Transvaginal sonogram taken one day after misoprostol administration (three days after mifepristone administration). The absence of the gestational sac and the presence of intrauterine debris are typical of a complete abortion. Ultrasound image courtesy of the National Abortion Federation.

Transvaginal sonogram taken after mifepristone/misoprostol administration shows the presence of an empty gestational sac. A persistent gestational sac indicates an incomplete abortion. Management options include waiting for completion, administering a repeat dose of misoprostol, or performing an aspiration procedure. Ultrasound image courtesy of the National Abortion Federation.
