Question
Hello,i last had my periods on 14th January, i took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I then took cytotec pills varginally and after 3 hours i had very little bleeding and it stopped. Was the abortion successful, i need your help.

Answer
Hi Sheba,
when did you take the cytotec, and how many.
Was your last period normal ?
In a very young pregnancy the bleeding is not much...so it depends on the dates.
Three weeks after you took the pills you can do a pregtest again to be sure.
I cannot say if the  abortion was successful.
I need more data from you.
Bye for now,
Dr Shan
