective in causing an abortion.
We strongly advise you to use Misoprostol in the space between your gum and cheek. This way, no remains of the pills can be found in the event that you need to go to a hospital. There are no blood tests that can show that you have taken Mifepristone or Misoprostol, so there will be no way to prove that you tried to do an abortion.
In countries where women can be prosecuted for having an abortion, it is not necessary to tell the medical staff that you tried to induce an abortion. You can say that you had a spontaneous miscarriage. The doctor CANNOT see the difference. The treatment is also the same. The treatment is curettage, also known as vacuum aspiration, during which a doctor will remove remaining tissue from the womb. Doctors have the obligation to help in all cases.
More scientific information:
The efficacy rate of buccal use of Misoprostol is 95%. When used vaginally, the rate is 93%. Nausea is the most commonly reported side effect, affecting 70% in the buccal group and 62% in the vaginal group. ?Buccal administration of Misoprostol after low dose Mifepristone for medical abortion appears to be a highly effective and acceptable alternative to vaginal administration for medical abortion in pregnancies through 56 days. 61
If you prefer to use the tablets in your vagina, you should use your fingers to put Misoprostol tablets in as deep as possible, in the back where the womb starts. If you have a complication and you live in a place where hospital staff might denounce you to the police, check your vagina carefully with your fingers to determine whether tablets have dissolved properly. Remove any traces and then go to the hospital immediately. The pills generally take four days to dissolve completely.
