Side effects of the medication may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and shivering. It may continue to be quite heavy for a day or two as the uterus needs to contract and return to its normal size. But Most women pass the pregnancy within 4 or 5 hours after taking the pill. For others, it can be quicker or take longer.
