Most women experience their first period within 4 to 6 weeks after taking Mifepristone and Misoprostol. This first period may be heavier than normal, with increased cramping, small clots, and a longer duration. These changes are typically due to hormonal adjustments and your body clearing out any remaining tissue.
It’s also common to notice irregular spotting leading up to the first full period. Some women may feel more emotional or fatigued as hormones begin to stabilize. If your period hasn’t returned after 6–8 weeks, or if symptoms are unusually intense or painful, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare provider.
