Have Breast Soreness, Fatigue, Distended Lower Abdomen Even After Abortion. Failed Abortion?

Hi,
I recently discovered that I was pregnant, exactly 4 weeks and 4 days, and that i had vaginitis. I decided to end the pregnancy and was given antibiotics for the vaginitis, and scheduled for a surgical procedure 3 days later. 4 hours prior to the procedure I was instructed to take two naproxen (which I had vommited up almost instantly) an antibiotic, and misoprostol to prepare my cervix. After the procedure I left the clinic and went home, I had mediocre cramping and bled lightly and passed a few clots that same day. I was ultimately worried after the abortion because I didn't feel much different than before the procedure and for two days after I was still experiencing fatigue, sore tender breasts, and haven't noticed my stomach return to its normal size. I still get nausea after taking the antibiotics that were given to me, and I had started to notice vaginal discomfort on the second day after the procedure that were very "yeast infection" symptoms. After going to an urgent care dr. I was instructed to take two pills for the yeast infection: one at that time, and one when I was finished taking the antibiotics (I was also given pro biotics). My question is what are the odds of a continuing pregnancy that has failed from a surgical (manual) aspiration, because I still don't feel quite like myself, having continuing breast soreness, slight fatigue, and no noticeable change in my lower abdomen shrinking to its original size. Should I be worried of a failed abortion?

Hello Dear,
Thanks for choosing us
Firstly, pregnancy with vaginitis is not an indication for termination. the only thing is that the infection has to be treated properly to prevent its effects like preterm labour.
Also, after abortion, body requires some time to get back to normal
Yes, like all other procedures, there is always a risk of failure of manual aspiration but this can be easily checked by carrying an ultrasound.
Your vaginal itching which was present even during pregnancy is the cause of your itching and requires treatment.
Kindly consult your gynae for the same
