Brief Answer:
Ultrasound and bHCG advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I have seen the attached pictures and seems like endometrial shedding after abortion which is a common phenomenon.
But still you need to get a transvaginal Ultrasound and BHCG levels so as to confirm complete abortion.
Get the tests done and then we can discuss further course of action.

The abortion i did was three weeks ago after they didnt find anything in the uterous they told mecto go to hospital because the pregenency was eptopic.
In the hospital they did ultrasound and blood test to me and gave me the two shots. The first one didnt work after one week gave mecthe second one.
After that my hermons level went down from 40,000 to 26,000 last wensday. A blood was coming out from the begining of the operation but lightly only at morning. Yesterday and today the bleeding increased especially today and as you saw an objects start to come out after a sharp pain the first one was smaller than the second and third, and i am bleeding after the object is coming out, but not continusely, i am concered if there is a rupture or something dangerous. It overnight here and i cant go to hospital untill morning.
Please advice me if it is noraml and if i am getting red of the eptopic pregenecy by bleeding this objects.
Is it dangerous or normal ? Plz

Brief Answer:
Not dangerous

Detailed Answer:
I understand your anxiety but there is nothing dangerous as this is just your period and your uterus is trying to expel the decidualised endometrium (kind of response of the lining of uterus to pregnancy) due to ectopic pregnancy.
The main point in favor is that patients with ectopic pregnancy do not expel clots and there is just a minimal spotting with unbearable pain.
But still an ultrasound is a must after medical treatment of ectopic pregnancy.
So you can very well go to hospital in morning and get the tests done.
All the best.
