Brief summary in lay language

The main objective of this observational study is to record the duration of vaginal bleeding after the medical induction of an early pregnancy failure with a combination of 2 drugs (mifepristone and misoprostol). The results of this survey should help to determine the best time to evaluate the success of the therapy in order to avoid unnecessary surgery in the future or to be able to offer necessary operations at the earliest opportunity.

Interventions, Observational Groups

Arm 1:
Patients who undergo medical induction with a mifepristone-misoprostol regimen will be asked to fill out a data sheet daily on the extent of their vaginal bleeding (bleeding in/above normal strength, spotting, no bleeding). Follow-up appointment 2 weeks after initiation.

Endpoints

Primary outcome:
Evaluation of the duration of vaginal bleeding following medical induction on the basis of a data sheet filled in daily by the patients themselves
Secondary outcome:
Evaluation of predictive factors for the success of a medical induction (success = no additional measures such as curettage or additional misoprostol doses necessary). The parameters used in the analysis are routinely collected at the beginning of a medical induction of an early pregnancy failure.
