Question
I was 6 weeks pregnant when i took the pills from a friend, totally there were 4 tablets, two taken 24 hours later than the first. But after taking the last two pills, about 45 mins later i vomited, i thought it would not work but after an hour later blood started to come with some tissues/blood clots. Then after a day and half something like a blood ball(im sorry i dont know what it really is) with a dimentipn of 1.2 inches came. I think its fetus, i dont know how a placenta would be... So after 6 days of that, i took a home pregnancy test and it was still positive.. in a place where i live i cannot goto a doctor or take an ultra-sound test-its illeagle, as im too young(19yrs). is this an incomplete abortion? Is it because of vomiting? What should i do? Take the pills again? I dont think i can wait for 8 more weeks to test :(
Ps. Im still bleeding, but not heavily...
Thanx

Answer
Hi Schinan,
your abortion was succesful.
As you can read in many of the answers here the pregtest stays positive until 3 weeks after the abortion. Pregnancy hormones leave the blood slowly. So your positive test said nothing.
Bloodlos after a medicinal abortion can also continue for a prolonged time.
Do bot take any more pills. Just start the contraceptive pil, and do not have unprotected sex .
So no worry !
Bye for now,
Dr Shan
