Hello,
Thanks for writing back.
I would suggest an ultrasound of pelvis be done for you , which will tell us you had a complete abortion ( that means all the products of conception or the fetus was expelled) or still there are any products of conception seen in the uterus [Incomplete abortion].
If your ultrasound report shows incomplete abortion then you have to consult a Gynaecologist as a dilation and curettage will be required.
If your report shows complete abortion, then you avoid intercourse till your next menses for two reasons-
1. There are high chances of infection after abortion.
2. There are chances of conception [pregnancy].
Please see a gynaecologist as soon as possible. Also, please so not take these drugs without the supervision of a gynaecologist the next time. It can lead to XXXXXXX amounts of bleeding ( which can prove fatal at times)
Hope you find this answer helpful.
Please accept this answer if you have no further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
