Hi XXXXXXX,
thanks for the query.

-bulky anteverted uterus:
means uterus is more than normal size and in anteverted position.
"according to your history I am thinking that you took tablets for abortion after confirming the pregnancy only".
the uterus grows in size during pregnancy, even after abortion it will take sometime to come to normal size.
uterus being in anteverted position is normal finding.

-thin and irregular endometrium:
indicating shedding of decidua (endometrium of the pregnancy),
as there is no mentioning of products of conception, it can be assumed that abortion is complete.
the endometrium will grow in next cycle.

-bilateral small ovarian cysts:
indicating presence of poly cystic ovarian disease,
which is characterized by anovulation, irregular menstruation etc,
if you are not having these symptoms no need to bother, if you are having consult gynecologist and get treated for them.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
take care.

Hi XXXXXXX,
if
-you have taken this ultrasound after your last pregnancy test,
-what you have written is your complete scan report and,
-no active bleeding at present
then it can be said that abortion is complete.

Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.

hi XXXXXXX,
with your description what I understood is,
-on the first day she confirmed your pregnancy by seeing gestational sac and gave you first tablet in the kit which is mifepristone, which works to stop the the effect of progesterone and makes sac vulnerable to abortion.

- next day after scan she gave you remaining three tablets which contain misoprostol, which leads to contraction of uterus and expulsion of the sac.

-on third day may be abortion was complete so, uterus was empty.

Now about present positive pregnancy test, the causes could be

-may be ovulation occurred at regular time after abortion and you conceived again.
-remaining products of conception of previous pregnancy.

what you can do now is,
-repeat urine pregnancy test, if positive go for ultrasound once preferably transvaginal which will rule out the cause.

thank u doctor.........but after taking mifepristone.bleeding started and i felt no passing of clots okk...the next day when i went to doctor for ultrasound my ultrasound report was clear with no g.s....ok but still she gave misopristol...so that no doubt is left ok.....when i came back then i saw that the name written on the ultrasound report before taking mifepristone that showed a g.s of about 4weeks ...it was not my name.....f9 but the name written on the report after taking mifepristone and before misopristol was my name indicating a clean uterus without g.s so can it happen that whole abortion is complete after mifepristone i was not sure that i was pregnant because i did not have proper intercourse infact i am a virgin..the penis just touched my vagina it did not go in.........so me and my mummy got confused dat by mistake doctor has given me medicine on the basis of wrong report showing g.s. of 4 weeks with not my name some other girls name.........so if any such thing had happened then can it affect my fertility or cause any problem if i ate anti preg kit when i was not pregnant actually......doctor i am not married and i did not have sex after taking medicine so there is no chance of me getting conceived after that abortion.....i hope i have made the situation clear

hi XXXXXXX,

the positive points to say that you were pregnant before taking tablets are:
- you might have gone to doctor after getting positive urine pregnancy test.
-normally doctors will remember the findings of the patient by seeing the face and may be report was given by some technician wrongly.
-spermatozoa may also present in pre-ejaculate fluid.
-only passage of blood can be seen in early pregnancy sometimes.

the negative points are:
-the report was really wrong may be because of high op etc.
-absence of passage of products of conception.

whatever it may be single dose of tablets will not affect the fertility in general. don't worry about it.

but what I am bothered about is you said that pregnancy test was positive two days back.
for that I told you to undergo repeat urine pregnancy test and ultrasound.

Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.

hi XXXXXXX

if you are not pregnant,
-the urine test was wrong, sometimes the kits will give wrong results.
-scan is normal and uterus is in the process of involution.
-as there are no retained products in latest scan no need to think about them.

if you are pregnant,
-because of early pregnancy the above changes are seen in scan and hpt test.

you didn't mention your last menstrual date,
anyhow if you are very sure that you are not pregnant, don't bother about all these things just repeat the urine pregnancy test after 4 to 5 days, it will clear the doubt.

Answered by Dr. Sree Gouri SR (15 hours later)
Hi XXXXXXX
-as you told that what you mentioned is your latest scan report and in that there is now evidence of products of conception,
-and as you are not having active bleeding,
now there may not be any products of conception inside.

when you are sure that you are not pregnant, why you repeated urine pregnancy test again? was there any bleeding recently?

anyhow if you are still having any spotting or doubt of pregnancy repeat the test, if it comes positive you go for repeat scan depending on the result further management can be planned.

take care.
