Ultrasound scan required

Hi,

I understand your concerns about abortion.

Your abortion seems to be complete. You need to get an ultrasound scan done to check the completion of abortion process.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Thank you doctor for you reply. I went for a scan 1day after i took misoprostol 800mcg. The scan is normal. No pregnancy seen. Endometrial thickness 7mm. Ovaries normal. I am a bit confused as to how my usg was normal. Had bleeding from the day 4 onwards. Normal bleeding. At present only spotting. Do i need another scan after 14days?? When can i start taking ocps??

Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Spotting is due to small pieces of Endometrial tissue and nothing else.

You can start OCP today.

There is nothing to worry.
