She started complaining of vaginal bleeding a week after she prompted me to place her on a non steroidal drug for a week.

Hi,

HCG and ultrasound both should be done as sometimes pregnancy at other places can happen like tubes carrying eggs etc., these levels and USG can tell if ectopic pregnancy is there. It should be 2 tablets once immediately and other exactly 12 hours after the first. One should not be pregnant before also. At most 5% always these pills can fail. Take her to gynecologist and make comfort.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
