Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion once the pregnancy test is positive the presence of pregnancy is confirmed.
The pregnancy might be very early so nothing is seen on ultrasound .
Usually the gestational sac the first sign of pregnancy is seen around 6 weeks on ultrasound.
The termination of pregnancy is done by medical and surgical methods depending on the age of pregnancy.
The medical method is tried upto 7 weeks of pregnancy.
The medicines which you taken might not be sufficient to cause termination.
The intake of papaya or pineapple is also not related to termination of pregnancy.
The medicines used for termination is mifepristone and misoprostol.
So I suggest you to discuss regarding them with your doctor.
But don't take them on your own as they might cause complications like heavy bleeding,incomplete abortion etc.
So relax.Nothing to worry.
The medical method is 95% effective if taken within stipulated time.
Avoid stress.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.
Best regards....Dr.Srilatha
