Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Medical abortion pills should only be taken after medical consultation.
Firstly the pregnancy should be confirmed and then dated by a gynaecologist.
Then the medications should be taken in the correct dosage and schedule.
After that, a follow up visit after fifteen days will clarify whether the abortion was complete or not.
If these steps are not followed, following complications can result - uncontrolled severe bleeding, infection, undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy, incomplete abortion , sepsis etc.
It appears that you have taken them in a wrong order and wrong method.
At 2 months pregnancy, significant bleeding with cramps and clot passages should occur.
Please visit a doctor and have a scan to clarify.
All the best.
