Hello Odessa
Thank you for your query.
Firstly, medical abortion should only be done under proper medical guidance.
The pregnancy has to be confirmed, that it is intra uterine, and then exact weeks of pregnancy have to be calculated by ultrasound.
After that medical abortion pills are given in correct dosage and schedule.
You have taken incorrect tablets.
A follow up visit to a gynecologist is compulsory to check whether the procedure is complete.
You cannot rely on a pregnancy test to confirm whether the abortion is complete.
Please consult a gynecologist at the earliest.
take care.
