If you're still experiencing cramping, headaches, or nausea for more than a couple of days, have a fever, or are bleeding profusely (enough to soak two maxi pads in an hour), seek medical attention right away. While these severe side effects are considered rare, you may need a procedure to stop bleeding or to fully remove the tissue from the body. You do not need to disclose that you've taken an abortion pill if you do not feel safe doing so, however—miscarriages and incomplete abortions have almost identical symptoms.
