Hello,
In the current scenario, you should see a specialist at once and get a complete evaluation. You will also need a sonogram-pelvic and trans-vaginal to assess the situation. Self-medication to induce a medical abortion is a grave mistake with unwanted consequences many-a-time. Please get medical assistance immediately. You should get blood counts, bleeding and clotting time tested. Though the abortion may have been complete, hCG levels remain high for some time and decline gradually, so you can get a positive pregnancy test up to 3 weeks after the abortion. Hope this helps.
