Question
Hae Dr. i performed a medical abortion on the 25th Sept by the help of a pharmacist i bled for three days and a half but on staying i feel sourness in my mouth esp. if i take sugarly stuf does it mean am still pregnant and today morning i took HCG URINE TEST it turned positive the two lines were faint am i still pregnant or how can i know?

regards,
carol.

Answer
Dear Carol,
The good news is that if the lines are faint, it is likely that the pregnancy is over.  You can repeat it in one week to be absolutely sure.  It sounds like things went well - you had a good amount of bleeding, and that usually indicates that it was successful.  The sour taste doesn't indicate there is anything wrong.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
