Dear Rawda,

It seems that in the first attempt to terminate the pregnancy, you could have been successful; however, 10 days continuous bleeding rises the suspicion of incomplete abortion. You must get ultrasonography done to ascertain the completeness of abortion.

If that abortion was complete, it seems you have a fresh pregnancy from the sex you had after abortion. The pills you have taken do not seem to have been taken appropriately with medical advice. The other possibility is that your previous pregnancy is growing undisturbed.

Now, please get your pregnancy test done on the overnight first morning urine sample to confirm the fresh pregnancy. Also get ultrasonography done to find out whether this is fresh pregnancy or the previous pregnancy still growing undisturbed.

If the previous pregnancy is growing undisturbed, you should not continue it. Cytotec causes developmental abnormalities in the So you will have to get it terminated by surgical method. If it is a fresh pregnancy, you can terminate the pregnancy again by Mifepristone + Misoprostol combination with Gynaecologist's advise.

Please report to your Gynaecologist ASAP.

I hope this gives you appropriate advice.
