Question
I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend she did a pregnancy test on 30rd Nov 10 that showed +ve results. Then she had a 1 mifepristone 200 tablet on 03rd Nov at 9.00 PM and after 12 hours she took 2 misoprostol 200 tablets on 4th Nov at 9.00 AM then after 2 more misoprostol 200 tablets at 9.00 PM. After that bleeding started from 6th Nov 12.30 PM till 9th Nov 11.00 AM. We have done home pregnancy test on 14th Nov and the result still +ve. What should we do in this case? Please advice.

Answer
Hi Kaushik ,
Why unprotected sex in the first place  ??
Anyway after an abortion the pregnancy hormones disappear slowly from the blood.
About three weeks later they are all removed.
So the pregtest becomes negative after three weeks.
All you need is patience and condoms.
Bests,
Dr Shan
