Brief Answer:
most probably it is incomplete abortion. should go for ultrasound.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

As you told that you had MTP pills and you are bleeding since 2 weeks.

It suggests that you did not abort completely.

I advise that you should go for ultrasound to confirm complete abortion. If minimal products are there, you should take tablet misoprostol 200mcg twice a day for 3 days (prescription drug). Consult it with your gynecologist.

If products of conception still remains, you should go for dilatation and curettage.

Hope it helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.
