Brief Answer:
Talk to your doctor about the next step!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Vaginal bleeding does not always signifies that the pregnancy is aborted. The ultrasound findings are suggestive of a failed attempt and that is why the fetus is still there. What is the viability of this fetus?

The best thing to do is to talk to your doctor to guide you and follow through on what steps to take. I always advise clients to talk to a physician before carrying on with abortion so that they can always intervene in case of an emergency.

In all, this suggest that the product of conception are still in place and signifies a failed attempt. Further measures need to be taken to address this in order to completely terminate the pregnancy.

I hope that this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
The pain is as a result of uterine contractions!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for following up with me.

Th severe pain is as a results of abdominal contractions caused by the cytotec. Until the content of the uterus comes out, this would continue like labor pains do. I kindly suggest that you talk to your OBGYN before trying any further cytotec tablets. Toxicity due to cytotec is rare but complications like uterine rupture can occur.

In all, talk to your OBGYN before continuing any further cytotec tablets.

I wish you well and let me know what your thoughts are.
