Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

Firstly i will like to say the right dosage for inducing abortion is not 240micrograms.

Termination of pregnancy has a legal procedure and should not be done or taken as an over the counter medication. Termination of pregnancy has to be done under the supervision of a health care provider because the complications are enormous and fatal.

Abortions constitute a significant fraction of causes of maternal deaths and should be given the right attention by doing it in the hospital or under the supervision of a health care provider.

The spotting indicate that you are having an abortion which could be threatened, inevitable or incomplete and rarely can it be complete since you talk only of spotting.

Pregnancy test remains positive weeks after a pregnancy is terminated.

Best regards
Dr Achuo
