At the follow up appointment an ultrasound will be performed to confirm that the termination is complete. If the ultrasound shows that the patient is having a delayed effect from the medications (the pregnancy has stopped growing but the tissue has not passed) they will be booked for a surgical termination of pregnancy. The risk of this happening is about 2%.
