How To Check For Successful Medical Abortion?
Question: I was 4 weeks since last period, so pregnancy only 2 weeks. I inserted 4 cyctotec vaginal, and only a little spots of blood when I wiped. After 4 hours, I insert another 4 tablets and wait overnight, and still only a little blood on my napkin and when wiped. That morning I insert another 2 tablets, is all I have left, and later that day I had some clots. I had diarrhea and hurting cramps all day. The last clot I had was small and had two parts. One side was like a red feathery type tissue, the other was a yellowish clear with sort of like a tail curl around it. The two parts connect at the top of each other. I look at Google pictures of fetus and it looked like some of the pictures. I have no more pains after that, but my bbt temp still high and pregnant test still positive 6 days after. No way to see a doctor till next month and family cannot know they will hurt me maybe.
Brief Answer:
Get ultrasound scan done to confirm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Only cytotec tablets are less likely to cause a complete abortion. It is usually given in combination with mifepristone for abortion.
You must have expelled some parts of the fetus or the endometrial lining. The only way to know regarding the complete abortion is by getting an ultrasound scan done or test the blood beta HCG levels. A declining HCG levels will help in confirming the abortion. The urine test may remain positive for even 2 weeks after the abortion.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thank you Dr. Will dr who do scan be able to tell about cytotec? I do not want to get in trouble.
Brief Answer:
Not definitively.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The doctor who does a scan cannot tell about cytotec. He can tell about the ongoing abortion if it is incomplete. You can give a history that it was a spontaneous bleeding followed by a spontaneous expulsion.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
