Had LCSC Surgery. Pregnant. Taking Meferpristom And Misoprostol. Have Normal Bleeding. Normal?

Hello Doctor, I am Ruchi, 28 happily married with 1 girl child and she is now 1.4 yrs. my firs baby was LCSC surgical due to DTA. I would like to tell you that I was now again pregnant (5 weeks) and since this baby wasn't planned so i opt for medical abortion. I took miferpristone and misoprostol as prescribed by doctor. But, as I read over google about heavy bleeding and unbearable pain. But in my case it was pretty normal I took the first medicine on 21 and second on 23 at 1 pm and 5 pm respectively and then bleeding starts, usually soaks 2 pads a day. Today is 30 and i am still have some spots on daily basis. My question is: what are the chances that i miscarried the baby, can it be tested again with pregnancy kit apart from the ultra sound. What are the chances that some piece is left inside and it will block the tube. Thanks, Ruchi

Hi Ruchi
Thanks for writing to us.
The pregnancy test kit cannot confirm if the abortion was complete.
THe only definitive way to know is to have a pelvic ultrasound, which is not a big deal , as far as your health is concerned.
Please get it done.
Chances of tubal damage following abortion exist, but are low.
Also, chances of retained tissue inside are upto 5 %.
Take care.
